GYTY optical cable is a loose tube type cable with layered twisted fibers. It is widely used for long distance communications and local area network construction (LAN), and suitable for outdoor overhead and ducted installations. GYTY cable structure includes a central loose tube, optical fibers, steel wire shielding (optional), and an outer polyethylene sheath. The loose tube is filled with water-repellent gel, which effectively prevents water penetration and protects optical fibers from moisture. What's more, the GYTY cable can be equipped with steel wire shielding to reinforce its mechanical resistance. The polyethylene outer jacket offers excellent resistance to weather and ultraviolet rays, allowing the cable to work stably in various harsh outdoor environments.
GYTY53 cable is based on GYTY cable with double polyethylene jacket and steel strip shielding. Compared to GYTY cable, these structural improvements significantly increase the mechanical protection capacity, the compressive strength and sealing performance of the cable, making it more suitable for complex and demanding installation environments. The gyty53 cable is more suitable for underground installations, humid environments and areas exposed to external mechanical pressure or crushing.
