Key Benefits of Twaron Tape

No need to apply low linear density yarns
High strength and crush efficiency
Cost-effective
Easy handling
Suitable for 1.2mm cables
Enables faster cable production

Protecting the Core

Twaron Tape is designed for optical fiber cables (OFC), which are crucial in modern communications. Traditionally, indoor cables use multiple strands of high-modulus, high-strength aramid yarn to protect the core. However, the market is evolving with demands for higher data transmission over longer distances. Twaron Tape, a patented solution by Teijin Aramid, allows for the production of cables as small as 1.2mm in diameter, offering significant space savings and increased capacity for optical distribution frames.

Further Advantages

Twaron Tape enhances cable production speed, making handling and installation quicker and more convenient. It simplifies stripping and connectorization, showcasing Teijin Aramid's commitment to adding functionality through innovative finishes.

Meeting Market Needs

The FTTx market (Fiber To The Home, Fiber To The Business, etc.) demands cables that fit into smaller spaces while being strong, crush-resistant, and easy to install. Twaron Tape D2800, a slim, strong ribbon of aramid fiber, addresses these needs. It consists of a single, spread aramid yarn impregnated with a matrix material, offering mechanical properties equal to high-modulus aramid yarn.

Better Protection for Smaller Cables

As optical fiber cables become smaller, protecting their core becomes challenging. Twaron Tape provides better coverage and optimal force and crush resistance, offering three to five times better crush resistance than ordinary aramid fiber protection.

Catalog excerpts

Human Chemistry, Human Solutions Optical fiber cables play an essential role in today's communications, and their fragile cores naturally need protection from various hazards and strains. Up to now, the standard method for indoor cables has been to surround the core with multiple parallel strands of high-modulus, high-strength aramid yarn. However, the optical fiber cable market is quickly With more data being transmitted over longer distances, and with a demand for ever-greater transmission speeds, optical fiber cables are an essential and growing component of our communication systems. To meet these new demands, Teijin Aramid has created a robust and flexible new patented solution: Twaron Tape. This tape enables the production of cables with a diameter as small as 1.2mm. ;ey benefits of Twaron Tape No need to apply low linear density yarns High strength and crush efficiency Easy handling Enables faster cable production
