  • What are the common materials used for installing cable trays

    What are the common materials used for installing cable trays

    Common cable trays are made of galvanized,, aluminum, or glass-fiber reinforced plastic. The material for a given application is chosen based on where it will be used. Galvanized tray may be made of pre-galvanized steel sheet fabricated into tray, or may be hot-dip galvanized after fabrication. When galvanized tray is cut to length in the field, usually the cut surface will be painted with a zinc-rich compound to protect the metal from corrosion.


  • Optical cable sheath extrusion shrinkage

    Optical cable sheath extrusion shrinkage

    Post extrusion shrinkage of jackets or buffer tubes used in FOCs can lead to Excess Fiber Length (EFL), which is described as the ratio of fiber length to actual tube length. EFL can introduce stress on the optical fibers resulting in signal loss. The sheath material contains the following components in parts by weight: 20-50 parts of high density polyethylene (HDPE), 20-30 parts of low density. The present invention relates to manufacture of loose tubes for fiberoptic cables, post extrusion shrinkage, and more particularly but not exclusively, to a way of mitigating or overcoming the effects of post extrusion shrinkage (PES) in loose tube fiber optic cables. Loose tube fiber. The results showed that the primary limiting factors for line speed increase were the melt pressure and jacket tensile performance, but neither the shrinkage nor extruder motor load. There are many types of defects, and common cable surface defects include pores, pinholes, bubbles, etc. They will have a certain impact on the insulation performance, mechanical.
