Optical Fibre Cables (Loose Tube Design)

Water-blocking tapes are a standard, conventional component in loose-tube optical fibre cable architectures, providing dry moisture protection for the optical core. To accommodate different cable diameters, buffer tube layouts, and arumoring configurations, Tianrong provides a thickness portfolio ranging from 0.15mm to 0.25mm.

Product Selection

Featured Products: ZSD203, ZSD209, ZSD250, JZSD254 (Film-laminated)

These standard water-blocking lines are designed for high-speed cable manufacturing and are available in both precision-slit pads and high-capacity, traverse-wound spools.

By increasing the continuous length per package, these supply formats help manufacturers reduce line changeover downtime, minimize tape splicing requirements, and support long, continuous extrusion runs.

If you have questions about this application, our team is always happy to help you find the right fit for your machinery.

Optical Fibre Cable Application



Dry Core Cable Designs (Fibre Ribbon Applications)

Dry core designs are widely utilised in modern optical fibre manufacturing, offering cleaner installation and direct splicing compared to traditional gel-filled cable architectures. Because the water-blocking tape comes into direct contact with the fibre ribbons, these materials are processed to meet specific mechanical stability and cleanliness standards.

Product Selection

To accommodate different ribbon counts and compact cable configurations, Tianrong provides smooth-surface water-blocking tapes ranging from 0.15mm to 0.20mm in thickness. These lines are supplied in both standard slit pads and high-capacity spools.

Our technical team is always available to help you evaluate which thickness and supply format best align with your specific production lines and tension controls.


Optical Fiber with Slot Frame (Slotted Core)

Tianrong offers water-blocking tapes designed specifically for optical fibre cables featuring a slot frame architecture. These products are manufactured with specialised textures engineered to interface properly with slotted core profiles, ensuring uniform cable geometry during assembly.

Product Selection & Supply Formats

Thickness Range: 0.20mm to 0.30mm

Supply Options: Available in both precision-slit pads and traverse-wound spools.

If you are working with a unique slot profile or need to verify cross-sectional clearances, please feel free to reach out our engineering team is happy to assist with precise dimensional matching for your production needs.
