How To Buy Bulk Fiber Optic Cable

The structure of Bulk fiber optical cables has many important characteristics. The fiber cable construction needs to provide protection from outside environment during its installation and throught the fiber cable’s working life time.

They must provide mechanical protection for all the fibers inside the cable, at the same time, the cable has to be pretty easy to handle. Most the time, non-netallic strength members are needed to fully take advantage of fiber’s dielectric property.
Bulk fiber optical cables will experience tensile stress, abrasion, cutting, flexing, bending, crushing during the installation and its operation life. These mechanical stresses introduce macrobending, microbending, light signal loss attenuation. Because of manufacturing imperfectness, small surface defects often exist in the optical fibres. So in the real world, fibres tend to break at the cracks that begin from these surface defects under heavy tensile tension.

Bulk Fiber Optic Cable Structural Elements
Fiber optical cables can be divided into several main types. However, the basic elements in a fiber cable are a central strength member, be it metallic or non-metallic, strength members, water barrier, a fiber housing (loose tube), and cable sheaths. Fiber Armored cables also have aluminum or steel armors for rodent protection for direct burial.

A central strength member sits at the center of the cable, made of fiberglass most of the time. This central strength member provides rigidity to the optic cable, preventing the bulk fiber cable from being bent too sharply. It also provides the core ablut which the cable is bulit up.

In additioin to the central strength member, another layer of fiber like strength member is also used. They are made of Aramid yarn, Nylon yard, fiber glass epoxy rod or even steel. Aramid yarn is also called Kevlar, it has a high breaking strain and about fiber times stronger than steel. They provide low weight and all-dielectric construction.

Tyes of Bulk Fiber Optic Cable
Bulk fiber optical cables can be categotized into several magor types. That includes aerial cable, underground cable, subaqueous cables and more.

    Common Armored Fiber Optic Cables

      Armored fiber optic cables are often installed in a network for added mechanical protection, as they have extra reinforcing in the cable housing to prevent damage. Two types of armored fiber optic cables exist: interlocking and corrugated. Interlocking armor is an aluminum armor that is helically wrapped around the cable and found in indoor and indoor/outdoor cables. It offers ruggedness and superior crush resistance. Corrugated armor is a coated steel tape folded around the cable longitudinally. It is found in outdoor cables and offers extra mechanical and rodent protection.   The Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable In basic armored fiber cable designs, the outer sleeve provides protection against wind, solvents, and abrasion. This outer sleeve is usually made of plastic such as polyethylene. The next layer between the sleeve and the inner jacket is an armoring layer of materials that are difficult to cut, chew, or bu

    what the Differences Between FBT Splitter and PLC Splitter

      In FTTx and PON architectures, optical splitter plays an increasingly significant role to create a variety of point-to-multipoint fiber optic networks. But do you know what is a fiber optic splitter? In fact, a fiber optic splitter is a passive optical device that can split or separate an incident light beam into two or more light beams. Basically, there are two types of fiber splitter classified by their working principle: fused biconical taper splitter (FBT splitter) and planar lightwave circuit splitter (PLC splitter). You may have one question: what’s the difference between them and shall we use FBT or PLC splitter?   What Is FBT Splitter? FBT splitter is based on a traditional technology to weld several fiber together from side of the fiber. Fibers are aligned by heating for a specific location and length. Because the fused fibers are very fragile, they are protected by a glass tube made of epoxy and silica powder. And then a stainless steel tube covers the inner glass tu

    Introduction of Optical Fiber Couplers and How Do They Work?

     What are optical fiber couplers? A fiber optic coupler can be defined as an optical component used with one or more input fibers and several output fibers in fiber optic systems. A coupler essentially puts two or more cores of fibers together to connect. The simple coupler is the fused fiber 2x2 coupler. Couplers are used as multiplexers that are resistant to certain wavelengths. A fiber output depends on the wavelength of light and the frequency of polarization. The fiber refractive index also plays a significant role in the performance. Let’s checkout how do optic couplers work to understand this better. How do fiber optic couplers work? Either fiber optic couplers separate optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals in one direction. Optical signals are more complicated than electrical signals, making it more difficult to design optical couplers than their electrical copy. Unlike electrical currents, the optical signal consists of a stream of signal carriers, in
