Introduction

Armored fiber optic cables are designed to withstand environmental and mechanical stresses better than standard fiber optic cables. They include an additional protective layer that safeguards the optical fibers within, enhancing their durability and performance in harsh environments.

Components of Armored Fiber Optic Cable

An armored fiber optic cable consists of several key components:

• Optical Fibers: The core component for data transmission.
• Buffer Tube: Protects fibers from physical damage.
• Strength Member: Provides tensile strength to the cable.
• Armor Layer: Typically made of corrugated steel tape or aluminum, providing mechanical protection.
• Outer Jacket: Safeguards against environmental damage.

Types of Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Armored fiber optic cables are categorized based on their armor type and application needs:

• Single Armor: Features one layer of protective steel wire or tape. Used in moderate risk environments.
• Double Armor: Includes two layers for enhanced protection. Suitable for high-risk mechanical environments.
• Interlocking Armor: Utilizes an interlocking design for flexibility and easy installation.

Advantages of Armored Fiber Optic Cable

Key advantages of armored fiber optic cables include:

• Robust mechanical protection against cutting and crushing forces.
• Resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
• Increased security due to the difficulty of tampering with the armored layer.
• Enhanced lifespan and reliability, reducing maintenance costs.

Applications

Armored fiber optic cables are utilized in various industries including:

• Telecommunications infrastructure in urban and rural areas.
• Industrial networks where cables are laid in harsh conditions.
• Data centers requiring high security and reliability.
