Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable
GYTA53
Double Sheath Loose Tube Cable, 2-432 Fibers
Double-sheathed, double-armored loose tube cable for direct burial.
Overview
What this cable is built for.
GYTA53 has two protective layers: a double plastic-coated aluminum tape bonded to a PE inner sheath for water resistance, then a corrugated steel tape bonded to a PE outer sheath. The loose tubes are stranded around an FRP or phosphate steel wire central strength member.
The double armor gives excellent crush resistance and effective rodent protection, so it is built for direct burial.
