Definition of GDTS Fiber Optic Cable

GDTS Fiber Optic Cable is a type of fiber optic cable that contains eight loose tubes stranded around the FRP sheath.  Consequently, GDTS Fiber Optic Cable contains a PSP steel belt which is longitudinally applied on the inner part.  Thought this type of fiber cable lacks a metallic central part, it is strong and can’t break easily.  On the outer part, GDTS Fiber Optic Cable is completed with a flame-retardant jacket. 

Description

In the GDTS fiber optic cable, single mode/multimode fibers are positioned in loose tubes, which are made of high modulus plastics and filled with water-blocking materials. Loose tubes and required insulated copper wires are stranded around the metallic central strength member into a compact and circular cable core. For certain high fiber count cables, the strength member would be covered with polyethylene (PE). The APL is longitudinally applied around the cable core before a PE sheath is extruded over it.

Features of GDTS Fiber Optic Cable

Just like any other fiber cable, GDTS Fiber Optic Cable has several outstanding features which give it the needed identity. It is very difficult to confuse between GDTS fiber optic cable and other fiber cables due to the following features;

Highly integrated, small size, network traffic is large, fully save pipeline resources

Excellent mechanical properties, environmental and optical power composite performance

Plus water-blocking tape, to ensure that the effect of moisture vapor barrier

Excellent flexibility and anti-bending ability, steel belt can protect the cable from bullet and mice-bite

GDTS Fiber Optic Cable provides the equipment electricity and signal transmission and improves central monitoring and maintenance for equipment power

To reduce the coordination and maintenance of power supply

Excellent ultraviolet prevention with PE sheath

The following measures are taken to ensure the water blocking performance of the cable:

– Single steel wire used as the central strength member

– Special water-blocking filling compound in the loose tube

– 100% cable core filling

– APL moisture barrier

Storing temperature:-40℃ to +70℃

Operating temperature:-40℃ to +70℃

Bending radius: Static 12.5×D

Dynamic 25×D

Application of GDTS Fiber Optic Cable

GDTS Fiber Optic Cable is widely used in various applicable areas. The commonly applied area is Duct or Aerial.

Conclusion

GDTS fiber optic cables have positioned themselves firmly in the market with its demand growing daily. Technicians are recommending it as one of the best aerial fiber cables and therefore, it has a strong brand in the market. Today, many people are learning on how to install and operate GDTS fiber optic cable effectively.
