Fiber Optical cable

High-performance para-aramid filament and yarn for optical fiber cable reinforcement. Taparan® ensures high tensile strength, UV resistance, and long-term stability — a reliable Kevlar® alternative for ADSS, OPGW, and FTTH cables.

Why Choose Aramid for Optical Cable Reinforcement?

Taparan® para-aramid combines high strength, low weight, and chemical inertness — the ideal reinforcement for high-bandwidth cable systems.

• High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Up to 3.5 GPa tensile strength, much lighter than steel

• Thermal & Chemical Resistance: Operates in harsh environments, resistant to corrosion & moisture

• Non-Conductive & Safe: Perfect for dielectric cable designs (ADSS, FTTH)

Tailored Aramid Fiber Options for Your Cable Needs

Para-aramid fiber filament has high specific strength, high specific modulus, cutting resistance, fatigue resistance and flame retardant properties. It is a typical representative of fibers. The main specifications are 400, 800, 1000, 1500, 3000D. In addition to yellow color, we also provide aramid filaments with special colors of military green, navy blue, black and red ect.

Where Our Aramid Makes a Difference

• FTTH Drop Cables

• ADSS Aerial Cables

• Armored Outdoor Cables

• Tactical/Military Field Cables

• Ribbon & Microduct Cables

Processing Compatibility

Compatible with all standard optical cable processes:

• SZ-stranding, buffering, and sheathing

• Water-blocking and aramid wrapping

• Precision winding with consistent tension

• Hot-air pre-drying without degradation

They are available in DTex ranges from 1000 D to 4500 D, suitable for both central and peripheral cable reinforcement.

Selection Tips for Cable Designers

• Use ≥1500D filament for high-tension central members

• For water-blocking, select SAP-coated yarns

• Balance denier with strength-to-cost ratio in jacket fillers
