GYXTS is a central loose tube cable with two layers of armour, steel wire then steel tape, under a single black polyethylene jacket. An economical armoured option for low fibre counts, up to 24 fibres, suited to duct and underground conduit.
Construction
- 2 to 24 fibres, 250 µm coloured
- Single gel-filled central loose tube
- Inner armour: steel wire
- Outer armour: steel tape
- Black UV- and water-resistant polyethylene (PE) outer jacket
Why use it
- Gel-filled central tube protects the fibres
- Steel wire armour gives high tensile strength and crush resistance
- Compact, easy to install
- UV- and water-resistant
Typical uses
Inter-building voice and data links; duct, underground conduit and direct burial; FTTx.
