What is ADSS fiber optic cable ?

May 8, 2024

ADSS cables (All Dielectric Self-Supporting), also called all-dielectric self-supporting optical cables, are made from dielectric materials without any metallic components. They are composed of a bundle of optical fibers wound around a central reinforcing core, protected by insulation, a water-repellent coating, a reinforcement and a sheath. Self-supporting means the cable can support its own weight as well as external loads. These cables are mainly used in high voltage overhead electrical transmission systems and have features such as no metal, tensile strength, self-support, high insulation, an absence of induction, a thin waist, a lightness, ease of installation and economy.

What is OPPC fiber optic cable ?

L’OPPC (Opticalphase Conductor, or OPPC for short) is a new type of special fiber optic cable for power communication systems. This type of optical cable integrates an optical fiber unit into the traditional phase conductor structure. It fully utilizes the resources of the power system lines, in particular the electricity distribution system.

How many kilovolts represents a low voltage cable ?

May 7, 2024

Cables are classified as high voltage cables, high voltage cables, medium voltage cables and low voltage cables. Low voltage cables generally refer to cables with a voltage rating lower than 1 kv.

What is an armored cable ?

May 6, 2024

The armored cables are cables surrounded by a metal braid. This braid is generally in red copper or tinned copper. Cables of this type are very resistant to external electromagnetic interference.

Introduction to Armored Fiber Optic Cables

Armored fiber optic cable is a type of fiber optic cable. Armoring involves wrapping another layer of armor material on the outside of the optical fiber, to protect the optical cable from animal bites, moisture erosion or other damage. Protective layer of armor material helps improve pressure resistance, tensile strength and bite resistance of optical cable, so that the optical cable can be used normally even under unfavorable conditions, which meets customer's requirements for optical cable against rodent bites, humidity, erosion, etc. Due to their good mechanical resistance and electrical properties, their resistance to high pressure, as well as their strong anti-corrosion and anti-erosion capacity, Armored fiber optic cables have a wide range of applications in electric power fields, communications and railways, among others.

Protection of submarine cables

April 28, 2024

Submarine cables, which are electrical equipment, are cables wrapped in an insulating material. The submarine cables are placed on the seabed and are used for the transmission of electrical energy and long distances communications. Compared to land cables, submarine cables differ in their applications and installation methods, But essentially play the same role.

Fiber optic cable is a communications cable used to transmit optical signals. The fiber optic cable is made up of a number of optical fibers which form the core of the cable, The exterior sheath, and some are also covered with an outer sheath, in order to carry out the transmission of optical signals from a communication line. In other words, a fiber optic cable is a cable formed from optical fibers according to a certain process.

Do you know these types of optical fiber cables ?

April 24, 2024

With the arrival of the high -speed information era, Optical fiber cables, with their high speed characteristics, high capacity and low interference, are widely used in telecommunications, the Internet, broadcasting and television and many other areas, becoming an essential and important part of the field of modern communications.

Do you know PV cables and optical fiber cables ?

April 23, 2024

Fiber optic cables and photovoltaic cables, although they both belong to one type of cable, differ considerably in their definition, their use, their structure and transmission support. Photovoltaic cables and fiber optic cables are not the same thing.
