  • 8-core single-mode outdoor armored fiber optic cable 100 self-operated

    8-core single-mode outdoor armored fiber optic cable 100 self-operated

    The GYTC8S armored aerial fiber cable is engineered for demanding overhead installations where mechanical strength and reliability are paramount. Featuring a unique self-supporting design with integrated steel messenger wire, this cable eliminates the need for separate suspension. After a PSP moisture barrier is applied around the cable core, this part of cable accompanied with the stranded wires as the supporting part are completed with a PE sheath to be a figure-8 structure. Characterized by its unique “Figure 8” profile, this cable incorporates a steel stranded wire as its self-supporting component, offering unparalleled tensile strength during both. GYTC8S is a typical self supporting outdoor fiber optic cable with features of moisture resistance and crush resistance suitable for aerial application. It's also called the figure 8 cable because of its structure looks like the figure 8.
