Water-resistant, airtight, thin-diameter, and lightweight optical cable.
Pico cables have a structure that excels in waterproofing and airtightness by inserting optical fibers into a metal (standard is stainless steel) uniseamless pipe, making them strong against lateral pressure. Without a protective tube, they securely protect the optical fibers from animals such as rats and woodpeckers. They can be installed directly in the same pit and rack as general cables. Being lightweight, they enhance work efficiency during cable installation and contribute to overall cost reduction in installation projects. They are ideal for all outdoor optical communications.

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 characteristic of optical fibers themselves acting as sensors, contributing to the construction, management, and maintenance of social infrastructure, as well as disaster prevention and security, thereby enhancing safety, security, and comfort in society.
