Flat Drop Cable is a multi-layer structure of fiber optic cable, usually consists of optical fibers, reinforcement, insulation, sheath and skin. The skin is the outer layer of the cable that protects the cable.
If the protective layer of Flat Drop Cable is damaged, it may cause the following effects on the fiber optic cable:
1. Reduced tensile strength: the skin cable is the outer protective layer of the fiber optic cable, taking on the important task of protecting the cable. If the skin wire is damaged, it will cause the tensile strength of Flat Drop Cable to decrease, and it will be easy to break or be damaged during use.
2. Damage to the insulating layer of the fiber optic cable: damage to the skin cable may lead to damage to the insulating layer of the fiber optic cable, which in turn affects the transmission performance and signal quality of the cable.
3. Affecting the waterproof of the cable: the skin cable is usually made of waterproof material, if the skin cable is damaged, it may affect the waterproof performance of the fiber optic cable, which in turn affects the service life of the fiber optic cable.
Therefore, in order to ensure the stability and reliability of Flat Drop Cable, it is recommended to carry out regular inspection and maintenance of its protective layer, and repair and replace the damaged parts in time.
