Applications categorized by installation environment:
Outdoor Optical Cable: Used for overhead (e.g., figure-eight cable, self-supporting cable) or underground duct/direct burial installations, connecting optical distribution boxes to buildings. Must possess waterproof, rodent-proof, and UV-resistant properties.
Indoor/Outdoor Dual-Purpose Optical Cable: Used for transitions from outdoor to indoor environments, combining outdoor environmental tolerance with indoor flame-retardant requirements, reducing splicing points during construction.
Indoor Optical Cable: Specifically designed for horizontal or vertical cabling within buildings, such as corridors, low-voltage shafts, and rooms. Common types include single-core, dual-core, multi-core distribution cables, and butterfly cables, emphasizing aesthetics and safety.
