What are the advantages of armored fiber optic jumpers

What are the advantages of armored fiber optic jumpers? What is an armored jumper? Let’s take a look below. Armored jumper is a new type of fiber optic jumper. A layer of stainless steel sleeve is specially designed to protect the fiber. It has the advantages and functions of standard fiber jumper, but at the same time has the durability of armor. .

The structure of the armored jumper

Armored optical fiber jumper refers to adding a layer of micro-caliber stainless steel sheath tube to the optical fiber, and then wrapping the bare optical fiber with a layer of aramid yarn and helical stainless steel armor.

What is an armored fiber optic jumper and its characteristics?

Ordinary fiber optic cable VS armored fiber optic cable

A layer of micro-diameter spiral stainless steel sheath tube is mainly added outside the optical fiber, which not only enhances the pressure resistance, but also ensures the same flexibility as the standard optical fiber jumper and various superior optical properties of the optical fiber itself. The micro-caliber stainless steel hose acts as the protective layer closest to the optical fiber, which can prevent damage caused by mechanical force.

High-strength aramid fiber reinforcement ensures that the optical fiber has no tensile strain. The outer diameter of the standard optical cable is suitable for the application of various connector parts. It adopts flame-retardant, environmentally friendly, or high-temperature-resistant optical cable coating materials, and the outer diameter is small. , light weight, good bending performance and high flexibility.

Some armored jumpers also use high-strength PVC as the surface material, which is flame retardant, chemically resistant, tear-resistant, and also increases the softness and elasticity of the armored fiber optic jumper.

Features of armored jumper

Armored optical fiber jumper has the characteristics of high strength, tensile strength, compression resistance, rat bite resistance, and is not easily damaged by trampling. The armored jumper can be laid directly outdoors and in various harsh environments without using a protective sleeve. The bending degree and diameter of the optical cable are not greatly limited, which greatly saves space and increases the simplicity of construction and deployment. , reducing the construction cost. Although armored fiber optic cable is strong, it is actually as flexible as a standard fiber optic patch cable and can be bent at will without breaking.

Armored fiber optic patch cords can have terminal interface types such as SC, ST, FC, LC, and MU. It can be applied to complex environments such as building wiring, optical connection of equipment in key computer rooms, field operations, sensor detection, fiber-optic entry, and backbone network wiring. The stainless steel sheath tube can protect the fiber optic jumper from being squeezed and prevent rodents from penetrating.
