The structure of uni-tube non-metallic 73 sheath light-weight lighting anti-rodent fiber optic cable is to put single-mode optical fiber or multi-mode optical fiber into a loose tube made of high modulus polyester material, and the tube is filled with waterproof compound. Water-blocking material is added to the loose tube to ensure the waterproof performance of the optical cable. The loose tube is wrapped with FRP rod, and a layer of polyethylene inner sheath is extruded on the cable core. After the FRP belt is longitudinally wrapped, a polyethylene outer sheath is extruded to form a cable.
Our high quality Uni-tube Non-metallic 73 Sheath Light-weight Lighting Anti-rodent Fiber Optic Cable are all made in China. Orientalfiber is a professional the Uni-tube Non-metallic 73 Sheath Light-weight Lighting Anti-rodent Fiber Optic Cable manufacturer and supplier in China. You can buy them from our factory.

The Uni-tube Non-metallic 73 Sheath Light-weight Lighting Anti-rodent Fiber Optic Cable from Orientalfiber integrates single-mode or multi-mode optical fibers into a high-modulus polyester loose tube filled with a water-blocking compound. The loose tube is reinforced with FRP rods and wrapped with polyethylene inner and outer sheaths. This construction provides mechanical reliability, flexibility, and excellent protection against environmental factors, including rodents and UV exposure.
By combining lightweight design with robust mechanical and thermal properties, this cable supports long-term installations in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its small diameter and flexible structure make it easier to handle and deploy compared to standard armored cables.
