Armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with APL (aluminum-polyethylene laminated tape) moisture barrier, metallic central strength member (steel wire), corrugated steel tape/PSP armor with double PE sheath for direct burial and harsh outdoor routes requiring high fiber density.
GYDTA53 is an armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable featuring an APL aluminum-polyethylene moisture barrier, an inner PE sheath, corrugated steel tape (PSP) armor, and an outer PE sheath. This multi-layer design delivers moisture resistance and enhanced mechanical protection for high-density direct burial and outdoor backbone trunk routes. The ribbon fiber structure enables significantly higher fiber density compared to standard loose tube cables. Final fiber count, ribbon configuration, and cable dimensions depend on the project specification.

What is GYDTA53 fiber optic cable?
GYDTA53 fiber optic cable is an armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with APL moisture barrier, metallic central strength member (steel wire), corrugated steel tape or PSP armor, and a double PE sheath. It is designed for direct burial, harsh outdoor routes, and high-density backbone projects where ribbon fiber mass splicing and mechanical protection are both required. MapleArashi manufactures GYDTA53 with up to 288 fibers, G.652D or G.657 fiber types.
