Applications of Optical Cable Sheathing
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). When individual fibers break, light transmission and uniformity. In FTTH and FTTx networks, cable sheath material is often treated as a secondary specification. In reality, cable sheath selection has. The sheath or outer sheath is the outermost protective layer in the optical cable structure, mainly made of PE sheath material and PVC sheath material, and halogen-free flame-retardant sheath material and electric tracking resistant sheath material are used in special occasions. In North America the National Electric Code dictates that this type of a cable jacket cannot penetrate any building by re than 50 feet. Often a riser rated PVC jacket is used for indoor/outdoor cables that must.
