Armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with corrugated steel tape/PSP armor, metallic central strength member (steel wire), and double PE sheath for direct burial and harsh outdoor routes requiring both high fiber density and maximum mechanical protection.
GYDTS53 is an armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable featuring 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 outdoor backbone and trunk routes when installed in suitable duct or project-confirmed direct-burial conditions. 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 GYDTS53 fiber optic cable?
GYDTS53 fiber optic cable is an armored stranded loose tube ribbon fiber optic cable with corrugated steel tape/PSP armor, a metallic central strength member (steel wire), and a double PE sheath. It is designed for direct burial, harsh outdoor environments, and high-density backbone projects requiring mass fusion splicing and maximum mechanical protection. MapleArashi manufactures GYDTS53 with up to 288 fibers, G.652D or G.657 fiber types, and customizable options.

GYDTS53 is a double-sheath steel tape armored outdoor fiber optic cable designed for direct burial, duct, and heavy-duty outdoor backbone routes. The structure combines stranded loose tubes, water-blocking protection, metallic armoring, and PE sheath protection.
| Layer | Component | Material / Function |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Optical fiber unit | Fibers inside loose tubes according to project fiber count. |
| 2 | Central strength member | Provides cable core stability and tensile support. |
| 3 | Water blocking | Filling compound and water-blocking materials protect the cable core. |
| 4 | Armor | Corrugated steel tape improves crush and rodent protection. |
| 5 | Outer sheath | PE sheath protects the cable in direct burial and outdoor routes. |
