| IPT (Innovative Pultrusions Technologie) GmbH, Austria, specialises in the production of fibre reinforced plastic profiles with outer diameters ranging from 0.5 up to 8.0mm and used as strain relief elements in optical fibre cables. These profiles can also be coated with different materials such as swelling glue, EAA, etc. The company�s main product is "Top Cable", a new generation of non-metallic optical fibre cable. This cable features a one length variety which suits all applications and locations such as aerial (ADSS - All Dielectric Self Support), duct, direct-burial and sub-sea. The structure of this cable includes a central loose tube, or twisted loose tube strands with one central FRP strength member. "Top Cable" is also rodent and termite resistant.
The Austrian company also manufactures "Top GW", a new generation of aluminium coated fibre optic cable, as well as "TopSea", an hydrogen protected sub-sea cable. TopSea features the same characteristics as �Top Cable�, with an additional aluminium coating between the FRP rod and the outer sheath. These products are manufactured with a FRP rod strength element which features a very smooth surface, exact roundness and high-precision diameters ranging from 0.5 to 8mm. The FRP rod strength element also comprises of a single delivery length without splice of up to 100km, and is also available with EAA and water blocking, swelling coatings.
