GYXTW Armored Fiber Optic Cable – 2-24 Core Steel Tape Armored PE Jacket for Outdoor Communication
This premium GYXTW 2-24 Core Central Loose Tube Steel Tape Armored PE Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable is engineered for the demanding environments of core access networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and backbone infrastructures. It features a central loose tube design where high-grade optical fibers are positioned inside a high-modulus PBT tube filled with a waterproof gel compound. The core is longitudinally wrapped with a corrugated plastic-coated steel tape (PSP) and integrated with two parallel steel wires as strength members, finished with a high-density polyethylene (PE) outer jacket. Combining superior water blocking, high crush resistance, and excellent anti-rodent protection, it is the ideal choice for outdoor duct and aerial installations.

Applications
Duct and Conduit Installation: Thanks to its superior crush resistance and robust water-blocking structure, it is widely utilized in urban underground communication conduits and low-voltage pipe networks.
Outdoor Aerial Installation: Perfectly suited for pole-to-pole aerial suspension routing. The two parallel steel wires provide outstanding tensile strength to withstand wind loads, ice accumulation, and span gravity.
Long-Haul and Local Loop Transmission: Ideal for telecommunication base station interconnections, central office links, campus backbones, and enterprise private networks.
Rodent-Prone Environment Deployment: The corrugated steel tape armor acts as a tough mechanical barrier against rodents, termites, and wildlife bites, making it perfect for rural, agricultural, and forested areas.
Key Features
Precise Excess Fiber Length Control: The unique central loose tube structure ensures excellent full-section water blocking and manages the secondary excess length of the fiber inside the tube. This guarantees that the fibers remain stress-free even when the cable is subjected to external tension.
Corrugated Steel Tape Armoring (PSP): The longitudinally applied plastic-coated steel tape not only significantly enhances the cable's lateral crush resistance and impact strength but also provides a permanent barrier against mechanical damage and pests.
Parallel Dual Steel Wire Reinforcement: Two parallel phosphated steel wires are embedded directly into the PE outer jacket. This setup provides exceptional tensile loading capabilities while maintaining excellent bending flexibility and mechanical stability during deployment.
Full-Section Water Blocking Structure: The central loose tube is filled with a specialized filling compound, complemented by comprehensive water-blocking materials throughout the cable core, ensuring complete longitudinal moisture resistance.
Weather-Resistant High-Density PE Jacket: Coated with a premium black Polyethylene (PE) outer sheath that offers top-tier UV resistance, environmental stress-cracking resistance, and a prolonged service life in extreme outdoor environments.
