What is fiber jelly?

Fiber Jelly, also known as cable jelly, is a professional adhesive used for optical cable connection. It is an important material for optical fiber connection and protection in the field of optical fiber communication. Cable Jelly is mainly composed of various materials such as carbohydrates, organic compounds and chemical plasticizers.

It has the characteristics of non-corrosiveness and non-expansion, and is non-toxic and odorless.

Function of Fiber Jelly

  1. Fiber splicing

During the process of fiber splicing, Cable Jelly is used to fill the gaps in the splicing parts to ensure that the connection between the optical fibers is tight and stable. It can prevent impurities such as moisture and dust from entering the splicing parts, thereby ensuring the smooth transmission of optical signals.

  1. Cable encapsulation

Fiber Jelly can be applied to the splicing parts and terminals of the optical cable to play a role in sealing, insulation and waterproofing. Thereby protecting the terminals of the optical cable from damage.

  1. Reduce reflection loss

At the optical fiber connection, Fiber Jelly can reduce reflection loss and improve the efficiency of optical signal transmission.

  1. Compensate for fiber misalignment

It can fill the misalignment in the optical fiber connection, keep the fiber core and the optical fiber connection aligned, and ensure the quality of signal transmission.

  1. Fiber protection

Cable Jelly can prevent the optical fiber from mechanical damage and erosion by the external environment. It can improve the strength and bending resistance of the optical cable.

  1. Provide a stable environment

It has a certain viscosity and consistency, fixes the position of the optical fiber, and provides a stable environment. Reduce the stress between the fiber core and the external environment.

  1. Optical cable repair

Fiber Jelly can be used to repair damaged optical cables to ensure the integrity and stability of the optical cables.

Application scenarios of Fiber Jelly

Outdoor: In outdoor environments, optical fibers are easily damaged in high temperature, low temperature, and humid environments. Fiber Jelly can provide additional protection to ensure the stable operation of optical fibers in outdoor environments.

Underwater optical cable: Waterproof performance is particularly important for underwater optical cables. Cable Jelly can prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the optical cable to ensure the smooth transmission of optical signals.

Special environment: In special environments such as mines and tunnels, optical cables need to withstand greater mechanical stress and environmental pressure. Fiber Jelly can fill the gaps inside the optical cable to improve durability.

Types of Fiber Jelly

  1. Mineral oil-based fiber jelly

Mainly composed of mineral oil, tackifier, antioxidant and other materials. It has good fluidity and filling properties. It is suitable for protecting optical cables in various environments.

  1. Synthetic resin-based fiber jelly

With synthetic resin as the main component, it usually also contains additives. Such as plasticizers and stabilizers. It has high mechanical strength and weather resistance, and is suitable for scenes with high mechanical requirements for optical cables.

  1. Ordinary fiber jelly

Provides basic waterproof and moisture-proof functions. It is suitable for protecting optical cables under general environmental conditions.

  1. Swelling and water-blocking Fiber Jelly

On the basis of ordinary fiber jelly, a high molecular weight water-absorbing and swelling resin is added. It can expand rapidly when it comes into contact with water, effectively preventing moisture from entering the interior of the optical cable. It is suitable for protecting optical cables in complex environments such as humid and underwater.

  1. Flame-retardant Fiber Jelly

With the addition of flame retardants, it can maintain stable performance at high temperatures. It is suitable for scenes with high requirements for the fire resistance of optical cables.

  1. Environmentally friendly Fiber Jelly

Made of environmentally friendly materials, non-toxic, odorless, and pollution-free. It meets environmental protection requirements and is suitable for scenes with high environmental requirements.

Conclusion

When choosing Fiber Jelly, you need to fully consider factors such as the transmission requirements, environmental conditions, and maintenance costs of the optical cable. This ensures the stable operation of the optical cable and extends its service life. If you don’t know how to choose Cable Jelly, you can contact us at any time.#FiberJelly #WhatIsFiberJell
