Fiber Optic Cable Raw Materials

Jacketing, strength member, water-blocking, and identification materials for fiber optic cable manufacturing.

Category 01

Product Overview — Fiber Optic Cable Raw Materials

Fiber optic cable is built up from a defined set of polymer, yarn, tape, and metallic components, each performing a specific role: PBT and HDPE/MDPE form the loose-tube and sheath structure, thixotropic jelly and water swellable yarn/tape provide water blocking, aramid and binder yarn give tensile strength, and steel tape or steel wire rope provide armoring and crush resistance. Identification and printing tape complete the cable for installation and maintenance.

Loose-tube and sheath materials: PBT (B-6550 LN), HDPE (6062), MDPE (6052)
Water-blocking materials: Thixotropic Jelly (OPW-280A), Water Swellable Yarn (WS-1), Water Swellable Tape (25 mm), Flooding Compound (DWS-350)
Strength & armoring materials: Aramid Yarn (1580 Dtex), Binder Yarn (1333), Steel Tape (37 mm), Steel Wire Rope/Single (0.9 mm x7)
Identification: Master Batch (Clariant), Identification Tape (Trans.), Printing Tape (White)
