Figure 8 Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Description
Ingo provides figure 8 armored fiber optic cables with a central tube bundle sheathed into a Y or S shape. This fiber operatic cable is most often used in self-supporting aerial laying. The structure combines with fiber optics with a diameter of 250μm inside the loose tube made of highly modulus materials. The loose tube is filled with a waterproof compound, and at the center of the cable core is a metallic strengthening core. The loose tube strands and the central strength member form a compact and round cable core. After being longitudinally wrapped by a layer of APL, the cable core is integrated into a figure 8 PVC jacket with steel wires.

Features The steel wires have an extremely high tensile strength that is convenient for self-supporting aerial laying. The figure 8 armored fiber optic cable has a great mechanical behavior and temperature characteristics. The loose tube materials feature a great hydrolysis resistance and relatively high strength. A special grease fills the loose tube in order to offer critical protection for the fiber optic.

Use the following measures to ensure the waterproof performance of the optical cables

Using the single steel wire as central strength member. Filling up the loose tube with special waterproof compound. 100% cable core filling Using APL as moisture barrier.
