The outermost layer of a Optical Fiber cable is its protective jacket, which serves as a barrier against various environmental factors such as moisture, chemicals, and abrasion. GL FIBER here's a guide to help you choose the right outer sheath material: 1. Understand the Environmental. Sheathing has three core values for use in fiber optic design: Protect the fiber. Keep ambient or stray light from creating signal noise (for sensor applications). Glass fiber and plastic fiber is fragile. When individual fibers break, light transmission and uniformity. For injection-molded cable products such as optical cables, surface defects are a common product quality problem. It can provide mechanical, moisture-proof, fireproof, anti oxidation, and chemical protection for the conductors inside the cable, protecting the cable. fiber optic cable in general by the optical fiber core and cladding, coating, strengthening element, an outer sheath, outer sheath as protective layer of cables, such as fire prevention, moistureproof effect, when a fire starts in the data center had important effect on the performance of the outer.
