SkyLink Titan

OPGW - Center Aluminum Clad Stainless Steel Loose Tube

SkyLink Titan

INFO

Applications

Thermal and Electrical Optimization: By encasing the stainless steel unit in a high-conductivity aluminum layer, the cable minimizes the thermal impact of fault currents on the optical fibers. This construction provides a lower-resistance path for short-circuit events, dissipating heat more efficiently across the cable’s cross-section and protecting the internal fiber coatings from degradation.
