Enhanced Buffering Process For Totally Dry Cable

摘要

It is possible to achieve optimized balance between the maximum fiber content and the minimum tube dimensions with the chemical surface treatment of the inner tube wall combined with clinching technology. This article shows how to manufacture entirely dry sub-units for stranded loose tube cables. The prevention of water penetration is based on water blocking yarn technology. The traditional way of preventing water penetration is to fill the tubes with filling compound. The messy filling compound is replaced with water blocking yarns therefore dry loose tube cables can reduce fiber installation costs in two ways. It simplifies the splice preparation and cleanup of the fibers.
