Protecting the core Twaron Tape for OFC Optical fiber cables play an essential role in today’s communications, and their fragile cores naturally need protection from various hazards and strains. Up to now, the standard method for indoor cables has been to surround the core with multiple parallel strands of high-modulus, high-strength aramid yarn. However, the optical fiber cable market is quickly changing and expanding. With more data being transmitted over longer distances, and with a demand for ever-greater transmission speeds, optical fiber cables are an essential and growing component of our communication systems. To meet these new demands, Teijin Aramid has created a robust and flexible new patented solution: Twaron Tape. This tape enables the production of cables with a diameter as small as 1.2mm. Key benefits of Twaron Tape • No need to apply low linear density yarns • High strength and crush efficiency • Cost-effective • Easy handling • Suitable for 1.2mm cables • Enables faster cable production
