Stainless Flexible Protection Tube & Connectors for Optic Fiber and other related materials and accsessories.

PICOCABLE® The PICOCABLE is a thin and lightweight cable to house optical fibers in the seamless metallic tube. Easy handling of cables and strength as high as corrugated cable enhancing environmental freedom and saving the total installation costs. PICOCABLE detailed information There are two types of metallic tube fiber-optics: The first is a weld type by welding metallic tubes containing the optical fiber; the second is a semiseamless type by inserting an optical fiber after the metallic tube expansion process to ensure the transmission characteristics. Nittetsu is producing the latter type of semiseamless fibers called "PICOCABLE" using its unique vibration technology. The "PICOCABLE" is superior in the side pressure strength and water resistance. Also the PICOCABLE is superb in temperature characteristics. Because no gel is required. The easy-to-handle PICOCABLE makes it possible to improve the cable laying efficiency and eventually reduce the total cost of laying engineering. Standard Specifications Metallic tube:Standard（SUS304) (Optional:SUS316/Incoloy,Copper,Titanium） Standard Marginal Length:Approx. 0.1% Total cable length:2000m A combination of the PICOCABLE and the PICOTUBE enables a communication network of over several thousands meters and also a simple communication network for a specific application to be established. Wide Variety of Tubes and Fibers Any type of materials and size(diameter and thickness) of the PICOCABLE are available. Types of Materials Stainless Steel, Incoloy, Inconnel, Nickel, Copper, Titanium, Aluminium Any types of and number of the cores of PICOCABLE are available. Types of Fibers GI,SM,DSF,MGF,PCF,HPCF,APF,Ribbon fibers. Special applications are available upon your request. Easy Handling Unskilled operators or installers can easily handle PICOCABLE just like electric wires. No need for Jel between the metallic tube and the optical fibers ensure easy handling and installation. Semiseamless Metallic Tube PICOTUBE Product Advantages Lightweight an 8-core outdoor specification PE coated PICOCABLE of 75kg/Km(75g/m) ensures easy handling, eliminating any stress to the laying place. No transmission Loss The PICOCABLE is free of a transmission loss in the temperature range from -25c to +75c and can be securely installed in environments exposed to extreme temperature changes. Crosssectional photo Side Pressure-Proof The laid or installed optical fibers receive side pressure from any and all directions. The PICOCABLE is structured so as to withstand the side pressure. Special laboratory pressure tests of 1-ton load to the PICOCABLE using a metallic board of 50mm in width showed that no transmission loss was found in the PICOCABLE. The PICOCABLE can be installed in the same rack and pit. Rodent-Proof Mice, rats, woodpeckers or termites find traditional cable s very appetizing and often chew and tunneled through them causing serious damages to communications. The PICOCABLE is absolutely rodent-proof and protects the cores of optical fibers. The upper photo shows the PICOCABLE is rodent-proof; the lower photo is not rodent-proof. Even if the outer coating of the PICOCABLE is chewed, the metallic tube protects the cores of optical fibers.
