Optic Series
Messenger wires
Introduction PE Sheath
The fibers are placed in a loose tube made of PBT. The tubes
are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire PSP
locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. The Water blocking tape
tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into Fiber
a compact and circular cable core. After PSP is applied around Loose Tube
the cable core , this part of cable accompanied with the stranded Tube Filling Compound
wires as the supporting part are completed with a PE sheath to FRP Strength Member
be figure 8 structure. This kind of cable is specifically applied for Ripcord
self-supporting aerial installation.
