Self-supporting Bow-type Fiber Optic Drop Cable

The Self-supporting Bow-type Fiber Optic Drop Cable features a central optical fiber unit protected by two parallel FRP or metal reinforcement members. A single steel wire is added externally to enhance tensile strength, allowing the cable to be self-supporting in aerial installations. The novel bow-type design reduces weight while maintaining mechanical strength. Its simple structure allows for easy stripping, splicing, and maintenance.

Core Features

• Two parallel FRP or metal strength members provide excellent crush resistance.
• Single steel wire reinforcement enhances tensile strength for overhead use.
• Simple, practical structure for easy installation and maintenance.
• Novel bow-type design simplifies stripping and splicing processes.
• LSZH sheath ensures flame retardancy, low smoke, and environmental safety.
