Steel Wire Armoured Fibre Optic Cable

Fibre optic cabling is becoming an increasingly popular choice for data transmission providing very high data rates over greater bandwidths compared to traditional copper cabling.

Steel wire armoured fibre optic cable.

This cable meets the requirements of the low voltage directive 2014 35 eu and the rohs directive 2011 65 eu. Available as om1 om3 om4 multimode fibre cables or os2 singlemode fibre cable loose tube or tight buffered either unarmoured or with a steel tape armour. Cable core fully filled with jelly pe coated aluminium foil as moisture barrier uv stablized pe inner sheath black galvanised steel wire armour wrapped with polyester tape. Rohs compliance has been tested and.

Afl s high strength steel wire hssw armored fiber optic cable provides the reliability needed for network backbones in harsh environment conditions. Designed for installation in areas where mechanical impact is expected. 2 4 6 8 12 fibre per tube combinations are available in 5 6 8 12 element constructions loose buffer tubes fully filled s z stranded. Steel wire armoured the swa pre terminated cables have an internal cable with a gel filled central tube which protects the fibres and also offers protection against water ingress ontop of this cable is a steel wire protection layer beneth the outer cable jacket.

With a near ten fold improvement in tensile performance a two fold improvement in crush resistance and a three fold improvement in impact energy. Armored fiber cable is made with interlocking aluminum that s wrapped around the cable protecting it in high traffic areas. The high strength galvanized plow steel armor is enhanced and offers a significant improvement in mechanical performance as compared to traditional steel tape armored cables. Armored fiber optic cable is designed in various options.

Draka fibre bendbright technology enables enhanced bending performance while maintaining performance reducing installation and labour costs. The gsw provides mechanical and rodent protection. Lastly the armor is highly flexible. This armoured optical cable is designed for external underground installations.
