Fiber Optical cable

High-performance para-aramid filament and yarn for optical fiber cable reinforcement. Taparan® ensures high tensile strength, UV resistance, and long-term stability — a reliable Kevlar® alternative for ADSS, OPGW, and FTTH cables.

Why Choose Aramid for Optical Cable Reinforcement?

Taparan® para-aramid combines high strength, low weight, and chemical inertness — the ideal reinforcement for high-bandwidth cable systems.

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Up to 3.5 GPa tensile strength, much lighter than steel

• Thermal & Chemical Resistance: Operates in harsh environments, resistant to corrosion & moisture

• Non-Conductive & Safe: Perfect for dielectric cable designs (ADSS, FTTH)

Where Our Aramid Makes a Difference

• FTTH Drop Cables

• ADSS Aerial Cables

• Armored Outdoor Cables

• Tactical/Military Field Cables

• Ribbon & Microduct Cables

Processing Compatibility

Taparan® yarns are compatible with all standard optical cable processes:

• SZ-stranding, buffering, and sheathing

• Water-blocking and aramid wrapping

• Precision winding with consistent tension

• Hot-air pre-drying without degradation

They are available in DTex ranges from 1000 D to 4500 D, suitable for both central and peripheral cable reinforcement.

Selection Tips for Cable Designers

• Use ≥1500D filament for high-tension central members

• For water-blocking, select SAP-coated yarns

• Balance denier with strength-to-cost ratio in jacket fillers
