Net weight: 180kg / metal

,

Product Features: Our water-repellant optical cable filling gel is designed to meet the highest standards of quality. Manufactured in China, it boasts exceptional water resistance, low density, and excellent performance in both high and low temperatures. With a high thixotropic index and minimal acid value and hydrogen evolution, this gel is versatile and reliable.

,

Applications: This filling gel is ideal for sealing the gaps in optical fiber loose casings and strand modules within composite cables. It effectively prevents water and moisture from penetrating vertically, ensuring robust waterproof and moisture-proof capabilities. As leading suppliers from our factory in China, we guarantee high-quality products that enhance the longevity and performance of your optical cables.

    Product Introduction

    Product introduction: Optical cable filling gel adopts GTL process oil and high molecular synthetic material as main base materials. They are combined to be soft, low-viscosity, high thixotropic index, colorless transparent filling gel by advanced production technique whose features has water repellency, excellent processing technic and high- and-low temperature properties. It can keep soft under -40℃ and no-drip on the high temperature of 80℃. Filling process is simple which can be filled at general temperature, especially suitable for particular cable sheath and cable core. According to various requirements of clients, the technical index of viscosity, penetration, thixotropic and etc. that could be adjust in order to satisfy requirements of filling technique.
