Fiber optic cable sheath materials usually vary according to different application requirements and environmental conditions. The following are some common fiber optic cable sheath materials:
1. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): PVC is a common sheath material with good abrasion resistance and insulating properties.PVC sheaths are suitable for indoor environments such as offices, residential and commercial buildings.
2.LSZH (Low Smoke and Halogen Free): LSZH sheath material can reduce the release of smoke and hazardous gases in the event of a fire to improve the safety of personnel evacuation and equipment protection.LSZH sheath is suitable for indoor environments requiring limited smoke and no halogen, such as aviation cabins, subways, hospitals, etc.
3. PE (Polyethylene): PE is a weather resistant and UV resistant sheath material. PE sheaths are suitable for outdoor or buried applications and can provide good protection in harsh environmental conditions.
4. TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane): TPU sheaths have good flexibility and abrasion resistance, and are suitable for applications that require a high degree of flexibility and durability, such as mobile devices and robots.
5. Armored: Armored is a reinforced outer jacket, usually made of aluminum or steel. It provides additional protection, making fiber optic cables more durable and tensile resistant for applications that require extra mechanical strength and resistance to external damage, such as outdoor or industrial environments.
These are the common fiber optic cable outer jacket materials, each with its own specific characteristics and application scenarios. When choosing fiber optic cables, you need to consider the environmental conditions, application needs and safety requirements to choose the right outer jacket material.
