LOOSE TUBE VS. TIGHT BUFFERED FIBER CHOOSING THE RIGHT

Central loose tube type fiber optic ribbon cable

Central loose tube type fiber optic ribbon cable

Central loose tube cable contains one tube with 12 fiber ribbons, which is filled with water blocking gel. Either aramid yarn or fiber glass is wound around the tube to provide physical protection and tensile strength. Ribbon cables offer higher fiber counts and greater fiber density than any other cable construction designed for the outside plant (OSP), four times the highest-fiber-count loose tube cable.

Aerospace Electronic Fiber Braided Tube IK10

Aerospace Electronic Fiber Braided Tube IK10

It achieves greater than 90% optical coverage and meets rigorous qualification standards such as RTCA DO-160 for lightning protection, MIL-STD-810 environmental testing, ASTM requirements, and FAA flammability as well as smoke and toxicity criteria. From high-temperature fiberglass tubular shielding for engine applications to ultra-lightweight EMI/RFI braided shielding for electrical wire interconnect grounding applications, Glenair offers the industry's most innovative range of solutions. ARACON® fiber from Micro-Coax was developed to address these evolving challenges. Flexo Shield is an expandable, high performance sleeving that provides a high level of EMI (ElectroMagnetic Interference) shielding. With its high temperature aramid fiber core and special construction, Flexo Shield. The Aerospace & Defense industries have always been the main drivers for RFI/EMI shielding design and products. Achieving EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) in this sector is safety critical, whereas in everyday life it can just be a frustrating nuisance. Our FITCOFLEX® braided sleeving is a monofilament-based braided hose and is used to protect cables, wires, hoses, and pipes from extreme mechanical and thermal stresses.
