GYTA/GYFTA Cable
Metallic/FRP Strength Member Non-armored Cable
The 250μm fibers are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A metallic or Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) locates in the center of core as a strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular core. After an Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) moisture barrier is applied around the cable core, the cable is completed with a PE sheath.
Features
Good mechanical and temperature performance
High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant
Special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber
Specially designed compact structure is good at preventing loose tubes from shrinking
PE sheath protects cable from ultraviolet radiation
The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight:
– Single Fiber Reinforced Plastic as the central strength member
– Loose tube filling compound
– 100% cable core filling
– APL moisture barrier
Standards
GYTA/GYFTA cable complies with Standard YD/T 901-2001as well as IEC 60794-1.
