Figure-8 Aerial Drop Cable

  • GYTC8S Figure-8 Aerial Cable with Central Loose Tube

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

GYTC8S optical cable structure features 250µm optical fibers inserted into loose 

tubes made of high-modulus material, filled with waterproof compounds. The center 

of the cable core consists of a metallic central strength member. The loose tubes 

(and fillers) are stranded around the central strength member into a compact circular 

cable core. After a layer of Corrugated Steel Tape (PSP) is longitudinally applied around 

the core, it is integrated with stranded steel wires as a messenger wire 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 GYTC8S Figure 8 Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Cable used for?

Huifiber GYTC8S is a self-supporting figure-8 aerial fiber optic cable featuring loose tube construction, corrugated steel tape (PSP) armor.

Can Huifiber customise the GYTC8S Figure 8 Self-Supporting 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 GYTC8S Figure 8 Self-Supporting 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 GYTC8S Figure 8 Self-Supporting 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.
