Title Production of Optical Fibre
Type Establishment of new production line
Description
This project comprises two phrases: (1) importing optical fibre drawing equipment and prefabricated glass feedstock from Japan and setting up an optical fibre production line; (2) importing a MCVD glass lathe for the production of feedstock and introducing key processes and technologies for manufacture of prefabricated glass feedstock, and developing domestic production capacity on a full-scale.
Rationale
Optical fibre is an important material for communications in modern society. It is anticipated that from 1996 to 2000, the annual demand for optical fibre in China will reach 2.5-4.0 million kilometres. About 95% of optical fibre consumption is currently imported, and there is no domestic capacity in this field. The development of a domestic capacity for producing optical fibre will serve a huge market potential, will have profound significance for national independence in the field of communications and will have strong support from the local authorities.
Outputs
An established optical fibre production line with an annual capacity of 300,000 kilometres, including production of glass feedstock.
