Unitube Light Armored GYXTW Fiber Optic Cable – High-Performance Aerial Solution for Modern Telecommunications The Unitube Light Armored GYXTW fiber optic cable stands out as a reliable, lightweight, and durable solution for aerial fiber deployments across diverse global networks. Engineered specifically for outdoor use, this single-mode optical fiber cable delivers exceptional signal integrity over long distances while maintaining robust mechanical protection against environmental stressors such as wind, temperature fluctuations, and moisture intrusion. Its optimized design makes it ideal for backbone links, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and access network expansions in urban and rural settings alike. Key Features: - 12-core single-mode configuration with low-loss performance at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths - Ultra-low attenuation: ≤0.35 dB/km @ 1310nm and ≤0.22 dB/km @ 1550nm - Lightweight construction with compact dimensions—7.0mm or 8.0mm outer diameter—for easy handling and installation - Dual steel wires provide enhanced tensile strength (600N long-term / 1500N short-term) and crush resistance (600N long-term / 1500N short-term) - Polyethylene (PE) jacket ensures excellent UV resistance, chemical stability, and weatherproofing - Water-blocking technology using PSP wrapping and gel-filled
loose tube structure prevents moisture ingress and maintains cable integrity - Stable fiber excess length control minimizes additional attenuation and preserves dispersion characteristics during deployment Detailed Description: This unitube-based GYXTW fiber cable integrates advanced materials and manufacturing techniques to deliver consistent performance under challenging conditions. The central loose tube houses 12 individual single-mode fibers, each surrounded by a water-blocking compound that enhances reliability in humid or wet environments. Unlike traditional armored cables, the Unitube design offers superior flexibility without compromising durability—a critical advantage when installing along poles, towers, or overhead structures. The inclusion of two parallel steel wires not only boosts mechanical resilience but also supports secure suspension from existing infrastructure, reducing the need for additional support hardware. The entire assembly is encased in a high-density polyethylene sheath, which provides excellent abrasion resistance and long-term protection against sunlight degradation and extreme temperatures. Use Cases: Ideal for aerial fiber installations in telecom provider networks, utility pole mounting, campus backbones, FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) rollouts, and rural broadband expansion projects. Whether deployed in temperate climates or harsher regions, this cable maintains stable transmission quality, making it a preferred choice among engineers designing resilient, future-proof communication systems. Customer Testimonials: “Installed this cable on a coastal route where salt spray and wind were constant concerns—I’ve seen zero signal loss over three years.” “A perfect balance between weight, strength, and ease of splicing. Our technicians love how straightforward it is to work with compared to heavier alternatives.” “Used it in a dense urban environment with multiple bends and tight turns—the small diameter made routing through ducts effortless.” Frequently Asked Questions: What makes the Unitube GYXTW different from standard
outdoor fiber cables? It combines a compact unitube structure with dual-strength members and an efficient water-blocking system, offering better performance than conventional loose-tube designs while being significantly lighter. Is it suitable for direct burial applications? While primarily designed for aerial use, its PE sheath and crush resistance allow limited underground deployment if properly protected in conduit or ducting. How does it perform in high-temperature environments? The PE jacket and stable fiber placement ensure minimal thermal expansion effects, maintaining signal consistency even in elevated ambient temperatures. Can it be used in cold climates? Yes—the cable remains flexible down to -40°C, ensuring reliable operation in sub-zero conditions without brittleness or cracking. Why choose 12-core single-mode over other configurations? It strikes the optimal balance between capacity, cost-efficiency, and scalability—perfect for medium-to-large-scale fiber networks requiring future upgrade potential without replacing the entire infrastructure.
