What the GYFXTY model identifies
The GYFXTY product page describes an outdoor central loose tube non-metallic fiber optic cable with a PE outer sheath. A typical design places the optical fibers in a central loose tube and uses a non-metallic strength member subject to the approved cable design.
GYFXTY can be considered for duct networks, indoor-outdoor transitions and supported aerial routes where a non-metallic cable design is required. The route, support method, fiber count, environmental exposure and mechanical requirements must be confirmed before quotation.
RFQ fields to confirm before quotation
| RFQ field | What to state | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Installation and route | Duct, supported aerial, indoor-outdoor transition or another confirmed method; include route environment and temperature range. | Prevents a non-metallic central-tube design from being applied to a route that needs different protection or support. |
| Fiber requirement | Fiber type, fiber count, attenuation limits, compatibility requirements and any required optical test record. | Determines the optical configuration and the evidence required for acceptance. |
| Central tube and strength member | Tube arrangement, filling or water-blocking method, non-metallic strength member and any approved construction drawing. | Turns a model label into a defined cable construction for review. |
| Sheath and environment | PE sheath requirement, UV exposure, moisture risk, rodent or industrial conditions and minimum bend-radius limits. | Connects the outer protection requirement to the actual route risk. |
| Mechanical requirements | Tensile, crush, impact, bending, temperature-cycle or other tests required by the project specification. | Values should be tied to a named method and an acceptance limit rather than copied from an unrelated cable. |
| Drum and delivery | Drum length and tolerance, quantity, cable-end sealing, marking, packing, destination and delivery terms. | Prevents a technically acceptable cable from becoming a logistics mismatch. |
| Documents and deviations | Datasheet, drawing, compliance statement, test plan, routine records, inspection scope and supplier deviation schedule. | Defines how the offered construction will be compared and accepted. |
GYFXTY buyer checklist
- Write the installation method and route environment before naming the cable.
- State fiber type, fiber count, optical limits and required test evidence.
- Confirm central loose tube construction, water blocking and the non-metallic strength member.
- Define the PE sheath, UV exposure, moisture conditions, bend radius and mechanical tests.
- Provide drum length, quantity, marking, packing, destination and document requirements.
- Ask the supplier to list every deviation instead of treating a simple "complies" response as complete.
When to compare another outdoor cable
Use the GYFXTY versus GYFTY selection guide when the decision depends on central versus stranded loose tube construction. Review the non-metallic outdoor cable guide when the project team is comparing cable protection and route conditions.
For aerial routes that require a designed self-supporting cable, review the ADSS product page and confirm span, sag, wind, ice, temperature and hardware inputs. A generic "outdoor fiber cable" label is not enough to establish the correct construction.

Frequently asked questions
What should a GYFXTY fiber optic cable RFQ include?
State the route, installation method, fiber type and count, central loose tube construction, non-metallic strength member, PE sheath, environmental conditions, drum length, quantity, marking, packaging and required test documents.
Is GYFXTY self-supporting for any aerial span?
No. Confirm the external support method, route loads and approved cable design before using GYFXTY on a supported aerial route.
How is GYFXTY different from GYFTY?
GYFXTY uses a central loose tube non-metallic design, while GYFTY is a stranded loose tube construction. Confirm fiber count, route, protection and project requirements before selecting between them.
What should be confirmed before requesting a quotation?
Confirm fiber type, fiber count, strength member, sheath, water blocking, installation environment, mechanical requirements, drum length, quantity, packing and acceptance documents.
Need a GYFXTY cable quotation?
Send the route, fiber requirements, cable construction, quantity, drum length and destination. MapleArashi can review the configuration before quotation.
