Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable
GYDTA
Stranded Loose Tube Ribbon Cable, 72-576 Fibers
High-count ribbon fiber cable in stranded loose tubes, 72 to 576 fibers.
Overview
What this cable is built for.
GYDTA carries fiber ribbons in stranded loose tubes around an FRP or phosphate steel wire central strength member, finished with a plastic-coated tape armor and PE outer sheath (aluminum tape GYDTA or steel tape GYDTS).
Ribbons allow mass fusion splicing, which speeds up high-count installs. The armor gives good crush resistance for aerial and duct routes.
Key features
- Fiber ribbons for mass splicing
- Stranded loose tube design
- Aluminum or steel tape armor
- 72 to 576 fibers
Applications
- Aerial
- Duct
