en.Wedoany.com Reported - Russian limited liability company "Inkab" (ООО "Инкаб") has completed and commissioned a final production site for submarine fiber optic cables in Primorsky Krai, completing the final stage of a cross-regional production cycle and covering manufacturing capabilities for all standard structures of fiber optic communication cables. The total investment in the project is approximately 1.2 billion rubles, of which 454 million rubles come from a concessional loan provided by the Federal Industrial Development Fund (ФРП) under the "Supporting Components" program, with the fund's resources coordinated by the Russian Foreign Economic Bank (VEB.RF) on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

This cross-regional full-cycle project is divided into two parts. The first part produces optical fiber cores for cables at the Perm production base, with semi-finished products subsequently transported to Primorsky Krai, where the final manufacturing of submarine fiber optic cables is completed at the dock and directly loaded onto cable-laying vessels. Submarine fiber optic cables are core components of trunk communication lines operating at depths of up to 4 kilometers, with a multi-layer structure ensuring a service life of up to 25 years, and each cable can accommodate up to 96 optical fibers. The company primarily sources raw materials from domestic suppliers, achieving a localization level of approximately 92%. With both production bases fully operational, the company can produce over 2,500 kilometers of cables annually, with individual cable lengths reaching up to 50 kilometers, in line with international practices. This is particularly important for the Arctic region, where the annual navigation window is limited to 4 to 5 months.

Alexander Smilgevich (Александр Смильгевич), General Director of LLC "Inkab Far East" (ООО "Инкаб Дальний Восток"), stated that the launch of the production site in Primorsky Krai fills a technological gap, making the company one of the few global manufacturers of fiber optic communication cables covering all standard structures. The funding source is a concessional loan from the Federal Industrial Development Fund, an effective tool for supporting the production sector. Russia has a long coastline along the Arctic and Pacific, with significant infrastructure needs, and this production line directly meets the demands of the Arctic and Far East regions, ensuring technological sovereignty in the complex field of the cable industry.

Submarine fiber optic lines provide high-speed communication services to residents, businesses, and government agencies in the Far North, Far East, and sea areas such as the Black Sea, Caspian Sea, and Baltic Sea, while also meeting the needs of northern transportation and geological exploration, and creating infrastructure for communication technologies, including 5G. Previously, the company used another loan from the Federal Industrial Development Fund to establish an industrial production line for optical fiber cores of submarine cables in Perm Krai, with a project budget of 400 million rubles, of which the Federal Industrial Development Fund provided 315 million rubles.
