Armored Optical Cable Model Identification

Common armored optical cable model numbers include GYXTW, FUTGCZ, and FDSD024AKY, each designed for specific fiber counts, armoring, and environmental conditions.

Popular Armored Optical Cable Models

• GYXTW: This is a light armored outdoor optical cable with fibers housed in a loose tube. It supports 2 to 24 fibers, is available in single-mode or multi-mode, and features a PE outer jacket. It is suitable for underground or aerial installation and provides longitudinal water-blocking and rodent protection .
• FUTGCZ: An armoured Unitube cable with a central tube containing up to 24 optical fibers. It includes glass yarn, corrugated steel tape armoring, and an LSZH outer jacket. The cable is water-blocked and rodent-resistant, suitable for harsh outdoor environments. Fiber types include single-mode G.652D, multimode OM1, OM2, and optionally G.655, OM3, or OM4 .
• FDSD024AKY: Indoor/outdoor distribution tight buffer cable with 24 fibers, OS2 single-mode, and aluminum interlocked armor. It features sub-units of 12 fibers each and a yellow jacket, designed for high tensile strength and durability in both indoor and outdoor installations .

Additional Considerations

When selecting an armored optical cable, consider the following:

• Fiber Count: Models range from simplex (1 fiber) to 24 fibers or more.
• Fiber Type: Single-mode (G.652D, G.655) or multi-mode (OM1, OM2, OM3, OM4).
• Armoring: Options include corrugated steel tape, aluminum interlocked armor, or dielectric armoring.
• Jacket Material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) or PE (polyethylene) for outdoor durability.
• Environmental Suitability: Some models are rodent-resistant, water-blocked, and rated for extreme temperatures. These model numbers help identify the cable's construction, fiber capacity, and intended application, making it easier to select the right armored optical cable for your project .
