Gel-free cables use water-swellable materials such as tapes, yarns, or powders. These materials expand upon contact with water, effectively blocking moisture from penetrating the cable.
Outdoor gel-free cables are engineered for reliable performance in harsh environmental conditions without the use of gel filling. These cables feature robust outer jackets that provide excellent moisture resistance and protection against UV rays, ensuring durability in outdoor settings. Their lightweight design facilitates easier installation and handling, while high fiber counts support high-speed data transmission with minimal signal loss. Ideal for telecommunications and networking applications, gel-free cables offer a cost-effective solution for reliable connectivity in diverse outdoor environments.
1.Reduced Installation Time: Easier handling and splicing can significantly reduce installation time and labor costs.
2.Cleanliness: The absence of gel makes these cables cleaner to work with, which is beneficial in many applications.
3.Reliability: Effective water-blocking materials ensure long-term reliability and performance.
4.Flexibility: Easier to install in complex routes and tight spaces.
1.Telecommunications: Used for high-speed data transmission in both urban and rural areas.
2.FTTx (Fiber to the x): Ideal for various fiber-to-the-premises applications, including fiber to the home (FTTH), fiber to the building (FTTB), and fiber to the curb (FTTC).
3.Utility Networks: Suitable for smart grid applications and other utility communication networks.
4.Industrial Environments: Used in industrial settings where cleanliness and ease of handling are important.
