Loose Tube Stranded Non-Metallic Strength Member Unarmored Optical Cable (GYFTY)

The GYFTY optical cable consists of 250µm fibers placed into loose tubes made of high-modulus material, with the tubes filled with water-blocking compound. The center of the cable core is a fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) strength member. The loose tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the central strength member into a compact and circular cable core, with water-blocking filling in the interstices. The core is finished with an extruded polyethylene jacket.
Standards
  • YOFC GYFTY optical cable complies with YD/T 901 and IEC 60794-1 standards.
Features

•   Excellent mechanical performance and temperature characteristics

•   The loose tube material itself has excellent hydrolysis resistance and high strength

•   The tubes are filled with special jelly for critical protection of the fibers

•   Good crush resistance and flexibility

•   The following measures are adopted to ensure the waterproof performance of the cable:

- Single non-metallic central strength member

- Loose tubes filled with special water-blocking compound

- Fully filled cable core
