Wire & Cable for Data Center Applications
Why use Kynar® PVDF for cables in data centers?
For fiber optic and copper applications within data centers, Arkema’s Kynar® and Kynar Flex® PVDF resins deliver:
- Plenum flame/smoke performance
- Low shrink‑back (0.4%)
- Excellent chemical resistance
- Cold‑temperature impact strength
- Flexibility (36–250 Kpsi)
- Ease of processing
- Enables high fiber count design (>288 fiber count)
These resins enable high‑precision extrusion of jackets, microducts, buffer tubes, and furcation tubes while maintaining optical integrity and minimizing attenuation risks.
Multiple grades provide flexibility for your cable design
Kynar Flex® PVDF grades provide enhanced flexibility and ductility, making them well‑suited for data center cables that must navigate tight spaces and dense routing paths. Their ability to maintain performance at low temperatures and withstand repeated bending helps ensure reliable installation and long‑term durability in high‑density environments. This flexibility enables easier handling, reduced stress on connectors, and more efficient cable management throughout complex data center infrastructure.
