Outdoor figure-8 aerial fiber optic cable with a central loose tube core and an integrated metal messenger support element.
GYFXTC8Y is an outdoor figure-8 self-supporting fiber optic cable with a central loose tube cable core and an integrated metal messenger support element. The figure-8 profile combines the messenger and the cable core for efficient one-pass aerial installation along pole routes. It is not intended for direct burial, indoor FTTH drop cable use, or as a direct ADSS replacement. Span length, messenger type, sag, wind load, and installation tension should be confirmed by project design.
