Applications of laminates in the telecommunications industry

The telecommunications industry is a rapidly growing sector of the economy that requires durable and reliable solutions. To meet these requirements, individual components in this industry are often manufactured using polyester-glass laminate. We explain what makes this material special and what components for the telecommunications industry are made from it.

 

Laminate as a good insulator

Polyester-glass laminate has low electrical permeability, which means it is a good electrical insulator. This is a direct result of the structure of this material. It is a composite material consisting of interconnected layers of polyester resin and glass fibres. The properties of these substances determine that laminate is a good insulator.

This is what makes this material widely used in the production of electronic components and insulators in the telecommunications industry. Insulators prevent the flow of current between different components and are installed in electronic circuits because they guarantee the safe operation of devices. It is also used in the production of printed circuit boards and other components for the telecommunications and electronics industries. In addition, laminates are used to create connectors, which are essential for connecting various components in a telecommunications system.

 

Laminate protects devices from damage.

Polyester-glass composites are very durable materials, which is why they are used to manufacture fibre optic cables, while laminate covers and housings provide excellent protection for telecommunications equipment against mechanical damage. It is also important that laminate is highly resistant to moisture, high temperatures and chemicals that can damage electronic components and elements used in telecommunications.
