Galvanized Steel Wire Strand for Optical Fiber Cable - China Suppliers & Factory Solutions
Product Advantage
The galvanized steel used for fiber optic cables has two main functions:
1. Improve Strength: In the production and use of fiber optic cables, steel can provide additional strength, so that the fiber optic cables will not break during traction or construction.
2. Traction Tool: It has strong corrosion resistance and a long life. In pipe construction, steel wire is used as a reinforcement core to help pull the cable into the pipe. Its strong corrosion resistance reduces maintenance requirements and prolongs the total service time of the optical cable.
Mainly used for: 8-shape cable, Overhead ground wire.
