Figure 8 cable GYTC8A/ GYTC8S Outdoor Fiber Cable
Product details
The fibers, 250µm, are positioned in a loose tube made of a 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 an Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) or 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 polyethylene (PE) sheath to be figure 8 structures.
YOFC(SH)figure 8 cable GYTC8Y, GYTC8S are also available on request. This type of cable is specifically applied for self-supporting aerial installation.
Characteristics
High tensile strength of stranded wires meet the requirement of self-supporting and reduce the installation cost.
Good mechanical and temperature performance
High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant
Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber
The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight:
Steel wire used as the central strength member
Loose tube filling compound
100% cable core filling
APL moisture barrier
Standards: IEC 60794-1.

Note:
Suffix X denotes fiber type.
The nominal value of the PE sheath thickness: The cable core is 1.5mm, The suspension core is 0.8mm,
The suspension steel wires with two dimension with diameter of 1.2mm and 1.6mm.
Package
OMC offers two types of cable package. Package 1 is usually for indoor, light weight cables. Package 2 is usually for outdoor, heavy weight cables. Usually we only attach Test Report on the out package of the cable, but we could also mark as your requirements.
