What is tensile strength in optical cables

Home / What is tensile strength in optical cables

For fiber optic cable, the tensile strength of a cable represents the highest load or pulling force that can be placed upon any cable before any damage occurs to the fibers or their optical properties and characteristics. Tensile strength measures the maximum pulling force a fiber optic cable can withstand before breaking. Coaxial cable is designed to withstand greater physical stress and is often used in applications where durability and ruggedness are important factors. Traditional installations in controlled environments have given way to harsh outdoor conditions, underwater.
