The FAB-GYTC8A/S is a robust and high-performance Figure 8 fiber optic cable designed for self-supporting aerial applications. Its structure includes loose tubes made of high-modulus plastic, filled with a water-resistant compound that protects the 250 µm fibers from environmental stress.

At its core, a central steel wire provides metallic reinforcement, around which the tubes and fillers are stranded in a compact circular formation. An Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) moisture barrier enhances water resistance, while a polyethylene outer sheath completes the figure-8 configuration with a built-in supporting stranded wire.

This construction ensures mechanical strength, moisture protection, and stability under temperature fluctuations, making it ideal for outdoor environments. It significantly reduces installation time and cost by eliminating the need for additional support elements.

Ideal for long-span aerial deployments in FTTx networks, telecom infrastructure, and rural broadband expansions, the FAB-GYTC8A/S offers superior performance and long-term reliability in harsh conditions.
