Which code does this activity belong in?
Fiber optic cable manufacturing comprises establishments that insulate purchased fiber optic strand to produce finished fiber optic cable. The key distinction from Other Communication and Energy Wire Manufacturing is the input material; fiber optic cable manufacturers work with fiber optic strand, while wire manufacturers process purchased nonferrous metal wire into insulated products. Both activities involve insulation operations, but fiber optic cable manufacturers are specialized to handle optical fiber rather than metallic conductors.
