GYXTC8Y GYFXTC8Y Self Supporting Aerial Fiber Optic Cable
GYXTC8Y cable is for tough outdoor use. It provides robust aerial applications. Central member increases strength greatly. Inside, a loose tube holds fibers. Water-blocking material creates secure protection. So, you gain increased moisture resistance. Corrugated steel tape provides radial strength. Finally, a black PE jacket covers all. Cables have 125.0±0.1µm fiber cladding. Fiber diameter measures 242±7 µm.
The fiber features a figure-8 shape. You can locate the support easily. Diameter is (8.0 ±0.20mm) (15.0 ±0.20mm). Stranded wire is 1.0mm7 strands. PBT tube thickness is 0.3±0.05mm. Also, tube diameter is 2.5±0.1 um. Steel tape is 0.15±0.015 thick. Corrugated steel measures 0.4 ±0.015. Outer covering provides great UV protection.
- Design Offers Simple Builds.
- Cable Offers Great Protection.
- It Ensures Best Signal.
Is the GYXTC8Y Figure-8 Cable Right for Your Project?
Consider using GYXTC8Y for aerial jobs. Cable design makes installs simpler. Therefore, you benefit from fewer steps. Fiber counts vary across types. Observe the tensile capabilities closely. Besides, review the crush resistance data. Short-term tension reaches 2500 N. Long-term is rated at 1000 N.
Next, operating temperature is -40°C to +70°C. Assess all local environmental factors. Confirm that the bending radius fits. Static bending minimum measures 10D. Thus, placement bending radius becomes 20D. GYXTC8Y offers water ingress defense. Design includes the messenger wire.
The UV jacket adds longevity. Cable withstands harsh weather easily. Cable weight registers at 118 g/m. Gel cushioning provides safety.

Mastering Aerial Deployment: Key GYXTC8Y Installation Factors!
Pole Preparation
Carefully examine existing utility poles first. Next, confirm structure meets the standards. Clear any nearby obstructions. Maintain 2.5mm diameter around hardware. Check PBT tube within 400mm. Also, verify spacing of support strands. Confirm pole can bear 1.2kN. Then, use optical distribution frames. Water yarn blocking prevents moisture. Cable has 8.0mm diameter here.
Hardware Selection
Select proper suspension clamps always. Clamps must be correctly rated. Verify grip matches with GYXTC8Y. Pick galvanized steel resisting corrosion. Or, stainless 304 steel is best. Use correct thimbles preventing damage. Also, jacket is 15.0 mm outside. Tools must withstand 2500N tension. Next, select matching bolts and nuts. Ensure good coating on parts.
Sag Management
Correct cable sag is essential now. Control tension while stringing cable. Adjust sag following local rules. Maintain clearance from ground, using 20D. Moreover, use dynamometer for exact readings. Allow thermal expanding between -40°C/70°C. Span can reach 100 meters long. Fiber is inside a 242µm area. Furthermore, G.652D will ensure performance.
Grounding Practices
Safely grounding enhances cable operation. Firmly bond messenger wire to ground. Use best grounding clamps only. Resistance should not pass 10 ohms. Comply with all local codes. And, connect wire at 5-meter points. Check grounding links often too. Keep all connections very secure. Use it in aerial jobs.
GYXTC8Y Cable Maintenance and Care!
-
Visually inspect cables two times yearly. Check carefully for any physical damage. Use quality binoculars for distance views. Observe any jacket related problems. Thus, loose tube encloses the fibers. Record data in maintenance books. Any bending less than 10D. Fibers range from 2 up. Messenger wire gives support.
-
Keep all branches away from cables. Regularly trim nearby trees always. Remove any vines on span length. Maintain a 36 inches clear area. Consequently, prevent limbs from causing abrasion. Schedule trimming once per year minimum. Overgrowth may cause signal loss. But water blocking averts trouble. Inspect after storms always.
-
Monitor all cables in bad weather. Check damages after severe storms pass. Ice loading greatly affects tension. Assess wind effects upon structures. High winds can shift 200mm. Thus, check aerial fixtures after rains. Watch for flooding, securing links. Furthermore, the G.657 fiber is flexible. Steel tape gives good security.
-
Maintain good records of all checks. Document all the maintenance performed. Note all repairs and replacements. Keep your install dates and details. Then, track performance of the fibers. Record all attenuation measurements. Records make fixing easier later. But, jacket safeguards against weather. Tube compound will guard fiber.
