Overview
This document provides detailed specifications and applications for various types of fibre optic cables, including loose buffered cables, fire-resistant cables, and hybrid fibre-copper cables. It outlines the construction, features, applications, and applicable standards for each type.
Loose Buffered Cables
Single Tube: Designed for indoor installations, LAN networks, and tunnels, these cables are flame retardant with low smoke emission properties. They include singlemode and multimode fibres with a jelly-filled tube reinforced with aramidic yarns. Armouring options include galvanized steel wire braid, corrugated steel tape, and anti-rodent glass yarns.
Multi Tube: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations, these cables can be armoured for burial and aerial installations, featuring a central steel or FRP element wound with polyester tape.
Fire Resistant Loose Buffered Cables
Single Tube: Used in safety systems and critical connections, these cables are reinforced with glass yarns and flame-resistant tape. Armouring options are similar to loose buffered cables.
Multi Tube: Designed for safety systems, these cables have a central steel or FRP element and are wound with mica tape for enhanced fire resistance.
Special High Performance Cables
These cables are designed for offshore, oil & gas, and marine applications, featuring a flame-resistant tape suitable for data transmission and telecommunication systems.
Hybrid Fiber-Copper Cables
Combining optical fibres and copper conductors, these cables are suitable for data transmission, electrical instrument, and power circuits, customizable for specific needs.
Applicable Standards
The document references standards for optical fibre characteristics, fire resistance, flame retardancy, and smoke emission, including IEC 60793-1, IEC 60794-1, IEC 60331-25, and others.
Key Features
- High flexibility and low smoke emission
- Suitable for various environments including tunnels, closed areas, and safety systems
- Temperature range: -40°C to +70°C
- Minimum bending radius: 20 times overall diameter (dynamic), 10 times overall diameter (static)
Conclusion
The document provides comprehensive information on the construction, features, and applications of different types of fibre optic cables, emphasizing their suitability for various environments and compliance with international standards.
Introduction
Cavicel manufactures cables according to international standards and client-specific requirements, designed to meet various environmental and project-specific needs.
Specifications and Standards
Cables must comply with international standards and custom specifications, verified through advanced testing by specialized personnel in a fully equipped lab.
Certified Quality
Key performance aspects include resistance to extreme temperatures, humidity, corrosive and chemical environments, mechanical stress, and health and safety requirements such as fire resistance and protection against rodents and termites.
Mechanical Resistance
Cables undergo tests for torsion, traction, compression, bending, impact, and water penetration. Protection against animal damage is achieved through metallic armor and additives.
Fire Performance Tests
Fire tests ensure cables can withstand fire conditions, crucial for safety systems in chemical and petrochemical installations. Standards include BS EN 50200, IEC 60332, and others.
Gas Emission and Smoke Density Tests
Tests measure acid gas evolution and smoke density during combustion, with LSZH materials preferred for safety.
Standards and Designation Systems
The document lists various international standards (BS, CEI, EN, IEC, ITU-T, NEK, NF, VDE) and provides a detailed designation system for cable types, fibers, sheaths, and armors.
Environmental Commitment
Cavicel emphasizes quality and environmental protection in its manufacturing processes.
