Description
Technical Field

[0002] In the communications industry, to ensure that optical fibers can be laid and used in a variety of environments, they must be combined with other protective components to form optical cables. These cables must exhibit excellent optical transmission performance as well as mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact resistance, bending resistance, and torsion resistance. Cabling, also known as twisting, is a critical step in optical cable manufacturing. Its purpose is to increase the cable's flexibility and bendability, improve its tensile strength, and improve its temperature characteristics.
