High-Strength Figure 8 24 Core Aerial Fiber Optic Cable With Steel
Wire Armor
Description
The optical fibers are enclosed within a loose tube crafted from
durable high modulus plastic, and these tubes
are filled with a water-resistant compound. A steel wire serves as
the central metallic strength member within
the core. Surrounding this strength member, the tubes and fillers
are stranded to create a compact, circular
cable core. A PSP (Parallel Steel Wire) is applied around this
core, and with stranded wires providing support,
the cable is encased in a polyethylene (PE) sheath to form a figure
8 structure. This design is intended for self-
supporting aerial installations.
Application
1 Ideal for aerial installation and pipeline laying methods.
2 Tailored for outdoor distribution, ensuring durability in varying
conditions.
3 Designed for long-distance and local area network communication.
Characteristics
• Exhibits excellent mechanical and temperature performance.
• Features a high-strength loose tube with hydrolysis resistance.
• Specialized tube filling compound ensures crucial fiber
protection.
• Exhibits crush resistance and flexibility.
• PE sheath safeguards the cable against ultraviolet radiation.
