Optic Cable
Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP)
Fiber Optic Cable
Armored
The cable’s composition consists of several key components. A 250μm optical fiber is securely housed within a high modulus loose tube, further reinforced with a waterproof compound for environmental protection.
At the cable’s core is a non-metallic FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) central core, providing structural stability.
To create a compact, rounded cable core, the loose tube & filler rope are carefully twisted around the central reinforcing core, ensuring the cable’s shape & integrity.
Gaps within the cable core are diligently filled with a water-blocking filler, safeguarding the optical fibers from moisture.
Additionally, a longitudinally applied corrugated plastic-coated steel tape (PSP) enhances the cable’s resistance to external forces & environmental conditions. The cable is sealed with a polyethylene sheath, adding further protection and insulation.
