Crude optical cable sheath material

Home / Crude optical cable sheath material

In FTTH and FTTx networks, cable sheath material is often treated as a secondary specification. Fiber optic cables are designed to provide high-speed, no-signal-loss, and EMI-free communication in telecommunication, powergrid, datacenter, broadband, and industrial applications. Three main choices are available: cost-effective PVC, LSZH (compliant with regulations), and TPU (for extreme. The sheath or outer sheath is the outermost protective layer in the optical cable structure, mainly made of PE sheath material and PVC sheath material, and halogen-free flame-retardant sheath material and electric tracking resistant sheath material are used in special occasions.
