Abstract

One of the important characteristics of the optical cable, affecting its operating parameters, is stiffness. It is known that the stiffness of the optical cable increases at low temperatures due to increase in stiffness of the individual elements of the cable: outer and inner jacket, PBT loose tube and etc. However, as shown by the results of the research, the hydrophobic filling, used in optical cables, also influences on the optical cable stiffness at low temperatures. Results of researches of influence of a hydrophobic filling on stiffness are given in article.
