Gcyfxty Uni-Tube Air-Blown Micro Cable

GCYFXTY [Non-metal reinforced member, central beam tube filled type, polyethylene sheathed outdoor optical cable for communication] The structure of the optical cable is that a single-mode or multi-mode fiber sleeved into a high-modulus plastic-filled waterproof compound loose tube. And placed in the center of the cable. Aramid yarn reinforced yarn and extruded polyethylene outer sheath to form the cable.

Technical Characteristics：

1. Cable Type:

• GCYFXTY:
  • G: Denotes an outdoor optical cable.
  • C: Indicates a central strength member.
  • Y: Typically signifies a polyethylene (PE) sheath.
  • F: Refers to the non-metallic strength member, often made of fiberglass.
  • X: Indicates the presence of additional protection, possibly a water-blocking element.
  • T: Represents the cable’s armored feature, usually with a tape or a layer that provides extra mechanical protection.
  • Y: Again, denotes the type of sheath, usually PE for UV and weather resistance.

2. Core Structure:

• Central Loose Tube:
  • The optical fibers are housed in a central loose tube, filled with a water-blocking gel.
  • The gel protects the fibers from moisture and mechanical stress.
• Non-metallic Strength Member:
  • The central strength member is non-metallic, typically made of fiberglass or aramid yarn.
  • This provides the necessary tensile strength while keeping the cable lightweight and non-conductive.
• Armoring (T):
  • The cable includes an armoring layer, typically a non-metallic tape.
  • This adds mechanical protection against crushing, impacts, and other physical stresses.
• Water-blocking (X):
  • Water-blocking materials, such as gel or tape, prevent water ingress and protect the fibers.
• Outer Sheath (Y):
  • The outer sheath is made from UV-resistant polyethylene (PE).
  • This protects the cable from environmental factors like UV rays, moisture, and temperature fluctuations.

3. Characteristics:

• Non-metallic Design:
  • The entire cable is non-metallic, making it safe for use near electrical equipment and in lightning-prone areas.
• Enhanced Mechanical Protection:
  • The armoring provides additional strength, making the cable resistant to physical damage.
• Water and Moisture Resistance:
  • The cable’s water-blocking materials ensure it remains functional even in wet conditions.
• UV and Weather Resistance:
  • The PE sheath protects against UV radiation, weather, and environmental degradation.
