Request a QuoteFrequently Asked Questions
How do Vocom's lead times compare with Corning, Prysmian, Sumitomo Electric and YOFC?
Vocom's standard build-to-order lead time is 6 to 8 weeks, up to 10 weeks for high-count or custom builds, and 2 to 3 weeks for expedited orders by air freight. We couldn't find a public lead time from the other four, so ask each one for a current date on your specification.
Does Vocom manufacture fiber optic cable?
No. Cable is produced to specification by tier 1 manufacturing partners on Fujikura preform glass. Vocom handles specification, sourcing, build-to-order coordination and delivery.
Why is there no pricing in this comparison?
Price depends on the fiber count, fiber type, construction, order quantity and delivery location, so bulk cable is quoted per order. Send us your specification and we'll confirm price and lead time together.
