Fiber optic furcation is a vital component in the realm of cable organization and protection, particularly for delicate optical fibers. At Opticonx, we recognize the importance of this technology and offer a diverse range of furcation tubing solutions tailored to meet the needs of various industries and applications.
Fiber optic furcation serves as a protective and organizing mechanism for optical fibers once a cable has been accessed. Not only does it enhance the durability and longevity of optical fibers, but it also adds a layer of strength crucial for their protection. Additionally, furcation tubing is available in different colors to facilitate cable organization, catering to specific application requirements. Its significance becomes particularly pronounced in scenarios involving cable splicing or field termination.
While both furcation and breakout tubing serve the purpose of organizing and safeguarding fiber optic cables, the choice between them depends on the specific application. Furcation tubing typically comprises an inner tube encased within fiber and jacketing, whereas breakout cables, also known as fan-out cables, feature multiple jacketed fibers housed within an outer jacket. Each option offers distinct design elements optimized for performance in various settings.
Fiber optic furcation tubes excel in providing structural support and protection for bare optical fibers. Characterized by an inner tube with a protective jacket reinforced by aramid yarn, these tubes exhibit resistance to shrinkage across a range of temperatures. They prove invaluable in situations necessitating splicing or field termination, ensuring the integrity of fiber connections.
