Corrosion-resistant optical cables are a type of optical cables designed for harsh environments. Their main feature is that they can withstand various chemical substances, salt spray, acid and alkali and other corrosive environments. They are suitable for special scenarios such as chemical plants, oceans, underground, and mines. The design and manufacture of corrosion-resistant optical cables usually adopt the following methods to improve their corrosion resistance:
Sheath material: Use corrosion-resistant sheath materials such as polyurethane (PU), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) or polyetheretherketone (PEEK), which have good chemical stability and can resist corrosive liquids and gases.
Armor layer: Add metal armor or stainless steel braided layer to the optical cable to provide physical protection to prevent external mechanical damage and erosion by corrosive substances.
Filling material: Use corrosion-resistant filling paste or filling material to prevent moisture and corrosive gases from invading the interior of the optical cable and protect the optical fiber from damage.
Fiber coating: The coating material on the surface of the optical fiber also has certain corrosion resistance to protect the optical fiber from environmental influences.
Structural design: Use a sealed structure or waterproof and moisture-proof design to prevent moisture and corrosive substances from entering the interior of the optical cable and protect the optical fiber and internal components.
The specific parameters of corrosion-resistant optical cables, such as the number of cores, type, operating temperature range, bending radius, etc., will be determined according to the application scenario and specific needs. When selecting corrosion-resistant optical cables, environmental factors and the service life of the optical cables should be fully considered to ensure the stability and reliability of the optical cables in harsh environments.
The price of corrosion-resistant optical cables is usually higher than that of ordinary optical cables, but considering their long-term stability in special environments and reduced maintenance costs, they are a necessary investment for application scenarios that require the deployment of optical fiber networks in corrosive environments.
