Fibre Reinforced Plastic Rod For Optical Fibre Cables
The FRP strength member for fiber optic cables is specifically designed for total insulated application. In shape of round rod or flat ribbon, the FRP strength member features perfect size stability and smooth surface. Long continuous length (50km) without splice greatly enhances continuous productivity in cabling operations.
The structural strength of optical cable is an important index of
the mechanical properties of optical cable. As one of the
structural components of fixed optical cable, the FRP reinforcing
core plays an important role in strengthening the tensile and
compressive capacity of optical cable.
FRP glass fiber reinforced core, as a kind of structural
strengthening element of non-metallic fiber optic cable, is widely
accepted and used by the fiber optic cable industry. It is a
non-metallic bearing core with good price and performance generally
recognized by the fiber optic cable industry at home and abroad. To
produce qualified FRP, the key lies in the reasonable selection of
reinforcement materials (glass fiber), base materials (resin) and
curing process.
