It is a kind of self-supporting optical cable for laying in storm sewers. Optical fibres are housed in loose tubes that are made of high-modulus plastic and filled with tube filling compound. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around a metallic central strength member to form a cable core. The core is filled with water blocking compound and armored with laminated aluminum tape . Then a PE inner sheath is extruded and aramid yarns are placed outside the inner sheath as the strength member, Finally, a PE outer sheath is extruded.
• Accurate process control ensuring good mechanical and temperature performances
• The material of loose tubes with good hydrolysis resistance and relatively high strength
• Tube filling compound providing key protection for fibres
• Excellent crush resistance and flexibility
• Water resistance of optical cable is ensured by the following measures:
• Special water blocking compound filled in loose tubes
• Laminated aluminum tape armor
• Cable filling compound ensuring longitudinal water resistance
1. Xn refers to fibre type. For details, see naming rules for optical cables of YOFC.
2. For color arrangement of fibres and loose tubes, see the color sequence.
3. D is cable diameter.
Standard length: 2,000m; other lengths are also available.
