3; Stranded Loose Tube Armored Cable
The fibers, 250µm, are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire, sometimes sheathed with polyethylene (PE) for cable with high fiber count, locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. Tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. The cable core is filled with the filling compound to protect it from water ingress, over which a thin PE inner sheath is applied. After the PSP is longitudinally applied over the inner sheath, the cable is completed with a PE outer sheath.
Characteristics:
1; Good mechanical and temperature performance;
2; High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant;
3; Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber;
4; Crush resistance and flexibility;
5; The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight:
A; Steel wire used as the central strength member;
B; Loose tube filling compound;
C; 100% cable core filling;
D; PSP enhancing moisture-proof;
E; Water-blocking material;
