As is usually the case in many networks, specific architectural characteristics,
installed environment and particular applications may dictate the deployment of one
type of cable over the other. The topic "How to choose the right fiber optic cable" has
become more valued than ever. To satisfy the installation requirements in a poor
environment or prevent the fiber from outside damages, such as water, fire or animal
biting etc., nowadays many fiber optic cables with different functions have been
designed and launched in the market which includes tight buffered cable, loose tube
cable, distribution cable, ribbon cable and so on. Today, we will introduce one of the
most common used fiber cables in the outdoor environment—the Loose Tube Cables.
Structure of Loose Tube Cables
Due to the unique design of strength and water-blocking gel or tapes, loose tube
fiber optic cables can offer the best protection for the fibers under high pulling
tensions or wet place. In general, a loose tube cable consists of 12 strands of
fiber, but can range anywhere as low as 6, all the way up to 244 strands. There
are seven elements in a loose tube cable. Each element plays a important role in
the cable according to its own feature.
Multiple 250 Micron bare fibers (in loose tube) One or more loose
tubes holding 250um bare fibers. Loose tubes strand around the
central strength member Moisture blocking gel in each loose tube for
water blocking and protection of 250um fibers Central strength member
(in the center of the cable and is stranded around by loose tubes)
Aramid Yarn as the primary tensile strength member Ripcord (for easy
removal of outer jacket) Outer jacket (the common material is the
polyethylene)
Loose tube cables can be either dielectric or optionally armored. The loose-tube
design helps in the identification and administration of fibers in the system.
Types of Loose Tube Cables
According to the different materials or the processing technology for different
applications, there are many types of loose tube fiber optic cables.
1. GYXTW
GYXTW is an outdoor use loose tube cable suitable for duct and aerial applications. It
is single-armored and fully waterproof. The fibers are in a loose tube made of a high
modular plastic. The tube is filled with a water-blocking filling compound and
wrapped with a layer of PSP longitudinally. Between the PSP and the loose tube
water-blocking material is applied to keep the cable compact and watertight. Two
parallel steel wires are placed at the two sides of the steel tape.
Applications: Laying Modes: Aerial & Duc Rural Communication Computer
Networks System CATV Local Trunk Line Long Distance and Local Area Network
Communication
2. GYXTY
GYXTY is a type of fiber optic cable in central loose tube and filled with jelly,
strength steel wire, outer polyethylene sheath which are usually used for aerial outer
door telecommunication. The unique fiber excess length control method provides the
cable with excellent tension and environmental properties. The loose tube material
itself has good water-blocking properties and higher intensity. In addition, the special
jelly filled in the loose tube provides the fibers with critical protection.

7. GYTA53
GYTA53 is a very good cable for harsh environment. It is the steel tape armored
outdoor fiber optic cable used for direct buried and also suitable for ducts. The max
core of this cable is 144 cores. In addition, double-jacket structure makes it own nice
properties of moisture resistance and crush resistance. Double armor structure provide
cable good property of rodent- resistance and moisture resistance. Metal strength
member provides excellent strain performance. High strength loose tube that is
hydrolysis resistant.
Applications: Duct and Direct Buried Application Harsh Environment Local
Trunk Line Long-distance Communication CATV & Computer Networks System
8. GYXTC8Y
GYXTC8Y is a light self-supporting cable suitable for aerial environment for long
haul communications, duct and buried method. High tensile strength of stranded wires
meets the requirement of self-supporting. The mental strength member is made up of
stranded wires as the supporting part and completed with a polyethylene sheath. Steel
wires and loose tubes are filled with water proof compound in order to ensure
compact and longitudinally water blocking. Moreover, metal strength member
provides excellent strain performance and the high strength loose tube is hydrolysis
resistant.

Loose tube cables tutorial

  • 1. As is usually the case in many networks, specific architectural characteristics, installed environment and particular applications may dictate the deployment of one type of cable over the other. The topic "How to choose the right fiber optic cable" has become more valued than ever. To satisfy the installation requirements in a poor environment or prevent the fiber from outside damages, such as water, fire or animal biting etc., nowadays many fiber optic cables with different functions have been designed and launched in the market which includes tight buffered cable, loose tube cable, distribution cable, ribbon cable and so on. Today, we will introduce one of the most common used fiber cables in the outdoor environment—the Loose Tube Cables. Structure of Loose Tube Cables Due to the unique design of strength and water-blocking gel or tapes, loose tube fiber optic cables can offer the best protection for the fibers under high pulling tensions or wet place. In general, a loose tube cable consists of 12 strands of fiber, but can range anywhere as low as 6, all the way up to 244 strands. There are seven elements in a loose tube cable. Each element plays a important role in the cable according to its own feature. Multiple 250 Micron bare fibers (in loose tube) One or more loose tubes holding 250um bare fibers. Loose tubes strand around the central strength member Moisture blocking gel in each loose tube for water blocking and protection of 250um fibers Central strength member (in the center of the cable and is stranded around by loose tubes) Aramid Yarn as the primary tensile strength member Ripcord (for easy removal of outer jacket) Outer jacket (the common material is the polyethylene) Loose tube cables can be either dielectric or optionally armored. The loose-tube design helps in the identification and administration of fibers in the system. Types of Loose Tube Cables According to the different materials or the processing technology for different applications, there are many types of loose tube fiber optic cables. 1. GYXTW GYXTW is an outdoor use loose tube cable suitable for duct and aerial applications. It is single-armored and fully waterproof. The fibers are in a loose tube made of a high modular plastic. The tube is filled with a water-blocking filling compound and wrapped with a layer of PSP longitudinally. Between the PSP and the loose tube water-blocking material is applied to keep the cable compact and watertight. Two parallel steel wires are placed at the two sides of the steel tape.
