Standard LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) material is produced from polyolefin's and is filled with flame-retardants in the form of aluminium or magnesium hydroxide. This sheathing compound is used for indoor as well as multipurpose cables. In this paper, a kind of flame retardant and fire-resistant optical cable is prepared with ceramic sheathing materials. Its structure is mainly composed of cable core, longitudinal covering a layer of two-sided synthetic mica tape outside cable core, inner sheath packed with ceramic sheathing. Below features show a general approach to plastic materials used for fiber optic Cable sheathing and jacketing in the world market. Depending. Optical fiber cables are generally composed of optical fiber cores, cladding, coatings, reinforcing elements, and outer sheaths. In each example, the cable design is described and the results obtained in term of physical properties as well as reaction to fire are. Our fire resistant/fire survival cables feature a steel wire/steel wire braiding/corrugated steel tape armour to provide mechanical strength.
