Developed for modern fiber optic cable design
As optical fiber cable designs continue to become increasingly more compact, binder yarn and application control are becoming increasingly critical and important parameters. For this reason, Roblon supplies low shrinkage binder yarn as a standard solution. In cable constructions with extremely light dimensional tolerances and minimal allowance for material movement, ultra low shrinkage binder yarn is available. For advanced applications such as rollable ribbons and central tube high fiber-count bundles, Roblon offers a zero shrinkage polyester binder yarn, ensuring maximum dimensional stability.
