An armored optical cable is a special optical cable with a protective stainless steel armor tube wrapped around the fiber core. The metal armor layer effectively protects the fiber core from animal biting, moisture corrosion and various external damages. - Abrasion resistant while maintaining flexibility - Bend to tighter radius and thinner than standard plastic fiber optics - Solid, smooth and sturdy sheathing - Superior resistance to wear, chemicals and other environmental. Temperature: -40 °C - 70 °C. While retaining the transmission performance. Orient's Unitube Armoured fiber cable is meticulously engineered for direct burial, featuring high-quality ECCS tape armouring and thixotropic jelly in the central loose tube to deter water ingress. This exclusive OptoLock Armor uses military grade steel and a unique system of overlapping links to enclose the internal fibers in. The present invention relates to an optical fiber cable (100) comprising an optical fiber unit (102), optical fiber (104), a tight buffer layer (106), a sheath (108), a plurality of strength members (110 a, 110 b, 110 c), a water swellable element (112) and a filling strength member (SM) 114.
