Fiber optic cable filling compound is not ordinary “grease” or “petroleum jelly,” but rather a semi-transparent paste-like functional material composed of base oils, thickening systems, water-blocking
Introduction to the function of cable filler After the multi-core cable is completed, there must be a large gap between the insulated cores.
Filler material, in the context of custom cable assemblies, refers to the specialized substances or components strategically inserted within the cable structure.
Flexible cables used in robotics or dynamic equipment rely on kink-resistant fillers—typically soft PP or textile-based ropes with enhanced elasticity.
That is: an optical cable formed by an optical fiber (optical transmission carrier) through a certain process. The basic structure of an optical cable is generally composed of a cable core, a
For optical communication cables manufactured in accordance with these new processes, it is desirable to use non-solid filler tubes formed from a material other than PE, for example, to
