FAQ About GYXTY Central Loose Tube Non-Armored Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable

Q: What is the difference between GYXTY and GYXTW?
GYXTY is a non-armored central loose tube cable with PE outer sheath. It is lighter and more flexible than steel tape armored central tube cables. Non-metallic strength members can be specified when the project requires a fully dielectric design. GYXTW adds corrugated steel tape armor over the central tube, providing rodent and crush protection at the cost of increased weight and stiffness. GYXTY is preferred for economical duct installations; GYXTW is chosen when mechanical protection is required.
Q: Can GYXTY be used outdoors?
Yes, GYXTY is designed for outdoor duct installation. The PE outer sheath and water-blocking provide outdoor weather resistance. For environments requiring mechanical protection against rodents or crushing, armored cable types such as GYXTW or GYTS are recommended.
Q: What is the typical strength member design for GYXTY?
GYXTY typically uses non-metallic strength members, making it suitable for duct environments where metallic components are not required. The final strength member design can be specified according to the project requirements.
Q: What fiber counts does GYXTY support?
GYXTY is a central tube design. Typical configurations depend on the project specification. For higher core counts, stranded loose tube cables such as GYTS or GYTA are typically recommended.
Q: Can I get custom drum lengths?
Yes. Standard drum lengths 2-4 km. Custom lengths, packaging, sheath marking, and labeling available on request.
Q: What installation methods are suitable for GYXTY?
GYXTY is suitable for duct installation, outdoor access networks, indoor-outdoor cable transitions, campus backbone routes, and aerial routes with external support. It is not designed for direct burial, self-supporting aerial installation, or applications requiring steel tape or PSP armoring. Please confirm the installation method and environment with the project specification.
