Flexible and Durable Figure 8 GYXTC8S Fiber Optic Cable for Aerial Installations
Flexible and Durable Figure 8 GYXTC8S Fiber Optic Cable for Aerial Installations
Description
The cable's construction includes fibers housed in a high modulus plastic loose tube filled with a water-
resistant compound. A central steel wire adds strength, with tubes and fillers stranded around it to form a
compact circular cable. A PSP (Polyethylene-Steel-Polyethylene) layer is applied around the core, along
with supporting stranded wires, enclosed in a polyethylene (PE) sheath, creating a figure 8 structure. Sp-
ecifically designed for self-supporting aerial installations, this cable ensures reliable performance in such
setups.
Application
1. Tailored for aerial and pipeline installations, accommodating specific deployment methods.
2. Designed for outdoor distribution, ensuring resilience in diverse environments.
3. Supports long-distance connections and local area network communication, providing versatile conn-
ectivity options.
Characteristics
1. Robust mechanical strength and temperature resilience demonstrated.
2. Hydrolysis-resistant high-strength loose tube design ensures durability.
3. Specialized tube filling compound provides critical fiber protection.
4. Balances crush resistance with flexibility for versatile use.
5. PE sheath shields the cable from damaging UV radiation, enhancing longevity.
