Carbon fiber production took off during the 1960’s but the high price of the material limited its initial usage. Today, there are several types and manufacturers of carbon fiber tows, which has broadened the materials usage to a vast number of applications and markets.

FIBER OPTICAL CABLES Key Features • Rip through any material, including steel armor • High strength to diameter ratio • Lubricated for easy ripping • Colors available for easy identification • Long continuous lengths per spool FIBER-LINE® FIBERS FOR RIPCORDS • Kevlar® Para-Aramid • Vectran® Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) • PET Polyester • Nylon Polyamide • Technora® FIBER-LINE® PERFORMANCE ADDING COATINGS • FIBER-LINE® WearcoatTM: Lubricity for fast and easy removal • FIBER-LINE® BlockcoatTM: Anti-wick/Non-wick water penetration & snag resistance • FIBER-LINE® RepelcoatTM: Water Repellency • FIBER-LINE® Swellcoat®: Water Absorbing Protection • FIBER-LINE® Swellcoat® Blocker: Block Water Migration • FIBER-LINE® ColorcoatTM: Color identification for easy tracking Overview • FIBER-LINE® has over 25 years of experience in producing ripcords for the optical fiber cable market. FIBER-LINE® ripcords deliver optimal performance in a variety of applications. • FIBER-LINE® Ripcords can rip thru a myriad of thick jacketing materials and sheathing, even in below freezing temperatures. • Products are precision-wound for solid package integrity and minimal balooning, which yields the greatest length per package
