Anti-Rodent Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Fiber Optic Cable

Anti-Rodent

The cable’s core features a non-metallic central core made of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP), providing structural stability. To maintain a compact & circular cable core, the loose tube and filler rope are precisely helically wound around this central reinforcing core, ensuring the cable’s shape & integrity.

Gaps within the cable core are meticulously filled with a water-blocking filler, effectively shielding the optical fibers from moisture.

Furthermore, a longitudinally applied corrugated plastic-coated steel tape (PSP) enhances the cable’s resilience against external forces & environmental conditions. The cable is then enclosed with a polyethylene sheath, adding an extra layer of protection and insulation.

To bolster defense against rodent damage, an anti-rodent glass yarn is longitudinally wrapped around the cable. This protective element is expertly extruded into a cable with a durable polyethylene sheath, providing an additional shield against external factors that could compromise the cable’s integrity.

Structure Design

Central strength member (CSM): FRP rod

Fiber 12-288F ITU-T G652D (A1 & A2 Glass options are available)

Enclosed in a water-resistant filling within loose tubes, while the loose tubes are SZ-stranded around CSM

Longitudinal water tightness: dry core with water swellable yarns

Highlights

Rodent-resistant

Glass-roving reinforcement and fiber glass yarn sheathing.

Robust Design

Non-metallic strength members and layered structure ensure excellent mechanical and temperature properties.

Effective Waterproofing

Cable core is loaded with water-blocking ointment for superior waterproofing.

Minimal Maintenance

Non-metallic construction minimizes maintenance.
