Description of flame retardant steel wire armored fiber optic cable

The flame retardant steel wire armored fiber optic cable uses a 250μm optical fiber in the loose tube of a high modulus material, and fills the remaining space in the tube with a waterproof compound.

A metal strength member is used as the core. For optical cables with a different core, a polyethylene layer should be extruded out of the metal strength member.

The loose tubes (with filler strip) are stranded around the strength member into a compact cable core which is then filled with the filling compound to protect it from water. The PSP tape, stranded with an armored wire, serves as a flame retardant sheathe.
