GYFTC8S Figure 8 Armored Fiber Optic Cable Steel Messenger Self Supporting FRP
self-supporting FRP strength armoured GYFTC8S Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable
description of Figure 8 fiber cable
The Figure 8 fiber optic cable, including models such as GYFTC8S, GYTC8S, GYXTC8S, and GYXTC8Y, is a self-supporting outdoor cable widely used in aerial installations. It offers strong resistance to moisture and external pressure. The cable's metallic strength member is composed of stranded steel wires, while the support portion is encased in a polyethylene (PE) jacket, forming a characteristic figure-8 shape.
Features
-
The stranded wire design provides excellent tensile strength, supporting self-bearing installation and lowering deployment costs.
-
Exhibits strong durability under mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations.
-
Utilizes high-strength loose tubes with resistance to hydrolysis for long-term reliability.
-
Special gel within the tubes offers vital protection for optical fibers.
-
Multiple design strategies are applied to ensure water-blocking performance:
-
Central strength member made of steel wire or FRP
-
Water-resistant filling compound inside loose tubes
-
Full core filling throughout the cable
-
PSP layer added to enhance moisture resistance
