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.
