As the fast development of fiber optic communication technology and the trend of FTTX, indoor fiber optic cable is more and more required to be installed between and inside buildings. In Compared to outdoor fiber cables, indoor fiber optic cables are less temperature and mechanical stress, but they have to be fire retardant, emit a low level of smoke in case of burning. And indoor fiber cables allow a small bend radius to make them be amendable to vertical installation and handle easily.

Most indoor fiber optic cables are tight buffer design, usually they consist of the following components inside the cable, the FRP which is non-metallic strengthen member, the tight buffer optical fiber, the Kevlar which is used to further strength the cable structure, making it resist high tension, and the cable outer jacket. The trend is to use LSZH or other RoHS compliant PVC materials to make the cable jacket; this will help protect the environment and the health of the end users.

Applications Of Indoor Cables

Indoor fiber optic cable has two primary applications. A majority of indoor cable is used in building wiring applications. Installed in walls, between floors, in plenum air handling ducts and under data center floors.

Indoor cable that is used specifically for patching applications is typically more robust in design, and capable of superior flex and crush requirements. High volume connectorization processes require cable diameter consistency, long continuous lengths, and outstanding appearance aesthetics.

Usually the single mode indoor fiber optic cables are installed between the buildings where the distance is more than 100 meters, while multimode indoor fiber optic cables are used for shorter distance connections. FiberStore supply SMF and MMF indoor fiber cables with various structures for different applications. FiberStore fiber cable used in building wiring applications is built to withstand the tensile stresses present during installation by the contractor, and, once installed, will provide a safe shroud for many years of trouble-free glass use.

FiberStore is a premier fiber optic cable manufacturer of a full line of indoor assemblies for the Telecommunications, Datacommunications, and Medical applications. FiberStore indoor cables designed with two concepts--easy installation and high performance, include riser, plenum and flame-rated premise cable. Users looking for a tight-buffered indoor cable or tight buffered cable can turn to FiberStore. Available in a variety of connectors, fiber and cable construction types assemblies meet or exceed many of the industry standards for indoor cable assemblies. Cables can also be purchased with different jacketing, such as zero-halogen, and a stiffer jacket for aerial applications. Cables and MTP trunk cable are available in custom configurations and lengths.
