Figure 8 armored aerial installation fiber optic cable GYTC8A

GYTC8A is a figure-8 optical fiber cable which is constructed with a central steel wire for strength. Surrounding this core is a bundle of loose tubes made from high-modulus plastic. Each tube houses multiple 250µm optical fibers and is filled with a water-resistant compound. These tubes are then stranded around the central strength member to form a compact, circular cable core and wrapped in the water blocking tape. An aluminum polyethylene laminate (APL) moisture barrier is applied over the core. Finally, stranded wires are incorporated for support, and the entire assembly is encased in a polyethylene (PE) sheath, resulting in the distinctive figure-8 shape.

Features:

· Self-Supporting Structure: GYTC8A cables are designed with a figure-eight shape and internal steel wires that provide excellent tensile strength, allowing the cable to be self-supporting without requiring additional support structures. This significantly simplifies installation and reduces costs.

· Rodent and water Resistance: The optical fibers are enclosed in loose tubes filled with a waterproof compound and wrapped with a water-blocking tape. The outer layer of an aluminum polyethylene laminate (APL) further enhances the cable's resistance to water ingress and makes it resistant to damage from rodents, ensuring long-term stable operation of the optical fibers.

· Superior Tensile Strength: The steel wires within the cable contribute to its high tensile strength, enabling it to withstand significant pulling forces. This makes GYTC8A cables suitable for installation in various complex terrains and environments.

· Strong Corrosion Resistance: The cable's outer sheath is made of weather-resistant and corrosion-resistant polyethylene material, capable of withstanding various harsh environmental conditions and extending the cable's service life.

· Easy Installation: GYTC8A cables are lightweight and flexible, making them easy and quick to install. They can be easily deployed for both aerial and direct burial applications.
