China Suppliers Factory KFRP Strength Member for Optical Cables - Lightweight, High Strength Reinforcement
Product Introduction
Optical cable reinforcement is an important component of optical cable, generally placed in the center of the optical cable, its role is to support the optical fiber unit or optical fiber bundle, improve the tensile strength of the optical cable. Traditional optical cables use metal reinforcements. Non-metal reinforcement parts with their own light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, long life advantages are more and more used in various optical cable.
KFRP fiber cable reinforcement core (aramid fiber) is a new type of high performance composite material, which is made by pultrusion process after mixing resin as matrix material and aramid fiber as reinforcement material. KFRP cable reinforcement core (aramid fiber) overcomes the defects of traditional metal cable reinforcement parts. In addition to excellent corrosion resistance, lightning resistance, electromagnetic field interference, and high tensile strength advantages, its flexibility is stronger than GFRP glass fiber reinforcement core. It is not easy to break, can better protect the fiber, and is especially suitable for direct introduction from outdoor to indoor occasions. It is widely used in inlet network and indoor wiring.
