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 armored with laminated aluminum tape. Then a LSZH inner sheath is extruded and armored with corrugated steel tape. Finally, a LSZH 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
• LSZH sheath ensuring good flame-retardant performance
• Excellent crush resistance
• Water resistance of optical cable is ensured by the following measures:
- Special water-blocking compound filled in loose tubes
- Laminated aluminum tape and steel tape armor
- Water-blocking material ensuring longitudinal water resistance
• Standard length: 2,000m; other lengths are also available.
