  1. Introduction to Armored Fiber Optic Cable?

  2. Introduction: • Fiber optic cables can send information over distances as large as metropolitan areas. Expense is one of the reasons for fiber optic cables not being widely used. Another reason is that fiber optic cables are fragile to environmental effects.Even with protective cladding, fiber optic cables are not safe from: • water penetration • rodents attacks • cracking due to excessive force

  3. Structure of an Armored Fiber Optic Cable: The above image shows the different layers of an armored fiber optic cable. A spiral steel ring outside a conventional fiber optic cable with an extra PVC protective layer on top. The yellow fibers are aramid yarn that is a fire retardant and blocks water from entering the fibers. Some manufacturers include specialized waterproof gel between the inner PVC protective layer and fibers.

  4. Types of Armored Fiber Optic Cable Depending on the type of protective winding around the fiber optic cable, the armored fiber optic cable is available in two types: • Interlocking • Corrugated

  5. Interlocking Interlocking armored fiber cable has a protective sheath wrapped around the core in a spiral shape. It provides crush protection when laid in tight ducts or around heavy machinery.

  6. Corrugated Corrugated armored fiber cable uses corrugated metal tape folded around the core. The ridges of the tape discourage rodents from chewing on the cable. Hence, this cable type is ideal in areas with high rodent activity and in-between walls.
