Welcome to Optical Communication Engineering Sdn. Bhd

Introduction 
Optical Communication Engineering (OCE) was established in 1992 by Rimbunan Hijau Group to produce optical fibers, optical cables and associated passive devices, active devices and accessories in Malaysia. Optical Communication Engineering has 2 high tech, high precision fiber drawing towers since establishment of business. The first tower in operation is from SG Control(England) and the second tower from Nokia, (Finland). With a potential production capacity of 500,000 fiber km per annum for single mode and multimode optical fibers, OCE has been supplying and supporting the domestic and international optical fiber cable manufacturers. Shortly after commissioning the 2 towers, OCE also started to install SWISS CAB cabling line to produce optical fiber cables.

The cabling lines produces outdoor loose tube and slotted core cable (slotted core production is now ceased) for long distance installation. The total annum capacity of cable line is 8000km. With such capacity, OCE has been supplying and supporting local and ASEAN telecommunication companies.

In January 1995, OCE entered into an agreement with NTT International to terminate optic fiber cable with SC and FC connectors (i.e pigtails and patchcords) for local and International markets with the support of production technology from NTTI. With improvement to technologies acquired, OCE is also able to terminate cable with ST, LC and MT-RJ connectors.

OCE has acquired multiple SEIKO and SANKYO mass polishing machines to produce pigtails and patchcords with highest International Standard required by telecommunication companies in Japan, United State of America, United kingdom, Germany, India, ASEAN countries and Australia. The current termination capacity in Petaling Jaya factory is 1 million pieces per annum.

In line with cable termination, the cabling lines were expanded to produce indoor tight buffered cable including simplex cord, zipcord and various types of distribution, fan out and break out cables. However the outdoor slot core cable were made obsolete.

The optical fiber need is ever changing. In year 1999, the long distance cable installation peaked. Most needs were shifting to metro area network. With fiber cable termination technologies in hand, OCE was in best position to take the shift in the industry.

Further more, OCE recognized that one of the most important ingredient of the Metro Area Network is ferrule. This is because long distance cables are brunched to multiple short distance cables in cities or towns. Each fiber needs to be terminated which requires splicing to pigtail, and patching from pigtail to equipment. Each pigtail needs a termination, simplex patchcord needs two terminations and Zipcord needs 4 terminations. Each termination required one ferrule. As a result, the ferrule market expanded rapidly.

OCE sees the need for ferrule, hence OCE entered into agreement with a Korean company to help transfer ferrule manufacturing technology to OCE within 3 years. The expected capacity is 5 million pieces per annum.

In the meantime OCE has entered into agreement with Taiwan and Korea manufacturers to produce best quality housing kits, adapters, couplers/splitters and attenuators.

Year 2001 to 2002, OCE research team studied and recommended products that manage ever increase complex and spaghetti-like indoor cabling plant. More fiber management products such as conduit, trays and panels are made available to our valuable customers.

Today, OCE has becomes your best optical fiber cabling solution partner concentrating in making products used for cabling solution. These products included

long haul cables, enclosures, splicing tool kits and splicing tray, 
outdoor direct burial pipe, indoor cables, duct and conduits for last mile transmission, indoor and estate cabling, 
connectorisation tools, fiber management system for cable to equipment and equipment to equipment patching solution and 
media converter for electronics driven equipment to take advantages of light. 
OCE is being transformed from technologies acquiring company to technologies providing company. OCE trained and still training world class installers to make optical cabling solution. OCE is involved in transferring optic cable manufacturing technologies to other companies.

With the large resources offered by RH group of companies, OCE is working with our sister company called TRI-M (renounced for manufacturing high tech and quality semi-conductor products) to design and manufacture media converters.

With such a long experience with optical fiber, cable and device manufacturing, whether you are telco, end users, optic products distributors or installers, Optical Communication Engineering hoped to continue to be the affordable, quality and efficient supplier for all your optical cabling solution needs.
