FRP Rod / FRP Rod for Fiber Optic Cables

FRP Rod / FRP Rod for Fiber Optic Cables

FRP Rod / FRP Rod products are generally used as strength r optic cables located in the center of fiber optic cables.

It is an important component of fiber optic cables as it supports the optical fiber bundle and increases the tensile strength of the cables.

Field of Application: Fiber Optic Open Cables, Indoor Cables, ADSS Cables, central force class="MsoNormal">FTTx Cables etc.

Composite FRP rods, defined as FRP Rod (GRP Rod), are used as ‘Central Strength er in the center of Fiber Optic Cables.

It is also used as a Protective s where high protection of cables is required.

FRP Rod (rods), high rigidity, anti-buckling, exnt tensile strength properties and provides an increase in the life of Fiber Optic Cables.

FRP Rod contributes to the minimization of cable sags with its light weight feature.

Benefits and Features:

• Light weight and high tensile strength

• Prevents cable bends

• Used for loose tubes, corrugated and strip core

• Good adhesion to jacket material

• Prevents sagging in air applications

• Cost effective

• High flexibility

• Outstanding dimensional stability

• Long, no joints.

• Consistent diameter and circularity

• Can be used for all dielectric or metallic cables

FRP Rod Types

Hard Coat

Low weight, high tensile strength and modulus,

is a rigid dielectric rod made with high quality thermoset resins.

In most dielectric cables the design is used as a central strength member.

However, it can also be used as a protective ables.

Mega Bond

Developed for use with specific adhesive coatings. Ethylene acrylic acid (EAA) is commonly used to give high adhesion properties to the sheath material.

These coatings are applied with a co-extrusion technology giving tight tolerances to the coating thickness and the total size of the rod.

Semi Rigid

Semi Rigid dielectric rod has been specially developed to provide high engineering product.

It is used for protective (armor) purposes with its high flexibility.

Production Method

FRP rod is produced by using pultrusion technique by using glass fiber with high specification resin formulas.

It is characterized by exnt bonding with UV curing system, high adhesion, scratch and abrasion resistant surface properties.
