Material of outer sheath for drop optical cables - YoAhorroEnergia Data Infrastructure [PDF]
OFNP is the outer sheath material of optical cables used in air circulation spaces in buildings (such as ceiling mezzanines, ventilation ducts, etc.). It requires the highest flame retardant
Indoor fibe optic cables can be sheathed with PVC, and outdoor fiber optic cables can be sheathed with PE. When flame-retardant is required, LSZH, flame-retardant materials can be used.
The flame-retardant TPU polyurethane sheath material is primarily designed for use in 3.0, 5.0, and 8.0 optical cable outer jackets. It offers outstanding performance and can be tailored to customer
Possess a strong outer jacket for weather resistance and protection against UV rays, high winds, and temperature fluctuations. May incorporate a metallic strength member for additional
Choose the sheath material based on the specific environmental, mechanical, and safety requirements of your installation. Consulting with a fiber optic cable manufacturer or an expert can

Please refer to the Product Specifications sections located in the OCC Product Catalog for the various cable types and fiber counts available with the various jacket materials, or call OCC Sales to discuss
For indoor cables, you can choose PVC sheaths with flame retardancy or LSZH sheath cable if you want more safety in case of incidents. For outdoor cables, choose XLPE, HDPE sheaths
The sheath or outer sheath is the outermost protective layer in the optical cable structure, mainly made of PE sheath material and PVC sheath material, and halogen-free flame-retardant sheath material
