GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable is a 8-like fiber optic cable that is in a loose plastic tube. This type of cable is commonly found into two forms; Multimode and single mode fiber cables.  Due to its features, GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable has been accepted throughout the market and is widely used in factories.  Inside the plastic tube, there is a water-resistant compound which offers stability to the cable. 

A steel wire locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular cable core. After an Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate (APL) moisture barrier is applied around the cable core, this part of cable accompanied with the stranded wires as the supporting part are completed with a polyethylene (PE) sheath to be figure 8 structures. This kind of cable is specifically applied for self-supporting aerial installation. Consequently,  the  has other special properties that includes Loose tube , metallic type,  Aluminum tape armoured ,  lightweight for  aerial use.

There are numerous characteristics associated with GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable. Some of the most common features of GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable includes; 

1. Accurate fiber excess length ensures a good performance of tensile strength and temperature.

2. High strength loose tube that is hydrolysis resistant and special tube filling compound ensure a critical protection of fiber.

3. The following measures are taken to ensure the cable watertight

4. Single steel wire as the central strength member

5.  Loose tube filling compound

6. 100% cable core filling

7. APL moisture-proof

8.Installation: Self-supporting

9.Applicable Temperature: -40º C~+60º C

Due to its unique features, the GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable is widely used in various areas.  For instance, the GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable is the most suitable fiber cable for aerial installation.  Consequently, it is recommended by most technicians as the most suitable fiber cable for long-haul communication.  Additionally, GYTC8S/ GYTC8A optical fiber cable is also used in junction communication, local area network, and subscriber network.  

This article gives a clear overview of the GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable based on its features and applications. However, it goes further to discuss in detail its physical design as well as components. As at now, the demand of GYTC8S/GYTC8A optical fiber cable has rapidly increased in the market due to low supply. Therefore, there is need of improving its production to meet ever increasing consumer demand in the market.
