Mining Fiber Optic Cable MGXTS
MGXTSV flame-retardant communications cable is designed for underground coal mines and mining environments, carrying voice, images, data and environmental-monitoring signals. Flame retardancy, moisture resistance, lateral-pressure resistance and protection against rodent bites are supported by national mining-product safety-mark certification for coal-mine safety compliance. II. Structure and materials. Fibers are housed in high-modulus plastic loose tubes filled with water-blocking gel. Central phosphated or polyethylene-coated steel wire improves tensile strength; parallel side wires or double-sided plastic-coated steel tape (PSP) increase lateral-pressure resistance. A double flame-retardant jacket uses an inner steel/polyethylene bonded sheath and an outer blue flame-retardant PVC sheath, passing bundled-cable flame tests. Water-blocking compound, steel armor and an aluminum moisture barrier provide longitudinal waterproofing.
