Self supporting butterfly fiber optic cables are mainly used for fiber optic cable entry into households.
Self supporting butterfly fiber optic cable, also known as fiber optic cable or butterfly fiber optic cable, is a specially designed optical cable named after its cross-sectional shape resembling a butterfly. This type of optical cable is mainly used in FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks as a user introduction section, and is also suitable for user introduction sections in fiber access networks such as FTTO and FTTB. As a specific type of butterfly fiber optic cable, its design features make it particularly suitable for outdoor overhead applications. This type of optical cable can support itself without the need for additional support structures, simplifying the installation process and reducing costs. In specific applications, self-supporting butterfly fiber optic cables are mainly used to transmit optical signals from one place to another, especially in places that require crossing large spaces or are difficult to reach through traditional wiring methods. For example, in urban construction or rural environments, when it is necessary to connect optical cables from the ground to buildings or other communication facilities through overhead means, self-supporting butterfly cables have become an ideal choice. The characteristics of self-supporting butterfly fiber optic cable include good compressive and tensile properties, as well as an environmentally friendly low smoke halogen-free outer sheath, making its structure simple, lightweight, and practical. Its unique groove design is easy to peel off, convenient to connect, and simplifies the installation and maintenance process.
The application scenarios of this type of optical cable include but are not limited to:
Fiber optic entrance cable: As a key component for household or enterprise users to access fiber optic networks.
Self supporting overhead: suitable for overhead laying without additional support.
Indoor cable tray: suitable for indoor wiring, wiring is carried out through cable trays.
Indoor pipeline: suitable for wiring through indoor pipelines, suitable for environments with existing wiring pipelines.
