Strength Member Gotex StremX

Strength Member Gotex StremX
The newest disruptive strength member on the telecom market.
Coats Gotex StremX is a new generation of high performance yarn that can be used as a strength element in fibre optic cables.

This new and innovative product has a unique coating that provides the yarn with exceptional mechanical performance.

Gotex StremX has a very specific composition made up of materials which currently are predominantly used in the Aerospace, Wind and Composite markets. Through our innovative approach to product design we have created a disruptive solution which is the evolution of a yarn that can now be adapted to the cable market.

This strength member has outstanding tensile modulus and tensile strength, as well as excellent temperature and corrosion resistance.

We have developed two variations of Gotex StremX, high modulus as well as ultra high modulus yarns and optional water blocking coatings to accomplish your specific needs in the telecommunication cable designs.
