Miniature Optical Cable

What is a miniature optical cable

Mini optical cables are a compact version of standard optical cables, and they are designed for use in smaller, portable devices. This method eliminates the risk of interference from electromagnetic signals (EMI). The process starts by converting electrical signals into light at the source end. Our revolutionary, one-of-a-kind OptiTuff Mini Fiber Cable utilizes advanced, ruggedized thermoplastic material as a cost-effective, top-quality alternative to traditional metal armored cable. Compared to non-armored fiber cables, this all-dielectric armor provides superior durability and crush. There are different types of fiber optic cables because each type is optimized for specific applications that have unique requirements for bandwidth, transmission distance, and environmental factors. With a smaller outer diameter than traditional cables, FibreFast™ Blown Minicable allows for optimal filling of microducts with optical fiber. From smaller installations to extensive projects. HEW develops and produces application-specific miniature cables with cross-sections up to AWG56 (ø ≈ 0.
