Fireguard plenum compounds reduce optical fiber connections
Zurück
New formulation technology for Fireguard low-flame, low-smoke plenum compounds eliminates much of the high cost of connectorization in plant or campus data networks by making possible continuous indoor/outdoor (I/O) optical fiber cables, according to Teknor Apex Company, which is introducing the technology at IWCS/Focus. The I/O formulations provide the UV resistance and anti-microbial properties required for outdoor exposure without tradeoffs in the physical, electrical, and flame and smoke properties available with standard Fireguard grades, according to Mike Patel, industry manager for the Vinyl Division of Teknor Apex. The new formulations are available for all Fireguard compounds used as jackets in optical fiber cable applications. Fireguard compounds are vinyl-based products that provide cost and performance alternatives to fluoropolymers in plenum cable. Like all wire and cable compounds from Teknor Apex, Fireguard products are RoHS-compliant.
