Armoured Self Supporting Figure 8 Aerial Cable

Figure 8 Aerial self-support cables are designed medium span aerial installations; they have ultraviolet and harsh external environment protection. Up to 12 fibres are there in each jelly filled plastic compound tube, which is stranded around a steel member, water blocking tape, corrugated steel tape and covered by a PE outer sheath. The upper part of figure 8 has seven messenger stranded galvanized steel uter sheath. They have a small diameter, lightweight, good bend resistance performance. The messenger cables, the steel member and corrugated steel tape armour gives exnt support to the fibre cables to withstand the tensile force for long-haul aerial installations. The PE outer sheath gives exnt environment and ultraviolet protection to the cable.
