China Suppliers Factory for Phosphating Steel Wire Used in Optical Cable Strengthening

China Suppliers Factory for Phosphating Steel Wire Used in Optical Cable Strengthening

The stiffener plays a crucial role in enhancing the tensile strength of optical cables. As a key strengthening component, steel wire is ideal due to its cost-effectiveness, efficient processing technology, and reliable performance standards that align with production requirements. Additionally, the steel wire used in optical fiber and cable is resistant to rust and does not contribute to hydrogen damage. As a leading China supplier and factory, we ensure that our products meet the highest quality standards for durability and performance in the optical cable industry

    Product Advantage

    The role of the stiffener is to enhance the tensile properties of the cable. Steel wire as a strengthening part, its cost, processing technology and performance indicators are easy to meet the production needs of optical cable. In addition, the steel wire of optical fiber and cable is not easy to rust and will not cause hydrogen damage. Fiber optic cable steel wire needs to be treated, the cost of stainless steel wire is higher, the zinc on the surface of galvanized steel wire is easy to react with acid in the oil paste resulting in the loss of hydrogen, so the general use of phosphating steel wire, which not only ensures the process requirements, but also reduces the cost.

    Product Features

    Cable strength member (phosphating steel wire) is pointed to the phosphating steel wire with brown surface. In the cable, it plays a part of support, tensile. After cabling, steel wire would not increase hydrogen loss, rust but high strength.

    The steel wire used in optic cable is galvanized or phosphating wire, and the plastic layer is evenly coated on the surface of the steel wire by extrusion process. After cabling, the adhesion of the wire and outer sheath is higher. It is widely used in the outdoor self-bearing fiber optic cable.

    Comprehensive performance: In addition to the steel wire high strength, high toughness, the coated steel wire has performance of decoration, electrical insulation and other comprehensive performance concurrently at the same time, because of the plastic coating layer with performance of acid, alkali, salt and other media corrosion ability.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    What is the role of the stiffener in the optical cable?
    The stiffener primarily enhances the tensile properties of the cable. It acts as a strengthening component that provides crucial support and ensures the cable can withstand pulling forces during installation and use.
    Why is phosphating steel wire preferred over galvanized steel wire?
    While galvanized wire is common, the zinc on its surface can react with acid in the oil paste, leading to hydrogen loss. Phosphating steel wire avoids this issue, ensures process requirements are met, and effectively reduces overall costs.
    Will the steel wire rust or cause hydrogen damage in the fiber optic cable?
    No, the specifically treated steel wire used in these optical fiber cables is highly resistant to rust and is designed not to cause hydrogen damage, ensuring long-term reliability.
    What are the benefits of the plastic coating on the steel wire?
    Applied evenly through an extrusion process, the plastic coating offers excellent electrical insulation and strong resistance to corrosion from acid, alkali, salt, and other media. It also improves adhesion between the wire and the outer sheath.
    Where are these coated steel wires most commonly used?
    Due to their high strength, toughness, and superior adhesion after cabling, these wires are widely used in outdoor self-bearing fiber optic cables.
