Aluminum Armored Fiber Optic Cable Stranded Armored Fiber Cable
Aluminum Armored Fiber Optic Cable, Stranded Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable Application
Aluminum armored fiber optic cable, stranded loose tube fiber optic cable is mainly used for outdoor fiber connection as well as building backbone conduit and link bridge connection.
Inside the optical fiber aluminum armored cable, 250µm (singlemode or multimode) fibers are positioned in loose tubes made of high modulus polyester material, filled with water-resistant compounds. The optical fiber cable is centered by a metal strength member. For some optical fiber cables with multiple cores, a PE layer should be added outside. Loose tubes (and the fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core inside which is filled with water-resistant components. APL armor is longitudinally applied before a polyethylene (PE) jacket is extruded over it.
Product Features
- Stranded structure is designed for excellent mechanical performance and temperature performance;
- The cable has 62.5/125 singlemode/multimode, 50/125 multimode, 4-192 cores, and many other specifications available;
- The loose tube material has good resistance to hydrolysis performance and high strength;
- The loose tube is identified by color for fast and correct construction;
- Compact structure is required to prevent contraction of the loose tube;
- There is a central strength member made of a single steel wire;
- Its outer jacket is made of aluminum-PE material;
- It provides a high crush resistance coupled with excellent bending performance so as to avoid the impact from the outside environments;
- The cable meets the industry-regulated requirements of optical transmission, mechanical protection and flammability.
