AERIAL - Figure-8 aerial cable (GYTC8Y/GYTC8A/GYTC8S)
Product Introduction
The cable exhibits a dual-profile geometry ("8-shape" configuration) divided into three structural zones: core segment, suspension collar, and tensile reinforcement system.
At the core lies a metallic central strength member surrounded by helically stranded PBT buffer tubes. These gel-filled tubes house optical fibers in a dry core design, with interstices injected with water-blocking compound. Subsequent manufacturing options differentiate product variants:
- Armored configuration: Steel-aluminum tape shielding under extruded PE (Polyethylene) sheath
- Non-armored configuration: Direct PE sheath extrusion
Longitudinally integrated high-strength steel strand reinforcement runs through the suspension collar, this dual-component design provides mechanical support for aerial installation, enabling the cable to maintain structural integrity while suspended between poles or towers.

Features

Supports self-supporting overhead laying within 100m file distance, eliminating the installation of steel strand, and has high construction efficiency
Metal reinforced cable, metal reinforced member, good mechanical properties
Full filling of water resistance material in casing and cable core gap, good longitudinal water seep prevention effect
The cable core is longitudinally wrapped with aluminum tape, and the cable has good moisture-proof performance
Cable core outer steel tape armoured, good side pressure resistance
