Features of Amored Optical Fiber Cable

Enhanced mechanical protection:

Armored optical cables usually contain one or more layers of metal braids, steel wire braids or metal tapes, which can provide additional mechanical protection to prevent external forces (such as digging, squeezing) from damaging the optical fiber.

Tensile strength:

The addition of the armor layer gives the optical cable a higher tensile strength, which can withstand greater tension during the laying process and reduce the risk of optical fiber breakage caused by external forces.

Waterproof and moisture-proof:

Armored optical cables usually also have good waterproof and moisture-proof properties, which can prevent moisture from invading the inside of the optical fiber and affecting the signal transmission quality. This makes armored optical cables particularly suitable for direct burial or underwater applications.

Weather resistance:

The outer layer material of the armored optical cable usually has good weather resistance, which can resist harsh environmental conditions such as ultraviolet radiation, high and low temperature changes, and extend the service life of the optical cable.

Flame retardancy:

Some armored optical cables also have flame retardant properties, which can slow down the spread of flames in the event of a fire and improve safety.

Flexibility: 

Despite the addition of an armor layer, modern armored optical cable designs are able to maintain a certain degree of flexibility, making it less likely for the cable to break when it is bent and laid.
