Expert Hybrid Cabling Designed for Maputo, Beira, Nacala, and Cabo Delgado Projects
Mozambique is currently undergoing a massive digital and industrial transformation. Backed by strategic developments along the Nacala Logistics Corridor, the expansion of Maputo port facilities, and major liquefied natural gas (LNG) operations in Cabo Delgado, the nation requires next-generation telecommunication infrastructure that can withstand challenging environmental stresses. As local telecom operators—including TMCEL, Vodacom Moçambique, and Movitel—expand their 4G LTE and 5G cellular coverage, remote base stations (Macro sites) require simultaneously high-speed data transmission and reliable power supply.
This is where Hybrid Fiber Optic Cables (Opto-Electric Composite Cables) become vital. By integrating copper electrical conductors and glass optical fibers within a single, highly armored protective jacket, these cables eliminate the need to run separate electrical lines and data conduits. Dongguan XT Cabled Co., Ltd. serves as an expert manufacturer and key exporter delivering custom, industrial-grade hybrid solutions that meet Mozambique’s stringent regulations, including the guidelines established by the Instituto Nacional das Comunicações de Moçambique (INCM).

Engineered to handle Mozambique's unique commercial challenges, marine corrosion, and high-tension spans
In the offshore and land-based gas facilities in Cabo Delgado and Pemba, high-definition CCTV security perimeters require steady power and ultra-fast, zero-latency data transmission. Armored opto-electric hybrid cables transmit control feeds and support dynamic camera sweeps over distances exceeding 5 km without signal degradation.
Mozambique's vast rural regions have restricted electrical infrastructure. Mobile operators are establishing remote macro towers by utilizing DC-powered Remote Radio Heads (RRHs). A single hybrid composite cable provides structural high-voltage power paired with 24-core single-mode fiber elements to the tower top, cutting tower loading and weight in half.
In Maputo and Beira, real estate developments use GPON/FTTH connections. Building developers benefit from utilizing combined fiber-copper drops to power smart meters and home gateways directly from the local distributor box, creating a highly organized utility layout and saving valuable conduits space.

Founded in 2012, Dongguan XT Cabled Co., Ltd. is a specialized manufacturer of high-quality fiber optic and composite cables. Located in Dongguan, Guangdong Province, China, our advanced facility spans over 12,000 square meters. Here, 180+ experienced professionals employ modern production lines and strict testing methodologies to deliver reliable fiber solutions.
Every batch of our composite opto-electric cables undergoes rigorous testing before shipment. These tests include optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR) testing, copper conductor continuity tests, sheath puncture tests, and tensile strength experiments. Our processes meet international standards including IEC 60794, ITU-T, and IEEE. We routinely customize options for international engineering consortia operating in Africa, providing OEM/ODM manufacturing that integrates specialized brand prints and custom packaging drums.
"Whether deploying systems in the humid ports of Beira and Quelimane or dry inland regions, our cables deliver stable performance over a 25-year operational lifecycle."

How composite photoelectric technology simplifies deployment and cuts network operating costs
A composite opto-electric cable contains glass fiber cores (usually G.652.D or G.657.A1 bend-insensitive fibers) located inside a central gel-filled buffer tube or individual loose tubes. Next to this loose tube, we place copper conductors insulated with high-grade cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
To counter the heat generated by the copper conductor when transmitting high electric currents, our designers use special thermal-resistant protective layers. The entire construction is reinforced with aramid yarn strength elements or high-tensile steel wire, covered with a corrugated steel tape armoring layer, and sealed with a heavy-duty, weather-resistant polyethylene (PE) jacket.
This structure enables the cable to withstand up to 3000N of installation tension, making it ideal for underground direct burial, duct pulling, or aerial self-supporting runs across rural areas.
A comprehensive overview of shipping procedures, port clearance, and INCM type approval standards
We arrange shipping containers directly from Shenzhen or Guangzhou ports to Maputo, Beira, and Nacala ports. All export packing lists, wooden drum fumigation certs, and certificates of origin are pre-cleared for smooth customs handling.
Instituto Nacional das Comunicações de Moçambique requires verification for telecommunications equipment. We supply comprehensive testing sheets, technical data matrices, and factory certificates to help local importers secure approvals.
Our commercial documents conform to Mozambican customs requirements. We utilize clear HS Codes (e.g., 8544.70.00 for optical fiber cables) to prevent import delays and minimize tariff classification discrepancies.
