Fiber Optic Cable Self-Supporting Aerial Application Type: Figure 8 GYTC8Y Cores: 2~288 Cores Fibers: G652D, G655, G657, A1a(50/125),A1b(62.5/125),OM3
Description: The fibers,either of single-mode or multimode type, are placed in a loose tube made of high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A steel wire locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. After water blocking tape is applied around the cable core, this part of cable accompanied with the stranded wires as the supporting part are completed with a polyethylene (PE) sheath to be figure 8 structure. This kind of cable is specifically applied for self-supporting aerial installation. Characteristics: 1. Accurate fiber excess length ensure a good performance of tensile strength and temperature. 2. High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant and special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber. 3. The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight: Steel wire as the central strength member Loose tube filling compound 100% cable core filling Water blocking tape used 4. Color Code
