Description

The fibers, **0µm, are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) locates in the center of core as a non-metallic strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular core. An aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) is applied around the cable core. Then the cable core is covered with a thin polyethylene (PE) inner sheath, which is filled with jelly to protect it from water ingress. After a corrugated steel tape armor is applied, the cable is completed with a PE outer sheath.
Characteristics

• Good mechanical and temperature performance
• High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant
• Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber
• Crush resistance and flexibility
• The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight:
• Single Fiber Reinforced Plastic as the central strength member
• Loose tube filling compound
• **0% cable core filling
• APL moisture barrier
• PSP enhancing moisture-proof
• Water-blocking material
