Frequently Asked Questions
What is the GYXTY fiber optic cable used for?
GYXTY is primarily designed for outdoor aerial and duct installations, suitable for interbuilding voice or data communication and FTTx applications.
How does the steel wire armor benefit the cable?
The steel wire armor provides high tensile strength and excellent crush resistance, protecting the optical fibers from physical damage in demanding environments.
What fiber counts are available for GYXTY cables?
The cable supports a fiber count ranging from 2 up to 24 cores, using a uni-loose tube construction.
Is the GYXTY cable waterproof and UV resistant?
Yes, it features a gel-filled uni-tube and a black HDPE outer jacket that provides excellent protection against water penetration and UV radiation.
What are the transmission characteristics of the single-mode fiber?
The G.652 single-mode fiber offers low attenuation of ≤0.36 dB/km at 1310 nm and ≤0.22 dB/km at 1550 nm.
Which international standards does this cable comply with?
The GYXTY cable complies with several IEC 60794 standards for mechanical and environmental performance, as well as ITU-T G.652 for optical characteristics.
