The internal structure and composition of an 8-core cable usually vary according to its application scenarios and design requirements, but the following main parts are generally seen after being disassembled:
First, the basic structure
Fiber optics: 8-core fiber optic cables contain 8 fibers, which are the core part of communication and are used to tranSMit optical signals. Fiber optics are usually made of silica (quartz glass) and have excellent properties such as high speed, broadband, and low loss.
Loose Tube: The optical fiber is usually wrapped in a loose tube, which protects and supports the optical fiber and prevents it from being damaged in the cable.
Reinforcement: fiber optic cables usually contain reinforcements, such as steel wires or fiber reinforcements, to enhance the mechanical strength and tensile properties of the cable.
Second, the internal structure of different types of optical cables
Outdoor Optical Cable:
Central bundle tube type: The optical fiber is located in the center of the optical cable, using an unpasted filling and double-wire external reinforcement structure.
Layer twisted: The fiber is layer twisted around the center reinforcement, which has better protection performance and the advantage of accommodating more cores.
Mainly based on a bundle-like structure, the optical fibers are tightly arranged and wrapped in loose tubes and protective layers.
III. Specific performance after disassembly
Peel off the outer skin of the optical cable: Use the wire peeling tool to peel off the outer skin of the optical cable, and you can see the loose casing and reinforcement inside.
Remove the fiber: Further peel off the loose sleeve to remove the internal fiber. Fibers are usually coated with protective layers and secondary coating materials to improve their mechanical properties and durability.
Check the internal structure: The internal structure of the disassembled optical cable is clear, and the components such as optical fibers, loose sleeves, and reinforcements are intact and neatly arranged.
IV. Precautions
The process of disassembling optical cables requires professional tools and skills to ensure that the internal components of the cable are not damaged.
Cable protection: After disassembling the cable, the fiber optic cable and other components should be properly protected to avoid exposure to contaminants such as dust and moisture.
The use of optical cables: Disassembled optical cables should be connected and used according to specific application scenarios and requirements to ensure the quality and stability of communication.
To sum up, when the 8-core optical cable is disassembled, it will reveal the internal components such as optical fibers, loose sleeves, and reinforcements. Together, these components form the transmission and protection system of the optical cable, ensuring the reliability and stability of communication.
