In fields such as energy exploration, power transmission, and heavy industrial manufacturing, there exist "forbidden zones" for standard equipment. These environments are not only subjected to continuous high temperatures exceeding 150℃ but are also filled with high pressure, corrosive liquids, and massive mechanical stress. Traditional polymer-jacketed optical cables often fail instantly in these areas—jackets melt, signal loss spikes due to hydrogen darkening, and mechanical integrity collapses.

The challenges described regarding traditional polymer-jacketed cables in energy exploration and heavy industry are precisely why specialized metallic encapsulation is required. In environments exceeding 150°C, the mechanical and chemical protection of the optical fiber becomes the primary concern to prevent signal attenuation and physical failure.

To address these “Extreme Forbidden Zones,” we utilize the **OFSCN® 200°C Seamless Steel Tube Fiber Cable**. This product is engineered to maintain structural integrity where standard cables fail.

### Technical Advantages of Seamless Steel Tube (SST) Technology

1. **Hermetic Protection:** The 304 or 316L stainless steel seamless tube provides a robust barrier against high pressure and corrosive liquids, preventing moisture and chemicals from reaching the fiber core.
2. **Elimination of Melting Points:** Unlike polymer jackets, the all-metal construction does not melt or off-gas at 200°C, ensuring stable performance in continuous high-temperature environments.
3. **Mechanical Strength:** The SST design protects the fiber from massive mechanical stress and crushing forces common in energy industry applications.
4. **Specialized Coatings:** This cable utilizes **OFSCN® 200°C Polyimide Optical Fiber** , which features a high-temperature resistant polyimide coating to ensure the fiber itself remains functional at rated temperatures.

### Product Specifications

- **Encapsulation:** Single-layer seamless stainless steel (304 or 316L).
- **Dimensions:** Default diameters of 2.0mm (0.2mm wall) or 3.0mm (0.3mm wall), with customization available for 1/8" (3.2mm) or 1/16" (1.6mm).
- **Fiber Types:** Single-mode or multi-mode polyimide-coated fibers.
- **Applications:** Distributed fiber sensing (DTS, DAS, DTSS) based on Raman, Rayleigh, or Brillouin scattering.
