PE Optical Cable Sheath Strength Requirements
Home / PE Optical Cable Sheath Strength Requirements
The compressive strength of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath is above 25MPa, which is suitable for direct burial, overhead and other laying environments. What Is a Cable Sheath and Why It Matters 🔍 The cable sheath is the outer protective layer of a fiber optic cable. As the first line of defense for cables, it can effectively resist external factors such as moisture. This Cable Jacket Selection Note is intended to provide the reader with an organized selection methodology when selecting the optimum optical cable for a specific application. Sheath issues discussed: single jacket versus dual jacket, armored versus unarmored, and metallic versus dielectric. PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) – as a sheath material, PVC is used extensively because of its low cost and good overall properties – high physical strength, good moisture resistance, adequate oil resistance, good flame resistance and excellent resistance to weathering and to soil environments.
