How many cable makers in African continent?
Quote from Fiber on February 25, 2023, 11:18 AMThis group has been inactive for a while. In order to make this live again, please aswer this simple question. You might know that Africa's fiber consumption is around 20 million fiber kilometres. These are mainly consumed by mobile operators and FTTx deployment companies. Egypt and South Africa are leading consumers of optical fibers in African continent. Mostlty, fiber optic cables are imported in African countries.
How many optical fiber cable manufacturers are there in African countries? fiber optical cable production machines are available now at compartively cheaper prices from countries like China and India. Chinese machines are cheaper and are widely available. However, you can't expect the quality of European machines on Chinese machines. Also, the level of service quality offered by European cable machine manufacturers is simply superb. In order to reduce the capital expenditure to start a production of optic cables, investors look for cheaper (economically justifiable) equipment from China. I am not promoting Chinese machines here, but just stating the market reality.
Please list out the names of optical fiber cable manufacturers in African countries.

13. BMET in Ethiopia is a fiber optic cable manufacturer, invested by Elsewedy, I guess. Please correct if I am wrong.
14. East Africa Cables in Kenya also produces fiber optic cables
