Self-Supporting FRP Strength Armored GYFTC8S Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable
Description of Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable
The Figure 8 fiber optic cable, available in models such as GYFTC8S, GYTC8S, GYXTC8S, and GYXTC8Y, is designed for aerial outdoor installations. It is self-supporting and offers high resistance to moisture and external mechanical stress. The cable includes a metallic strength member made of stranded steel wires, with the supporting element encased in a polyethylene (PE) sheath—forming the signature figure-8 structure.
Features
-
Stranded steel wire construction delivers high tensile strength, enabling self-supporting installation and reducing deployment costs.
-
Excellent durability under mechanical loads and temperature variations.
-
Loose tubes made from high-strength materials resist hydrolysis and ensure long-term fiber protection.
-
A special gel inside the tubes cushions and protects the optical fibers.
-
Multiple water-blocking designs are employed for enhanced moisture resistance:
-
Central strength member made of FRP or steel wire
-
Water-resistant gel filling in the loose tubes
-
Full core filling throughout the cable
-
PSP (polyethylene-coated steel tape) layer for additional water ingress protection
