Figure-8 Aerial Drop Cable

  • GYXTC8S Figure-8 Self-Supporting Aerial Cable with Messenger Strand

Product Description

The structure of GYXTC8S optical cable features 250µm optical fibers inserted into 

a loose tube made of high-modulus material, filled with waterproof compounds. The 

loose tube is longitudinally wrapped with a layer of double-sided plastic-coated steel 

tape (PSP). Waterblocking material is added between the steel tape and loose tube to 

ensure compactness and longitudinal water resistance, integrated with stranded steel 

wires into a figure-8 polyethylene (PE) sheath.

PRODUCT FEATURES

Full Cross-Section Water-Blocking Structure: Ensures excellent moisture and water-proofing 

performance

Special Tube Filling Compound: Provides critical protective buffering for optical fibers

Longitudinal Steel Tape (PSP): Enhances the side-crush resistance and mechanical robustness 

of the cable.

Long Service Life: Designed for an operational lifespan exceeding 30 years.

Self-Supporting Fig. 8 Structure: High tensile strength, convenient for aerial 

installation, significantly reducing installation costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Figure 8 Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable used for?

GYXTC8S self-supporting figure-8 aerial optical cable with central loose tube and PSP armouring. Single messenger design for quick pole-to-pole installation.

Can Huifiber customise the Figure 8 Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable?

Yes. Huifiber supplies cable under the buyer's own brand as well as under the Huifiber brand. Fibre count, jacket material, jacket print, drum marking, drum length, packaging and datasheet layout can all be produced to the customer's requirement, and the engineering team can work from a customer specification or adapt an existing construction to a new route requirement.

How is the Figure 8 Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable tested before shipment?

Every production batch is tested before it leaves the plant in Dongguan. Attenuation and geometry are measured on OTDR and optical bench equipment, and mechanical performance is verified against the datasheet for the construction. A factory test report is issued with each shipment, so an incoming inspection can be checked against the same numbers.

What should I send for a Figure 8 Central Loose Tube Fiber Optic Cable quotation?

Send the fibre count and fibre type, the jacket material or fire rating, the route length or span and the drum length you need, the destination port or country, and any certification or test-report requirement. With those details the sales engineer can confirm the construction and return a quotation with an indicative lead time.
