FAQ

Q1: What is the structural design and main application of the GYXTC8S Figure 8 Cable?

A: The GYXTC8S is a self-supporting outdoor aerial fiber optic cable featuring a figure-8 cross-section with an integrated stranded steel wire messenger. It encloses 200/250μm fibers inside a jelly-filled loose tube wrapped with Plastic-Coated Steel Tape (PSP) for moisture-proofing and encased in a durable Polyethylene (PE) sheath.

Q2: What industry standards does the GYXTC8S cable comply with?

A: The cable complies with telecom standard YD/T 1155-2011 as well as international standard IEC 60794-1.

Q3: What are the key performance features of this cable?

A: Key features include:

  • High hydrolysis resistance in the loose tube material
  • PSP armor for enhanced moisture protection
  • Operating and storage temperature range from -40℃ to +70℃
  • High tensile strength (3500 N long-term / 7000 N short-term) and crush resistance (1000 N/100m long-term / 3000 N/100m short-term)
  • Compact, lightweight figure-8 design for simplified aerial installation

Q4: What core counts and physical dimensions are available for GYXTC8S?

A: Specifications by core capacity include:

  • 2 to 12 Cores: 7.0 × 14.0 mm cable diameter | 118 kg/km weight | ф1.0mm × 7 steel strand supporting wire
  • 14 to 24 Cores: 8.0 × 15.1 mm cable diameter | 129 kg/km weight | ф1.0mm × 7 steel strand supporting wire

Deploying aerial fiber along rural utility pole routes requires self-supporting cable structures that minimize installation time without sacrificing mechanical tensile strength. We specified FirstFiber Technologies' GYXTC8S Figure 8 Cable for a 90 km municipal broadband expansion project. The integrated figure-8 structure features a 7-strand steel wire messenger (ф1.0mm × 7 steel strand) that delivers a long-term tensile strength of 3500 N and a short-term rating of 7000 N. This high tensile capacity allows our crews to pull spans efficiently without needing separate lashing wires or external messenger strands. Full compliance with YD/T 1155-2011 and IEC 60794-1 standards provided full assurance that this cable meets strict carrier-grade requirements.

Moisture protection and armor durability are critical for long-term aerial plant reliability under severe outdoor conditions. The GYXTC8S design incorporates a central loose tube made of high-modulus, hydrolysis-resistant plastic filled with a water-resistant gel compound. Over the loose tube, a longitudinally applied Plastic-Coated Steel Tape (PSP) layer serves as a robust moisture barrier and provides excellent crush resistance (1000 N/100mm long-term / 3000 N/100mm short-term). Across our northern routes, where ambient temperatures swing from -40℃ to +70℃, post-installation OTDR trace audits showed zero microbending loss or signal degradation at attachment dead-ends.

From a technical procurement perspective, the physical dimensions and weight profile of the GYXTC8S line make it an exceptionally cost-effective option for aerial fiber access networks. We utilized the 2 to 12 core configuration (7.0 × 14.0 mm cable diameter, weighing only 118 kg/km) as well as the 14 to 24 core option (8.0 × 15.1 mm, 129 kg/km). The G.652 single-mode fibers maintained pristine optical attenuation figures at or below ≤0.36 dB/km at 1310 nm and ≤0.22 dB/km at 1550 nm. Considering the $9 reference price per unit, the GYXTC8S delivers an outstanding return on investment for regional ISPs and utility operators looking for a durable, easy-to-install self-supporting aerial cable.
