Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable

Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable
Details:
The optical cable has an "8" shape overall structure, divided into three parts: the cable, the sling, and the optical fiber. The cable portion consists of loose tube optical fibers and a central strength member, with the loose tubes filled with waterproof gel to ensure fiber stability and low attenuation in various environments. The sling section typically uses stranded steel wires to provide the necessary mechanical strength and tensile capacity. The cable core after the cable reinforcement and the longitudinal aluminum tape (steel tape/none) is a co-extruded polyethylene sheath for comprehensive protection.

FAQ
 

 

Q: What is the use of the steel wire of the figure 8 optical cable?

A: The steel wire in a Figure 8 fiber optic cable provides support and enhances its tensile strength during aerial installation. It prevents sagging and excessive stretching, maintaining optimal performance.

Q: What is Aerial Installation?

A: Aerial installation is a method of installing fiber optic cable by suspending it from poles or other overhead structures.
This type of installation is commonly used in areas where it is not feasible to bury the cable underground, such as in mountainous or urban areas.
The cable is then typically strung between poles or other structures using specialized equipment, such as a bucket truck or a helicopter.

Q: Can I customize a special structure of aerial cables?

A: Yes. We will have a dedicated process engineer to interface with you to understand the specific situation and give our production advice.

Q: How do you ensure that the performance of the aerial fiber cable is reliable?

A: We have a dedicated laboratory for tests such as high temperatures, flattening, and water infiltration.
