In the minds of many engineers, optical fiber is synonymous with "fragility." It requires large bending radii, no heavy pressure, and additional protection from thick PVC or metal conduits. However, in complex industrial settings, this "delicate" approach leads to high labor costs and long construction cycles.

It is a common misconception that optical fiber is too fragile for harsh industrial environments. Conventional fibers do require extensive protection, but the OFSCN® 85°C Seamless Steel Tube Fiber Cable is designed specifically to move beyond these limitations by integrating protection directly into the cable structure.

By using a single-layer stainless steel seamless tube (typically 304 or 316L) for encapsulation, this product transforms “delicate” fiber into a rugged industrial component that can withstand high pressure and mechanical stress without the need for additional thick conduits.

Key Technical Features:

  • Encapsulation: Seamless stainless steel tube (default diameters of 2.0mm or 3.0mm; customizable to 1/8" or 1/16").
  • Mechanical Strength: High crush resistance and protection against heavy pressure.
  • Temperature Range: Rated for stable operation up to 85°C.
  • Fiber Options: Supports single-mode (G.652D, G.657) and multi-mode (OM2/OM3/OM4) fibers, or a combination of both.
  • Versatility: Can be spliced like standard fiber or terminated with FC/APC connectors.

Applications:

This cable is widely used for:

  1. Industrial Communication: Reliable data transmission in environments where traditional cables would be crushed or damaged.
  2. Distributed Fiber Optic Sensing: Acting as a sensor for Raman (DTS), Rayleigh (DAS), and Brillouin (DTSS) scattering technologies.
