Stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with APL (aluminum-polyethylene laminated tape) moisture barrier, metallic central strength member (steel wire), and PE sheath for backbone, metro, and data center trunk routes requiring high fiber count and splice density.
GYDTA is a stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with an APL (aluminum-polyethylene laminated) sheath and PE outer sheath. It is designed for high-density outdoor duct, backbone, and metro network applications where ribbon fiber technology enables efficient splicing and high fiber counts. The APL layer provides a moisture barrier and improves mechanical protection. Final fiber count, tube configuration, and cable dimensions depend on the project specification.

What is GYDTA fiber optic cable?
GYDTA fiber optic cable is a stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with an APL (aluminum-polyethylene laminated tape) moisture barrier, metallic central strength member (steel wire), and a PE outer sheath. It is designed for high-density fiber backbone, metro, and data center trunk routes where ribbon fiber splicing offers faster installation and higher splice density. MapleArashi manufactures GYDTA cables with up to 288 fibers (ribbon), G.652D or G.657 fiber types, and customizable sheath colors and drum lengths.
