Case Study – Protective Fiber Rope

The Challenge

Cancord was approached by an organization tasked with inspecting a network of underground sewer systems. The organization was looking for a means of protecting the fiber optic cable they would use for this inspection, and approached Cancord to see if it could be suitably encased and protected in a protective fiber rope.

The Criteria

The rope must be manufactured so as to keep the fiber optic cable protected from external dirt and sewage
The rope must be manufactured with elongation properties that would prevent the fiber optic cable from breaking
The rope must be manufactured to allow ease of handling for the final length of more than 50,000 feet
The rope must be manufactured in a timely manner to meet tight project deadlines

The Solution

Cancord used a combination of high strength fibers to engineer a 53,000′ umbilical that safely protected the fiber optic cable. The project was completed ahead of schedule, and the fiber optic cable maintained its integrity while in use in the rope.
