6 Core Armored Figure 8 Aerial Stranded Steel Wire Fiber Optic Cable
Description
In the cable construction, the fibers are housed within a loose tube made of high modulus plastic, filled with a
water-resistant compound. A central steel wire acts as the metallic strength member in the core. The tubes,
along with fillers, are stranded around the strength member, forming a compact and circular cable core. Follo-
wing this, a Polyethylene (PE) sheath is applied around the cable core, and, accompanied by stranded wires
serving as support, this part of the cable is completed with a Polyethylene (PE) sheath to create a figure 8 str-
ucture. This cable design is specifically intended for self-supporting aerial installations.
Application
* Suitable for Aerial and Pipeline Laying Methods: Designed for effective deployment using both aerial and
pipeline laying methods, providing versatility in installation.
* Adopted for Outdoor Distribution: Tailored for outdoor distribution scenarios, ensuring resilience and perf-
ormance in various environmental conditions.
* Ideal for Long-Distance and Local Area Network Communication: Well-suited for both long-distance and
local area network communication, offering reliable connectivity for diverse communication needs.
Characteristics
* Good Mechanical and Temperature Performance: Demonstrates reliable mechanical strength and temperature
resistance, ensuring durability under various conditions.
* High Strength Loose Tube with Hydrolysis Resistance: Utilizes a high-strength loose tube designed to resist
hydrolysis, enhancing longevity and performance.
* Special Tube Filling Compound for Fiber Protection: Incorporates a specialized tube filling compound that
provides critical protection to the fibers, ensuring their safety and performance.
* Crush Resistance and Flexibility: Exhibits crush resistance while maintaining flexibility, allowing for versa-
tility in installation and protection against external pressures.
* PE Sheath for UV Radiation Protection: The Polyethylene (PE) sheath acts as a protective layer, shielding
the cable from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
