Description:
GYXTC8S is a self-supporting aerial fiber cable with a figure-8 structure. It uses a single steel wire or stranded steel wires as the self-supporting member and is armored with a steel tape, which provides good mechanical protection and tensile strength. It is suitable for long-distance communication and inter-office communication, and can be used in outdoor environments with a temperature range of -40℃ to +70℃.
Detailed Structure of GYXTC8S Mini FIG8 Self-supported Aerial Cable:
The 2-24 fibers are positioned in a central loose tube made of high-modulus plastic and filled with tube gel. The water-blocking compound is applied around the central unitube. Then the tube is armored with a corrugated steel tape (CST) longitudinally. Stranded steel wires are applied as the messenger. Finally, a figure-8 PE outer jacket is extruded.
| Component Name | Material | Function |
| Optical Fiber Core | Single Mode (e.g. G652D/G657A1) or Multi Mode (OM3, OM4) optical fibers | Transmit optical signal |
| Central Loose Tube | made of high-modulus plastic materials, such as PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) | The loose tube is filled with thixotropic gel to protect the optical fibers from external stress and moisture. |
| Armor layer | Corrugated Steel Tape | Provides moisture-proof and water-blocking effects, rodent resistence. |
| Self-supporting Part | a single steel wire or stranded steel wires | Self-supporting member, easy for aerial laying, without installing additional messenger wire |
| Outer Sheath | FIG8 shaped sheath, made of PE (polyethylene) | good corrosion resistance and weather resistance. |

Features of GYXTC8S Central Uni-tube Mini FIG8 Aerial Cable:
Figure-8 structure design, small diameter and light weight, easy for self-supporting aerial installation, reducing installation costs.
Excellent Optical Performance: The optical fibers (e.g. G652.D) have low transmission loss and low dispersion, which can ensure high-quality optical signal transmission.
Good Mechanical Performance: Through reasonable design and precise control of the fiber excess length in the loose tube, the cable has excellent mechanical properties. The stranded steel wire as the self-supporting member has a very high tensile strength, and the steel tape armor has strong pressure resistance and rodent resistance.
Good Environmental Performance: The cable has good waterproof and moisture-proof performance. The hot-melt adhesive bonding between the steel tape and the loose tube ensures that there is no retraction of the loose tube after the cable is laid, and the cable has excellent flexibility and bending resistance, which can adapt to different environmental conditions.
Applications:
Long-distance Communication: It is suitable for long-distance communication lines between cities and regions, realizing high-capacity and high-speed optical signal transmission.
Inter-office Communication: It can be used for communication connections between different offices in the same city or within a certain area to ensure the stability and reliability of communication.
Outdoor Aerial Installation: Due to its self-supporting structure and good mechanical properties, it is especially suitable for outdoor aerial laying, such as being erected on poles along roads or in rural areas to realize broadband coverage and communication network construction.
