Anti-rodent cable, also known as rodent-resistant cable, is a specialized cable designed to prevent damage from rodents, insects, and other small animals.
This type of cable enhances mechanical strength and bite resistance through the use of special jacket materials and structural designs. The outer covering of anti-rodent cables is typically made from materials like special polyester, glass fibers, and PE, which have strong bite-resistant properties and can effectively withstand rodent gnawing.
The structural design of these cables is also reinforced, often using stainless steel tape armor or glass fiber armor, further enhancing their bite resistance and mechanical strength. Anti-rodent cables feature a full-section water-blocking structure to ensure excellent water resistance, preventing moisture from penetrating and damaging the cable. The loose tubes within the cable are filled with a special grease to provide critical protection for the optical fibers, improving the cable's transmission performance and lifespan.
Anti-rodent cables can operate stably in various harsh environments, including high temperatures, low temperatures, and humid conditions, ensuring reliable performance. They typically have a long service life, often exceeding 25 years, reducing the frequency and cost of cable replacements. Underground pipelines often traverse diverse terrains such as cities, farmlands, and forests, creating complex and variable environments that can easily become habitats for rodents. The use of anti-rodent cables in underground pipelines can effectively prevent rodent damage, ensuring the stable transmission of communication signals. Communication base stations and data centers, often located outdoors or indoors with dense equipment and complex cabling, are frequent targets for rodent attacks. The introduction of anti-rodent cables helps maintain the stability and reliability of communication equipment, ensuring secure data transmission. In rural and outdoor environments, where rodent activity is frequent, anti-rodent cables are essential for maintaining uninterrupted communication lines.
