Core Features

1. High strength, crush resistance and impact resistance. It boasts high tensile strength and excellent lateral pressure resistance. When buried underground, it can withstand squeezing from soil and rocks as well as impacts from stones, protecting the internal cable core and optical fibers from external mechanical damage.

2. Outstanding corrosion resistance. Chromium forms a dense passivation protective film to prevent rusting. Grade 304 is suitable for ordinary underground environments. Grade 316 contains molybdenum and delivers superior resistance to salt spray and chloride corrosion, making it the preferred choice for coastal areas, saline-alkali land and humid soil. It resists rust and perforation effectively.

3. Good bending and forming performance. Thin-gauge stainless steel strips feature great flexibility and can be longitudinally wrapped and shaped. They are compatible with high-speed optical cable cabling equipment, fit closely around the cable core after longitudinal wrapping and enable smooth processing.

4. Resistance to rodent and termite gnawing. Made of high-hardness metal material, it can effectively stop rodents and termites from gnawing and damaging optical cables, greatly extending the service life of buried optical cables.

5. High temperature resistance and dimensional stability. It has a low thermal expansion coefficient with minimal deformation under temperature fluctuations. It is not prone to deformation under short-term heat exposure and maintains stable coordination with sheath materials.
