A non-armored optical cable is a fiber optic cable without any metallic armor layer. Instead, it relies on its jacket materials and non-metallic strength members (like aramid yarn or FRP rods) to provide basic mechanical protection. Designed with an all-dielectric structure, these cables are non-conductive and entirely immune to lightning strikes and electromagnetic. Non-armored stranded loose tube fiber optic cable features FRP as the central member, ensuring the resistance to electromagnetic interference. High strength loose tube is hydrolysis resistant and the tube filling compound ensures a critical protection. Multimode OM3/4/5), construction (Loose Tube vs. Tight Buffered), and application environment (Indoor/LSZH, Outdoor/ADSS, or Armored). The optical fiber elements are typically individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube. AFL-ADSS (All-Dielectric Self-Supporting) fiber optic cable is a non-metallic cable which supports its own weight without the use of lashing wires or messenger cables, typically installed in overhead applications along power distribution or transmission rights-of-way. The use of aramid yarns allows.
