4-48 Core GYTC8S Armored Figure 8 Aerial FTTH Fiber Optic Cable
4~48 Core GYTC8S Armored Figure 8 Aerial FTTH Fiber Optic Cable
Description
In the cable construction, the fibers are housed within a loose tube made of high modulus plastic, filled with a
water-resistant compound. A central steel wire serves as the metallic strength member in the core. The tubes,
along with fillers, are stranded around the strength member to form a compact and circular cable core. Subs-
equently, a Polyethylene (PE) sheath is applied around the cable core, accompanied by stranded wires that act
as the supporting element. This configuration results in a figure 8 structure, specifically designed for self-supp-
orting aerial installations.
Application
1 Suitable for Aerial and Pipeline Laying Method: Designed to be effectively deployed using both aerial and pip-
eline laying methods, providing flexibility in installation.
2 Adopted for Outdoor Distribution: Tailored for outdoor distribution scenarios, ensuring resilience and performa-
nce in various environmental conditions.
3 Ideal for Long-Distance and Local Area Network Communication: Well-suited for both long-distance and local
area network communication, offering reliable connectivity for diverse communication needs.
Characteristics
* Good Mechanical and Temperature Performance: Demonstrates reliable mechanical strength and temp-
erature resistance, ensuring durability in various conditions.
* High Strength Loose Tube with Hydrolysis Resistance: The cable incorporates a high-strength loose tube
designed to resist hydrolysis, enhancing its longevity and performance.
* Special Tube Filling Compound for Fiber Protection: Utilizes a specialized tube filling compound to provide
critical protection to the fibers, enhancing their overall safety and performance.
* Crush Resistance and Flexibility: Exhibits crush resistance while maintaining flexibility, allowing for versatility
in installation and protection against external pressures.
* PE Sheath for UV Radiation Protection: The Polyethylene (PE) sheath serves as a protective layer, shielding
the cable from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.
