Outdoor Armoured Optical Fiber Cable GYTS – High-Performance Solution for Robust Telecommunications Infrastructure This outdoor armoured optical fiber cable, specifically designed under the GYTS standard, delivers exceptional durability and signal integrity in demanding environments. Engineered for long-haul and backbone network deployments, it combines advanced
loose tube technology with a rugged metallic strength member to ensure reliable performance across diverse terrains—from urban streets to remote rural areas. With its compact, round core structure and water-blocking capabilities, this cable is ideal for aerial, duct, or direct burial installations where environmental resilience and longevity are critical. Key Features: - Armoured design with steel wire reinforcement for superior crush resistance and mechanical protection - Loose tube configuration using high-modulus plastic to safeguard single-mode and multi-mode fibers - Water-blocking compound and gel-filled tubes prevent moisture ingress, even in extreme humidity or flooding conditions - Central strength member enhances tensile strength and supports installation flexibility - UV-resistant polyethylene (PE) outer sheath shields against sunlight degradation - Modular construction allows scalable core counts—commonly 12, 24, 48, or more fibers per cable Detailed Description: The GYTS
Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable features a layered architecture engineered for maximum efficiency and protection. At its heart lies a central strength element—typically a galvanized steel wire—that provides structural support during pulling and tensioning operations. Surrounding this core are multiple loose tubes, each containing one or more optical fibers surrounded by a hydrolysis-resistant gel compound. These tubes are made from high-strength polymer materials that resist thermal expansion, contraction, and physical stress over time. The entire assembly is tightly packed and sealed with a water-blocking belt and emulsion, ensuring no moisture penetration along the cable’s length. Finally, an outer polyethylene jacket offers complete weatherproofing and protection from abrasion, rodents, and ultraviolet exposure. This design makes it particularly suitable for telecommunications providers seeking robust solutions for FTTH (Fiber to the Home), mobile backhaul, and enterprise connectivity projects. Its proven reliability in harsh climates—from arctic cold to desert heat—positions it as a top choice for global infrastructure development. Use Cases: Ideal for
outdoor fiber deployment in telecom networks, industrial sites, smart city initiatives, and government communications systems. Common applications include underground conduit runs, pole-mounted installations, submarine landfall segments, and ruggedized terrestrial links where traditional cables would fail due to environmental stressors. Customer Feedback: Users consistently praise the cable’s ability to maintain consistent data transmission rates over extended distances without signal loss. Many highlight how the absence of water damage—even after prolonged submersion—has significantly reduced maintenance costs. Installers appreciate the ease of termination and bending radius flexibility, which simplifies fieldwork while minimizing installation errors. Frequently Asked Questions: What does "GYTS" stand for? It refers to a specific type of
outdoor armored fiber optic cable: G (for outdoor), Y (for loose tube), T (for tight-buffered or armored), and S (for steel wire strength member). How many fibers can a GYTS cable hold? Typical configurations range from 6 to 144 fibers, depending on the number of loose tubes and their capacity per tube. Is it suitable for buried installations? Yes—it is fully rated for direct burial thanks to its water-blocking layers and protective sheathing. Can it withstand extreme temperatures? Absolutely. The materials used are tested for performance between -40°C and +70°C, making it suitable for both polar and tropical regions. Does it require special tools for installation? No—standard fiber splicing and termination tools work effectively, though care must be taken when handling the loose tubes to avoid fiber damage.
