Stranded Figure 8 Aerial Cable GYFTC8S

　　The Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable Aerial Stranded GYFTC8S is named “figure 8” due to its unique cross-sectional shape, resembling the number “8.” This design allows two fiber optic cable cores to be placed side by side within the same cable, forming a compact and efficient aerial installation solution. 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. FRP locates in the center of core as a non-metallic strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. After an Steel tape (SPS) 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 structure.

　　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:

　　FRP rod used as the central strength member

　　Loose tube filling compound

　　100% cable core filling

　　APL moisture barrier

　　Application

　　Aerial installation, self-supporting, overhead

　　Standard

　　Standard YD/T 1155-2001 as well as IEC 60794-1.
