Standard Loose Tube Light Armored Cable GYTS

Standard Loose Tube Light-armored Cable – GYTS

The Standard Loose Tube Light Armored Cable, or GYTS cable for short, is a type of outdoor fiber optic cable designed for aerial, duct, and direct buried applications.

Here’s a breakdown of its construction:

• Loose Tubes: GYTS cables contain multiple loose tubes, typically made of a high modulus plastic that is resistant to hydrolysis. Each tube contains a few color-coded optical fibers and is filled with a gel that protects the fibers from moisture and other environmental factors.
• Central Strength Member: A central strength member, usually a steel wire or fiberglass rod, runs through the center of the cable and provides tensile strength and stability.
• Filling Compound: The spaces between the loose tubes and the central strength member are filled with a water-resistant filling compound that provides additional protection from water ingress.
• Corrugated Steel Tape Armor: A layer of corrugated steel tape is applied longitudinally over the cable core. This armoring provides excellent crush resistance and protects the cable from rodent damage.
• Outer Sheath: The final layer is a black polyethylene (PE) sheath that protects the cable from ultraviolet radiation, abrasion, and other environmental hazards.

Here are some of the key features and benefits of GYTS cables:

• Excellent mechanical and temperature performance: Due to the loose tube design and controlled fiber excess length, GYTS cables can withstand a wide range of temperatures and harsh environments.
• Superior water blocking: The combination of water-resistant filling compound, central strength member, and Polyethylene sheath ensures excellent water blocking performance.
• Crush resistance and flexibility: The corrugated steel tape armoring and loose tube design make GYTS cables resistant to crushing and provide good flexibility for easy installation.
• Ultraviolet protection: The black PE outer sheath protects the cable from the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation.
• Wide range of fiber counts: GYTS cables are available in a variety of fiber counts, typically from 2 to 288 fibers, to accommodate different applications.
• Standards compliance: GYTS cables typically comply with international standards such as IEC 60794-1 and YD/T 901-2001.

Overall, GYTS cables are a versatile and reliable choice for a variety of outdoor fiber optic applications. They offer excellent performance, durability, and water resistance, making them ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, and telecommunication applications.
