Polyethylene (PE) optical cable sheath material is an outer protective material designed for optical fiber cables, with excellent mechanical strength, weather resistance and insulation properties. GL FIBER here's a guide to help you choose the right outer sheath material: 1. Keep ambient or stray light from creating signal noise (for sensor applications). Glass fiber and plastic fiber is fragile. When individual fibers break, light transmission and uniformity. Molex corrugated steel tape (CST) armored cable is a rugged cable suitable for outdoor/external installations. The outer sheaths are used as the protective layer of the cables, which have the. Our Polyethylene (PE) compounds are versatile materials used extensively in cable sheathing applications, offering varying degrees of protection and performance depending on the specific formulation.
