Non-metallic FRP Rod strength member, usually located at the center or the periphery of optical cables, serves as the important component of optical cables by supporting optic fiber bundles and enhancing cables tensile strength.
Fibreglass reinforced Plastic (FRP) rods are used as strength Members in optical fibre cables. The FRP rod produced by pultrusion process .Fibre glass reinforcements are pultruded with unique resin formulations to produce a final thermoset FRP rod. The round rods located in the centre of fibre optic cab combine the high performance properties of glass reinforcements with unique resin formulation to produce strong and cost efficient cable reinforcement. The long, splice-free lengths enhance productivity in cabling operations.Central strength members are common outdoor cables and some high fibre counts indoor cables.
