This is the Standard sheathing material for cables for outdoor use. Below features show a general approach to plastic materials used for fiber optic Cable sheathing and jacketing in the world market. The MDPE has very good physical properties such as: Excellent abrasion resistance, high hardness, low dielectric constant. What are the benefits of MDPE sheathed cables? MDPE stands for medium density polyethylene. Polyethylene materials all have excellent insulation. Medium-Density Polyethylene (MDPE) is a widely used thermoplastic polymer in the telecommunications industry, especially for protecting fiber optic cables. MDPE. Used for the outer sheath of high standard and high requirement optical cable, it has the advantages of stable testing performance, excellent processing performance, smooth and delicate surface of products, etc. The best extrusion performance can be obtained by using a PE screw extruder with a length-to-diameter ratio of 25:1 and a compression ratio of about 3.
