Polyethylene (PE) optical cable sheath material is an outer protective material designed for optical fiber cables, with excellent mechanical strength, weather resistance and insulation properties. The sheath material contains the following components in parts by weight: 20-50 parts of high density polyethylene (HDPE), 20-30 parts of low density. In FTTH and FTTx networks, cable sheath material is often treated as a secondary specification. As the first line of defense for cables, it can effectively resist external factors such as moisture. The sheathing process is where you apply the final touch to your loose tube fiber optic cable.
