OMC's outdoor cable product is manufactured with the construction of stranded loose tube and central tube. The protection of the optical fibers and the property of cables are ensured by precious construct design, advanced process control and high quality material. OMC has the capacity to provide various type and high quality cables and we also specially design the cable structure for communication application.
Product details
The fibers, 250µm, are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire, sometimes sheathed with polyethylene (PE) for cable with high fiber count, locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. Tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. An Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) is applied around the cable core, which is filled with the filling compound to protect it from water ingress. Then, the cable is completed with a PE sheath.
Characteristics
Good mechanical and temperature performance
High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant
Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber
Specially designed compact structure is good at preventing loose tubes from shrinking
PE sheath protects cable from ultraviolet radiation
The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight:
Steel wire used as the central strength member
Loose tube filling compound
100% cable core filling
APL moisture barrier
Standards: IEC 60794-1.
