FCD EDGE
Fiber Cables Direct was created to provide customers with a faster, more dependable way to source fiber optic cable and Ethernet connectivity products. From our manufacturing facility in Corona, California, we support government agencies, resellers, contractors, data centers, and infrastructure teams with stocked products, quick-turn custom assemblies, and responsive service from experienced connectivity professionals. Over more than 20 years, we have developed a combination that is difficult to find from a single cable supplier: ISO 9001-certified quality management, Woman-Owned Small Business certification, and TAA/BAA-compliant products manufactured in the United States. We consider it our procurement triple crown—giving customers verified quality, domestic manufacturing capabilities, and added value for government and small-business purchasing requirements.
Our operation is built around the areas that matter most to our customers: availability, consistent quality, and direct value. We stock more than 1 million cables in lengths ranging from ½ meter to 300 meters, helping 95% of our orders ship within 1 to 2 business days.
When a standard product does not meet the requirements of a project, our Corona manufacturing team can produce custom fiber optic and ethernet cables with fast turnaround times. We use proven materials, including Corning™ fiber and ceramic ferrules, and individually test every cable assembly before shipment to ensure it meets demanding performance standards. By purchasing raw materials directly and manufacturing many products in-house, we reduce unnecessary distribution layers, maintain competitive pricing, and provide greater control over product quality and delivery. Online orders are also eligible for free U.S. ground shipping, and our cables are backed by a lifetime warranty.
Fiber Cables Direct combines the capabilities to support demanding projects with the service and responsiveness of a dedicated small-business partner.
