Critical Factors
Tensile load strength for fiber optic cable is a critical factor in avoiding damage to the optical properties of the material and the new furcation tubing center’s best practices were developed around the state-of-the-art fiber optic spoolers with custom tension control and best practice options. These strict practices will ensure healthy individual fibers and end the recent experiences of broken fibers in cables showing no external physical damage.

new warehouse furcation tubing center, best practices and expert consultation
Fiber Optic Furcation Tube is a type of jacketing used to protect and organize sensitive optical fibers while adding a layer of strength for greater durability and longevity. The supportive structure and protection for bare optical fibers rely on an inner tube with a protective jacket reinforced by aramid yarn that resist shrinkage over a range of temperatures. A range of colors can work as a key for organization needs.
Furcation tube is very important when cables need to be spliced, or field terminated. Fiber optic furcation tubing comes in various styles to suit specific optical fibers, connections, splicing, and termination configurations.
There are many factors to consider when determining which product to use. The matrix above on this page can help identify some of those properties. The technical experts on staff at Fiber Optic Center can provide further consultation.
