Loose Tube Stranded Armored Flame Retardant Optical Cable with Metallic Central Strength Member (GYTZA53)

GYTZA53 cable is constructed by placing 250µm fibers into loose tubes made of high-modulus material; the loose tubes are filled with water-blocking compound. The center of the cable core is a metallic central strength member; for certain fiber counts, a layer of polyethylene (PE) is extruded over the central strength member. The loose tubes and filler rods are stranded around the central strength member to form a compact, round cable core, and the gaps in the core are filled with water-blocking filler. Coated aluminum tape (APL) is longitudinally wrapped, and a polyethylene inner jacket is extruded over it. Double-sided coated steel tape (PSP) is longitudinally wrapped, and a flame-retardant outer jacket is extruded to form the cable.
Product Standards
  • GYTZA53 cables comply with YD/T 1114 and IEC 60794-1 standard.
Product Features

•  Excellent mechanical performance, temperature characteristics and flame retardancy

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

•  The tubes are filled with special jelly compound, providing critical protection for the fibers

•  Good crush resistance and flexibility

•  The following measures are taken to ensure the water-blocking performance of the cable:

- Single steel wire central strength member

- Special water-blocking compound is filled into the loose tubes

- Fully filled cable core

- Coated aluminum tape (APL) moisture barrier

-  Double-sided coated steel tape (PSP) improves the moisture resistance of the cable

- Good water-blocking materials prevent longitudinal water penetration
