GYTS
Stranded Loose Tube Steel Tape Armored Cable, 2-576 Fibers
Steel tape armored loose tube cable with strong crush resistance, up to 576 fibers.
Overview
What this cable is built for.
GYTS strands loose tubes around an FRP or phosphate steel wire central strength member, wrapped in double plastic-coated corrugated steel tape bonded to a PE outer sheath.
The steel tape gives excellent crush resistance and some protection against gunshot damage, which makes it a good fit for aerial routes and other installations with high crush requirements.
