Cables Applications

Cables

High strength and stiffness translate to smaller and thinner cables, along with high burst pressure for reinforced tubing. In addition, minimal fiber creep protects optics from unplanned strain in order to maintain optimal signal quality.

VECTRAN™ also maintains high strength after multiple reelings/deployments and provides excellent abrasion resistance in rugged locations.

Key Benefits

High tensile properties
Low moisture absorption
Minimal creep
Abrasion resistance
Flex fatigue resistance

Usage Example

Internal tension/strain relief
Protective jackets or harnesses
Overbraids for higher burst pressures
Ripcords and composite rods
