Tensile Characteristics of Optical Cables
Tensile strength tells you how much pulling force a fiber optic cable can handle before it breaks. This document outlines the specifications for a single-mode optical fiber and cable designed for use around the 1310 nm zero-dispersion wavelength, suitable for both the 1310 nm and 1550 nm regions, and compatible with analogue and digital transmission. The outer sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather resistant material which is SHF1 classified, and may be exposed for shorter periods to fluids such as diese and mineral oils. Fiber optic cables have emerged as the backbone of modern telecommunications infrastructure, enabling high-speed data transmission across vast distances.
