The fiber core can be parallel, twisted or in rope form. With a wide variety of polymers available, each polymer jacket material is selected to optimize flex, chemical, temperature, & UV resistance according to your application’s unique requirements. See the Extrusion Polymers table below for more information. Extruded products include Strength Members, Trace Wire, Micro Cable and Ruggedized Cable.
