Future Fibres pioneered the technique of winding dry fibre in 1996.
The Fibres are taken from large individual fibre spools, held at a controlled tension, and wound continuously around two titanium thimbles set at the precise length required until the desired fibre content has been achieved. This fibre loop bundle is then consolidated using x2 tape layers used to minimise diameter and provide environmental protection followed by a braided cover for chafe resistance. The fibre loops around the titanium end terminations are then encapsulated in resin to completely seal the fibre from the elements and create a flexible transition between the termination and the dry fibre cable core.
