Water-resistant, airtight, and lightweight optical cable with a small diameter.
Pico cables are made by inserting optical fibers into a metal (standard is stainless steel) uniseamless pipe, offering excellent water resistance, airtightness, and strong resistance to side pressure. Without a protective tube, they securely protect the optical fibers from rodents, woodpeckers, and other animals. They can be installed directly in the same pits and racks as general cables. Being lightweight, they enhance the efficiency of cable installation work and contribute to reducing the overall cost of installation projects. They are ideal for all outdoor optical communication applications. For more details, please contact us or refer to the catalog.

Company information
Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation Welding Industry Division began developing metal tube optical fibers by applying welding material manufacturing technology in 1984, with the concept of "optical fibers that can be handled like electric wires," inserting optical fibers into thin, unseamless metal tubes. In 1988, they started selling the product under the name "PICOLOOP." Since then, they have responded to customer needs by releasing products such as "Picoflex," which can be flexibly bent, and the portable "Picodrum." Furthermore, recently, they have utilized the characteristics of optical fibers themselves as sensors, contributing to the construction, management, and maintenance of social infrastructure, as well as disaster prevention and security, fostering a safe, secure, and comfortable society.
