High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE): Enhanced durability, good for buried or underwater cables. This article explains the differences between LSZH, HDPE, and LDPE cable sheaths, and how to select the right option based on real deployment conditions. Choosing the appropriate outer sheath material for fiber optic cables is crucial for ensuring the cable's durability, protection, and performance under specific environmental conditions. The sheath material contains the following components in parts by weight: 20-50 parts of high density polyethylene (HDPE), 20-30 parts of low density.
