Outdoor central loose tube steel tape armored cable for duct, campus, and FTTx networks. OEM/ODM available.

GYXTW is an outdoor central loose tube fiber optic cable with steel tape protection and PE outer sheath, designed for reliable outdoor communication in duct, campus, and FTTx access networks. A typical structure includes optical fibers inside a filled central loose tube, tube filling or water-blocking materials, steel tape / steel-polyethylene composite protection (subject to final cable design), and a PE outer sheath. GYXTW is commonly used in duct and aerial-lashed installations for medium-distance outdoor routes in access networks and campus backbones. Fiber type, fiber count, sheath material, and mechanical performance should be confirmed according to final cable design and project requirements.

| Model | Cable Structure | Armor / Strength Design | Typical Application | Buyer Selection Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GYXTW | Central loose tube | Steel tape / PSP armored | Duct, outdoor access, campus backbone, FTTx feeder | Compact outdoor cable for medium-distance routes where steel tape protection is needed |
| GYTS | Stranded loose tube | Steel tape / PSP armored | Outdoor duct, backbone, and metro access networks | Suitable for higher fiber count backbone routes requiring stranded tube flexibility |
| GYFXTY | Central loose tube (non-metallic) | FRP strength members, all-dielectric, no metallic components | Aerial-lashed, EMP-sensitive environments, dielectric requirement routes | Exact structure depends on project requirements; available upon request |
| FTTH Drop Cable | Self-supporting or indoor/outdoor flat drop | Varies by type (FRP or steel messenger) | Last-mile subscriber connection from distribution point to premises | Not a substitute for armored outdoor backbone cable; confirm application environment before selection |
