GYXTC8S Self-supporting Outdoor Cable Description

- The GYXTC8S fiber optic cable cable is an outdoor, armored, figure-8 self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable engineered for overhead telecommunication deployments.

- It features a unique uni-tube (central loose tube) design accompanied by an integrated steel messenger wire, allowing for direct pole-to-pole installation without requiring a separate external suspension wire.

- GYXTC8S meaning:

Code Component	Technical Meaning	Description
GY	Outdoor Optical Cable	Specially designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments.
Y	Loose Tube Structure	The optical fibers are housed loosely inside protective plastic tubes.
X	Central Tube Design	Features a single, compact central loose tube rather than multiple stranded tubes.
T	Filled Structure	The tube is fully filled with a water-resistant jelly compound to block moisture.
C	Self-Supporting Layout	Incorporates an integrated messenger wire so it can support its own weight between poles.
8	"Figure-8" Cross-Section	The outer profile looks like the number "8", separating the fiber unit from the steel suspension wire.
S	Steel Tape Armored	Features a corrugated steel tape wrap (PSP) that protects the core against crushing, rodents, and mechanical stress.

GYXTC8S Cable Main Structure

Layer / Component	Material & Description	Key Function
Messenger Wire	Stranded or solid galvanized steel wire (7 × 1.0 mm typical).	Provides high tensile strength (1500N to 5000N) to carry the structural load over long aerial spans.
Optical Core (Unitube)	Central loose tube made of high-modulus plastic (such as PBT) housing up to 24 color-coded fibers (250 μm).	Isolates optical fibers from physical strain, flattening forces, and microbending.
Moisture Protection	Hydrolysis-resistant thixotropic gel filling inside the tube coupled with water-blocking yarn/tape.	Prevents longitudinal water ingress and protects against severe humidity.
Armor Layer	Corrugated steel tape laminate (PSP - Plastic Steel Polyethylene) longitudinally wrapped around the central core.	Delivers robust crush resistance, lateral pressure support, and localized protection against external forces or animal damage (such as bird peck or gunshot resistance).
Outer Sheath	High-density, UV-stabilized Polyethylene (PE).	Offers prolonged weatherproofing and environmental durability under long-term solar exposure.
