Stranded loose jacket non-metallic reinforced core unarmoured fiber optic cable

The structure of the GYFTA fiber optic cable is that a 250μm optical fiber is sleeved into a loose tube made of high-modulus material, which is filled with a waterproof compound. In the center of the core is a non-metallic reinforcing core (FRP), and for some core counts, a layer of polyethylene (PE) is squeezed on top of the non-metallic reinforcing core. The loose tube (and filler rope) are twisted around the central reinforcing core to form a compact and rounded core, and the gaps within the core are filled with water-blocking filling. Plastic-coated aluminum tape (APL) is longitudinally wrapped and then extruded into a polyethylene sheath to form a cable.

Description

Product standards
  • YOFC’s GYFTA fiber optic cables comply with YD/T 901 and IEC 60794-1 standards.
Features:
• Very good mechanical properties, temperature characteristics and flame retardant properties

• The loose tube material itself has good hydrolysis resistance and high strength

• The tube is filled with special paste to protect the optical fiber

• Specially designed tight cable structure to effectively prevent the casing from retracting

• The PE sheath has very good resistance to ultraviolet radiation

• The following measures are taken to ensure the waterproof performance of the cable:

– Single non-metallic center reinforcing core

– The loose tube is filled with a special waterproofing compound

– Full core filling

– Plastic-coated aluminium tape (APL) moisture barrier
