With the rapid development of digital communication technology, the requirements for the performance and quality of cables are constantly increasing. In order to meet the new technical requirements and market changes, it is imperative to revise the national standard for pair or star-quadded multicore symmetrical cables for digital communication.

In the early days, China's standards in this field were relatively lagging behind, making it difficult to meet the growing communication demands. With the update of international standards and the rapid development of the domestic communication industry, the revision of the standards has gradually been put on the agenda.

After the release of the GB/T 18015.1-2007 standard, some deficiencies have gradually emerged in practical applications. For example, certain technical indicators in the original standard can no longer meet the requirements of high-speed and large-capacity digital communication; the specifications for new cable structures and materials are not perfect enough; there are gaps in the setting of some performance parameters compared with the international advanced level.

To align the national standards with international ones and enhance the quality and competitiveness of China's digital communication cables, relevant departments initiated the revision work. The task was assigned in the national standard review plan in 2023. By April 2024, efforts were made to recruit members for the standard drafting working group, and the working group was established in the first half of May. The standard revision work has been advancing in an orderly manner. The drafting group has been collecting opinions through online platforms, holding meetings for discussion and sorting, and continuously improving the standard text.

Through a series of rigorous work processes, the newly revised standard has undergone numerous optimizations and improvements in technical content. For example, the cable structure has been changed, some obsolete cable categories have been removed, and the requirements for various performance indicators have been adjusted to better adapt to the development trend of the digital communication industry.

Established in 2014 and headquartered in Guangming District, Shenzhen, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, testing, production, and sales of 5G communication cables, charging gun and charging pile cables for new energy vehicles, photovoltaic energy storage cables, and optical fiber cables. The company has developed rapidly, with a professional R&D and management team. It has established a CNAS national laboratory and carried out "industry-university-research" cooperation with the most authoritative institutions in the national wire and cable field.

The company owns a number of advanced production and testing equipment at home and abroad, and its scale and quantity rank first in the same industry in Shenzhen. It has independently developed and produced a number of high-grade advanced products in the market, and has successively passed ISO quality, environmental, and occupational health and safety management system certifications, as well as a number of high-end product certifications such as UL high-grade CMP in the United States and Canada, ETL in the United States, TUV in Germany, CPR in the European Union, and RCM in Australia. Currently, it has more than 60 patents and has won many corporate honors.

As an important participant in the revision of the national standard for pair or star-quadded multicore symmetrical cables for digital communication, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED, with its profound technical accumulation and rich practical experience in the field of communication cables, has provided valuable suggestions and practical cases for the standard revision. The company's technical team actively participated in the discussion and research of the standard, sharing advanced technologies and methods in product R&D, production, and quality control.

At the same time, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED used its CNAS national-level testing center to experimentally verify and provide data support for the relevant technical indicators in the standard, providing a strong guarantee for the scientificity and feasibility of the standard. During the standard revision process, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED gave full play to its own advantages and closely cooperated with other drafting units to jointly promote the improvement and optimization of the standard, contributing significantly to the development of China's digital communication cable industry.

The revision of the standard has brought many positive impacts on the digital communication cable industry. Firstly, it has raised the industry's entry threshold, prompting enterprises to increase R&D investment, improve technical levels and product quality, and promote the entire industry to move towards high-quality development. Secondly, it has unified and standardized industry standards, reduced product differences and uncertainties, enhanced market transparency and predictability, and is conducive to the orderly competition and healthy development of the industry. Thirdly, the new standard encourages enterprise innovation, accelerates the R&D and promotion of new products, promotes industry technological progress, and provides higher-quality and more efficient cable products for the digital communication field to meet the growing market demand.

For INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED, the new standard brings many opportunities. On the one hand, with its active participation in the standard revision and technical accumulation, it can better adapt to new technical requirements and be the first to launch new products that meet the standards, thus gaining an advantage in market competition. On the other hand, the standardization and integration of the industry are conducive to high-quality enterprises like INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED to expand market share and enhance brand influence.

However, challenges cannot be ignored.

To meet the new standard, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED needs to invest more resources in technical R&D and equipment renewal, which may increase the company's costs. At the same time, the intensification of market competition also requires INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED to continuously improve its innovation ability and service level to cope with the competitive pressure from its peers. Overall, with its solid foundation and proactive response strategies, INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED is expected to achieve greater development in the new standard environment.

With the continuous innovation of digital communication technology, the national standard for pair or star-quadded multicore symmetrical cables for digital communication is expected to develop further in the following aspects. In terms of performance requirements, more attention will be paid to high-speed, large-capacity, low-loss, and high-stability transmission performance to meet the needs of emerging technologies such as 5G communication, cloud computing, and big data. The requirements for the safety and environmental protection of cables will also continue to increase, for example, setting more stringent standards in terms of fire resistance and recyclability of materials. In addition, the standard may place more emphasis on coordination with international standards to promote the competitiveness of domestic cable products in the international market.

INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED will closely follow the development trend of national standards and formulate the following strategic plans. Continuously increase R&D investment, introduce high-end talents, and enhance technological innovation capabilities to ensure that it always remains at the forefront of the industry in terms of technology. Strengthen cooperation with domestic and foreign research institutions to jointly carry out research on cutting-edge technologies and provide technical support for product upgrades. Further optimize the production process, improve production efficiency, and reduce costs to meet the market's demand for cost-effectiveness.

In terms of market expansion, actively explore emerging domestic and foreign markets, enhance brand awareness and market share. At the same time, pay attention to the diversified development of products, not only meeting the needs of the communication field but also stepping into more related fields such as intelligent transportation and industrial automation. INTEGRITY CABLE CO., LIMITED will always adhere to the value concept of "Integrity, Pragmatism, Responsibility, and Win-Win" and is committed to providing customers with higher-quality and more advanced cable products and solutions, contributing to the development of the digital communication industry.
