The purpose of this paper is to quantify the manufacturing and installation benefits realized from water-blocking optical cables with super-absorbent polymer material rather than filling compounds. The paper includes discussion of the trends that are driving an increased demand for optical cables suitable for large-scale deployment in underground facilities and a detailed analysis of the benefits inherent in super-absorbent polymer yarns.
