GYXTC8S Self-Supporting Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable With Central Loose Tube
Product Overview
The GYXTC8S fiber optic cable is a self-supporting Figure-8 outdoor cable designed for aerial installation in telecom networks, FTTH backbone lines, CCTV transmission, and long-distance access projects.
Its structure combines a central loose tube filled with gel, corrugated steel tape armor, and a separate messenger wire—either a galvanized steel strand or a single steel wire—forming a strong and reliable 8-shape profile ideal for pole-to-pole spans.
The GYXTC8S cable offers excellent mechanical strength, UV resistance, and moisture protection, making it one of the most popular choices for outdoor communication networks.
