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.
