Stranded Loose Tube Steel Wire Steel Tape Armored Fiber Optic Cable

This armored fiber optic cable is constructed with stranded loose tubes for fiber flexibility, steel tape armor for mechanical protection, and steel wire reinforcements for high tensile strength. It is engineered for use in outdoor telecom networks, backbone infrastructure, and industrial applications requiring superior resistance to environmental stress, rodents, and external impacts.

1. Structure & Design

• Stranded Loose Tube Design: Protects fibers from stress and allows flexibility.
• Steel Wire Strength Members: Enhances tensile strength for aerial and high-stress applications.
• Corrugated Steel Tape (CST) Armor: Provides excellent mechanical protection against crushing and impact.
• Water-Blocking Elements: Includes water-blocking yarns and gel-filled tubes for moisture resistance.
• Polyethylene (PE) Outer Jacket: UV-resistant and weatherproof for outdoor durability.
• High-Tensile Strength: Suitable for installations requiring high mechanical support.

2. Applications

• Direct Burial Installations: Designed for underground deployment with high mechanical protection.
• Aerial Installations: Suitable for overhead installations where high tensile strength is needed.
• Duct Installations: Can be pulled through conduits with protection against external pressure.
• Harsh Industrial Environments: Ideal for power grids, railway networks, and oil & gas infrastructure.

3. Advantages

• Superior Mechanical Protection: Dual armor (steel wire + steel tape) ensures high durability.
• High Tensile Strength: Ideal for long-span aerial installations and high-load applications.
• Rodent and Crush Resistance: Steel reinforcements provide excellent protection in rugged environments.
• Water and Moisture Resistant: Water-blocking materials ensure long-term performance.
• UV and Weather Resistant: PE outer jacket protects against sunlight, rain, and temperature fluctuations.

4. FAQs

• Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
