Stranded Free Tube Fiber Optic Cable GYTS – High-Performance
loose tube Solution for Global Deployments Overview: The Stranded Free Tube Fiber Optic Cable GYTS is engineered for superior performance in diverse environmental conditions, offering unmatched reliability and durability. Designed as a
loose tube fiber optic cable, it excels in outdoor installations, aerial deployments, and duct environments, making it ideal for both long-haul and metropolitan area networks. With its robust construction and advanced materials, this cable ensures signal integrity over decades of operation while withstanding extreme temperatures from -40°C to +70°C. Key Features: - Hydrolysis-resistant free tubes with high-strength design for mechanical resilience - Premium tube filling compound to protect fibers from moisture and physical stress - PE outer sheath providing UV resistance and protection against environmental degradation - Steel tape armor combined with longitudinal water-blocking gel for enhanced waterproofing - Flexible yet crush-resistant structure suitable for tight bends and complex routing - Low attenuation levels (≤ 0.35 dB at 1310 nm, ≤ 0.21 dB/km at 1550 nm) ensuring efficient data transmission - Tensile strength up to 1500 N short-term / 600 N long-term; crush resistance of 1000 N/100 mm short-term / 300 N/100 mm long-term - Available in fiber counts from 2 to 216, with compact dimensions tailored for space-efficient installation Detailed Description: This stranded free tube fiber optic cable features a modular design that balances performance, flexibility, and ease of handling. The loose tube structure allows individual optical fibers to move independently within their protective buffer, minimizing microbending losses and enhancing longevity. Each tube is filled with a proprietary gel that prevents water ingress and provides thermal stability across varying climates. The outer polyethylene jacket not only shields the core components from sunlight but also offers excellent abrasion resistance—critical for outdoor applications such as pole-mounted or underground installations. With an operating temperature range of -40°C to +70°C, the GYTS cable maintains consistent signal quality under harsh weather conditions, whether in arctic regions or desert zones. Its bend-insensitive properties allow installation around curves with a minimum static bend radius of 10x the cable diameter and dynamic bending radius of 20x the outer diameter. This makes it particularly suited for urban infrastructure projects where space constraints are common. The product adheres to international standards including ISO certification, ensuring compliance with global telecom specifications. Whether deployed in dense city environments or remote rural areas, this fiber solution supports high-capacity communication systems for telecommunications providers, ISPs, and enterprise networks worldwide. Use Cases: Ideal for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home), FTTB (Fiber-to-the-Building), backbone links, campus networks, and metro ring architectures. It’s commonly used in aerial installations, direct burial, and conduit-based deployments due to its ruggedness and resistance to external factors like moisture, rodents, and chemical exposure. Engineers and network planners rely on this cable for reliable, future-proof connectivity across Europe, North America, Australia, and beyond. Customer Reviews: Users praise the cable's consistent performance in challenging terrains, citing minimal signal loss even after years of exposure to extreme conditions. Many appreciate the lightweight yet durable build, which simplifies handling during installation. Customers often highlight how the structured design reduces downtime during maintenance and enhances overall system uptime. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this
Loose Tube Fiber optic cable different from other types? Unlike tight-buffered cables, the free tube design offers better protection against mechanical stress and temperature fluctuations, making it more suitable for outdoor use. Is it compatible with existing fiber splicing equipment? Yes, standard fusion splicers and connectors (such as SC, LC, FC) work seamlessly with this cable type. How does it handle extreme cold or heat? Its materials are tested to perform reliably between -40°C and +70°C, maintaining low insertion loss and structural integrity. Can it be installed in wet environments? Thanks to multiple water-blocking layers—including steel tape wrapping and gel-filled tubes—it remains fully sealed and operational in humid or flooded conditions. What is the expected lifespan? Manufacturers guarantee a service life of over 30 years when installed according to best practices and environmental guidelines.
