Construction

Slotted Ribbon Type Fiber Optics Cable

1LAP sheath
2Water blocking tape
3Ripcord
4Ripcord
5Slotted core
6Center strength member(CSM)

Property

  • CSM: Could provide efficient tension for cable.(Option)
  • Galvanized steel wire

    FRP Rod (Non-metallic type for power line system)

  • PE Slotred Core: HD polyethylene extrusion.
  • Stranding: Accommodate the 4-fiber ribbons into grooves of slotted core.
  • Longitudinal Water Tightness: Water blocking tape be used, totally dry core enhance operation for splicing.
  • Ripcord: Aramid yarn thread for easily stripping of the sheath.
  • Outer Sheath: (Option)
  • LAP sheath: Laminated Aluminum sheath for moisture barrier

    Black polyethylene sheath
