Telecommunication fiber optic cable sheath
Optical fiber cables typically consist of the fiber core, cladding, coating, strengthening element, and outer sheath. The outer sheath acts as a protective layer, providing fire and moisture resistance. The sheathing process is where you apply the final touch to your loose tube fiber optic cable. In FTTH and FTTx networks, cable sheath material is often treated as a secondary specification. Whether you are designing and manufacturing a new cable or simply choosing an existing one for data, power, fiber optics, or industrial automation, the outer sheath (jacket) is much more than just a speaking cover to the eye; it is, in fact, an important job holder in mechanical protection. These compounds are designed to withstand environmental stressors, and heat deformation, and track.
