SWA steel wire armor fiber optic cable

SWA fiber optic cable is built with steel wire armor to provide maximum resistance against mechanical impact, rodents, and external pressure. It ensures stable and long-distance optical transmission while offering waterproofing and UV resistance, making it suitable for underground, industrial, and outdoor installations.

1. Structure & Design

• Stranded Loose Tube Construction: Protects fibers from mechanical stress and environmental factors.
• Steel Wire Armor (SWA): Provides high mechanical strength and rodent resistance.
• Water-Blocking Elements: Includes water-blocking yarns and gel-filled tubes for moisture resistance.
• UV-Resistant Polyethylene (PE) Outer Jacket: Protects against weather and environmental exposure.
• High Tensile Strength: Suitable for installations requiring robust mechanical support.

2. Applications

• Direct Burial Installations: Designed for underground fiber deployment with heavy-duty protection.
• Industrial Networks: Ideal for factories, oil & gas fields, and mining areas.
• Railways and Power Grids: Used for optical communication in high-risk environments.
• Harsh Outdoor Environments: Suitable for areas exposed to mechanical stress and rodent threats.

3. Advantages

• Maximum Mechanical Protection: SWA provides superior crush and impact resistance.
• Rodent and Pest Resistance: Steel armor prevents damage from rodents and burrowing animals.
• Moisture and Water Resistance: Water-blocking elements prevent fiber degradation.
• Weatherproof and UV Resistant: Ensures long-term durability in extreme outdoor conditions.
• Long-Distance Optical Performance: Supports high-speed data transmission with minimal loss.

4. FAQs

• Is SWA fiber optic cable suitable for direct burial?
  Yes, its steel wire armor provides excellent protection for underground installations.
• Can this cable be used in industrial environments?
  Yes, it is designed to withstand mechanical stress, heavy loads, and harsh conditions.
• What fiber types are available for this cable?
  It can be customized with single-mode (SM) or multi-mode (MM) fiber.
• Does this cable provide rodent protection?
  Yes, the steel wire armor acts as a barrier against rodents and pests.
• How does this compare to steel tape armored cables?
  SWA cables offer higher mechanical strength and rodent resistance, while steel tape armored cables provide lighter protection for less demanding environments.
