Product Description

Product Overview

GYTC8S is a figure-8 self-supporting aerial cable with integrated steel wire messenger. No extra suspension wire needed – reduces construction cost and difficulty. Stranded loose tube, PSP armored, IP68 waterproof. Ideal for FTTx, rural/urban aerial networks, and long-span outdoor communication lines.

Key Features

Self-Supporting Figure-8 Structure:

Features an integrated galvanized steel wire messenger that eliminates the need for extra suspension wires, simplifying installation in mountainous or rural areas.

Superior Mechanical Strength:

Equipped with 7-strand galvanized steel wires, providing strong tensile strength (up to 6000N) and excellent wind resistance for long-span aerial laying up to 100m.

PSP Armoring Protection:

The cable core is wrapped with PSP (Plastic-Steel-Plastic) tape, offering superior crush resistance, rodent protection, and moisture barrier properties.

IP68 Full-Line Water Blocking:

Utilizes water-blocking gel and compounds throughout the tubes and cable gaps to ensure stable operation in humid or rainy climates.

FAQ

Q：

What is the difference between GYTC8S self-supporting cable and traditional aerial cable?

A：

GYTC8S features an integrated figure-8 structure with a built-in steel wire messenger. It can be directly installed aerially without extra suspension wires, resulting in faster construction and lower cost – ideal for mountainous areas, rural regions, and other complex aerial scenarios.

Q：

What fiber counts do you offer for GYTC8S cable? Is it compatible with mainstream communication systems?

A：

We offer flexible customization from 2 to 144 cores. The standard fiber is G.652D single-mode, and bend-insensitive G.657A can also be provided upon request. It is fully compatible with mainstream 10G/40G high-speed transmission systems and various optical communication equipment.

Q：

What is a figure-8 self-supporting optical cable? How does it reduce my project cost?

A：

The GYTC8S uses a unique figure-8 structure that integrates the steel messenger wire with the cable body. This means no separate suspension wires or hooks are needed for aerial installation, greatly reducing construction steps and saving approximately 30%-50% on labor and material costs.

Q：

What is the maximum span of GYTC8S cable? Is it suitable for windy or high-load areas?

A：

The standard cable supports an aerial span of up to 100 meters. With a reinforced messenger wire made of 7 strands of galvanized steel, it offers high tensile strength (short-term up to 6000N) and strong wind load resistance – making it ideal for aerial deployment in mountainous areas, along highways, and in windy regions.
