Armored fiber optic cable classification and detailed explanation

Optical fiber jumpers can be divided into common silicon-based optical fiber single-mode and multi-mode jumpers according to different transmission media, and other optical fiber jumpers such as plastics as transmission media;

According to the structure of the connector, it can be divided into: FC jumper, SC jumper, ST jumper, LC jumper, MTRJ jumper, MU jumper, E2000 jumper, DIN4 jumper, etc. various forms.

Single-mode fiber (Single-mode Fiber): Generally, the fiber optic jumper is indicated by yellow, and the connector and protective sleeve are blue; the transmission distance is longer.

Multi-mode Fiber (Multi-mode Fiber): Generally, fiber optic jumpers are represented by orange, and some are represented by gray, and the connectors and protective sleeves are beige or black; the transmission distance is relatively short.

The outer sheath material of the optical fiber jumper can be divided into PVC and LSZH (low-smoke zero-halogen type)

Armored fiber optic cable

Since the advent of optical fiber, due to the material of the optical fiber itself, the optical fiber used in various environments must be processed into an optical cable with corresponding mechanical properties to ensure the safety of the optical fiber during laying, installation, use, and maintenance. To ensure the smooth flow of the network. The optical fiber itself is a very weak link in terms of lateral pressure resistance and impact resistance. The existing outdoor optical cables and indoor optical cables that are widely used do not provide fundamental guarantees in terms of these performances in complex environments.

"Flexible metal armored optical fiber cable" is a helical stainless steel material that coats a layer of flat profile around the optical fiber through special processing technology and various specifications of tight-sleeved optical fiber. In addition to affecting the various superior optical properties of the optical fiber itself, it greatly improves the lateral pressure resistance of the optical fiber itself.

The test shows that the lateral pressure resistance of the flexible metal armored optical fiber increases with the decrease of the outer diameter of the armored tube, and the maximum value has reached the extreme value of the current conventional optical cable test equipment (8000N/10CM). The indoor and outdoor optical cables of various specifications processed by this special optical fiber cable can easily achieve the characteristics of small size, light weight, and superior environmental characteristics. It is the first choice for optical transmission used in complex environmental conditions such as building wiring, optical connection of key computer room equipment, field operations, sensor detection, fiber-to-the-home, and fiber-to-the-desktop.
