Contact UsHome / Fiber optic cable sheath wall thickness
Sheathe fiber optic bundles with the least possible clearance between the jacket and the bundle, while still maintaining flexibility and durability. The outer sheath is made from black UV-stabilized and weather resistant material which is SHF1 classified, and may be exposed for shorter periods to fluids such as diese and mineral oils. A rule of thumb when specifying sheathing: if interlocked metal ( (SL)), plain or covered) sheathing is used, minimum bending radius is 4X the OD of the sheathing. What Is a Cable Sheath and Why It Matters 🔍 The cable sheath is the outer protective layer of a fiber optic cable.
