Why is the stainless steel seamless tube the most thorough solution for rodent issues in the field?
The stainless steel seamless tube provides the most thorough solution for rodent issues in the field primarily due to its exceptional mechanical strength and hardness. Rodents are typically deterred by materials they cannot easily gnaw through or penetrate.
Here’s why it’s so effective:
- High Hardness and Strength: Stainless steel is a robust metal that is significantly harder than typical cable jacketing materials like plastic or aramid yarn. This makes it extremely difficult for rodents to bite through and damage the optical fiber inside.
- Seamless Structure: The seamless construction eliminates weak points that might be present in welded or braided protective layers, ensuring uniform protection along the entire length of the cable.
- Chemical Resistance: Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion and degradation from environmental factors, ensuring long-term integrity of the protective layer.
OFSCN offers various seamless steel tube fiber cables designed for harsh environments, including those where rodent protection is critical. For example, the OFSCN® Seamless Steel Tube Fiber Cables are ideal for such applications.
