Special Materials for Optical Cable Protective Sheaths
The sheath or outer sheath is the outermost protective layer in the optical cable structure, mainly made of PE sheath material and PVC sheath material, and halogen-free flame-retardant sheath material and electric tracking resistant sheath material are used in. Sheathing has three core values for use in fiber optic design: Protect the fiber. Keep ambient or stray light from creating signal noise (for sensor applications). Many procurement decisions focus on fiber count, connector type, or price, while the outer jacket material is selected by default or copied from previous projects.
