figure 8 optic cable

figure 8 optical cable is an outdoor self-supporting cable, named for its figure-eight structure, suitable for long-distance and inter-office communications. It is composed of fiber optic loose tubes and a metallic central strength member, with SZ layer-stranded cable cores filled with oil grease, double-sided plastic-coated steel tapes bonded to a PE sheath, and steel strands serving as self-supporting elements, meeting extremely high tensile strength requirements.

·Product features

• steel wire strand has extremely high tensile strength, which facilitates self-supporting overhead laying and reduces installation cost
• excellent mechanical properties and temperature characteristics
• the loose casing material itself has good water resistance and high strength

 • the tube is filled with special ointment, which provides critical protection for the optical fiber

• adopt the following measures to ensure the waterproof performance of optical cables

 • loose sleeve filled with special waterproof compounds
• full section filling of cable core

• double-sided coated plastic steel belt (PSP) moisture-proof layer
