The stranded non-metallic air-blowing micro cable from Orientalfiber factory is made of a 250μm single-mode or multi-mode optical fiber sheathed in a loose tube made of high modulus material, and the tube is filled with non-toxic and harmless waterproof compounds. The center of the cable core is a non-metallic reinforcing core (FRP), and the loose tube (or filling rope) is twisted around the central reinforcing core to form a compact round cable core. A layer of water-blocking yarn is added to the reinforcing core, and then a black or colored high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath is extruded to form a cable.
For professional network integrators and telecom operators, the efficiency of fiber optic deployment relies heavily on cable density and installation speed. Leveraging the robust manufacturing capabilities of Jiangsu Xuben Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd., Orientalfiber offers the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable—specifically designed for high-density air-blown environments.
I. Core Architecture: Engineered for Long-Distance Air-Blowing
The design of the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable takes into full account the mechanical stresses encountered during the high-pressure air-blowing process, ensuring that it maintains superior performance even within complex duct environments.
Loose Tube Technology: The optical fibers are housed within loose tubes constructed from high-modulus materials. These tubes are filled with a non-toxic, harmless water-blocking compound, effectively preventing micro-bending losses and sealing out moisture.
Non-metallic Strength Member: A central FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength member is employed; while providing the necessary tensile strength, it completely eliminates safety hazards associated with electromagnetic induction.
2. Multiple Protective Layers
The cable core is wrapped with a layer of water-blocking yarn to prevent longitudinal moisture ingress. The outer layer consists of an extruded black or colored High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) jacket. This jacket features an extremely low coefficient of friction—a critical technical parameter for achieving greater air-blowing distances within micro-ducts.
Procurement Value: Why Choose the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable?
When sourcing the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable for large-scale infrastructure, procurement officers and engineers benefit from specific technical advantages that reduce long-term operational costs (OPEX):
Electromagnetic Immunity: The completely non-metallic design prevents radio frequency interference (RFI) and electromagnetic wave interference. This makes the cable safe for installation alongside high-voltage power lines or in railway environments.
Optimized Space Utilization: Featuring a small diameter and lightweight construction, it allows for "pay-as-you-grow" strategies where multiple cables can be blown into a single micro-duct over time.
Thermal Stability: The tight cable core structure is specifically engineered to prevent the loose tubes from shrinking under varying temperature cycles, ensuring consistent performance in diverse climates.
Superior Blowing Performance: The HDPE sheath and balanced stiffness allow for longer blowing spans, reducing the number of required handholes and splice points.
Versatile Applications across Global Industries
The Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable is a versatile asset for various network architectures:
Backbone and Access Networks
Designed for high-speed data transmission in core networks and FTTH (Fiber to the Home) rollouts where speed of deployment is a priority.
Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)
Perfect for urban environments where traditional duct space is exhausted. The small footprint of the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable facilitates easy upgrades.
Industrial and Infrastructure Projects
Widely deployed in highways, rail transit communication systems, and smart grid monitoring due to its robust environmental resistance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What makes the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable different from traditional outdoor cables?
A: The main difference lies in the diameter and sheath friction. This micro cable is significantly thinner and uses a specialized HDPE jacket designed to glide through micro-ducts using compressed air, whereas traditional cables are usually pulled by hand or winch.
Q: Is the non-metallic structure durable enough for harsh environments?
A: Yes. The FRP strength member in the Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable provides high tensile strength without the weight or conductivity of steel, making it durable and resistant to lightning strikes.
Q: Can this cable be used for both single-mode and multi-mode requirements?
A: Absolutely. We can customize the fiber type within the tubes to meet specific network speeds and distance requirements.
Q: How does Orientalfiber ensure quality across such high production volumes?
A: Every meter of our Stranded Non-metallic Air-blowing Micro Cable undergoes rigorous testing in our ISO-certified facilities to ensure compliance with international telecommunication standards before shipment.
