When to choose GYXTW optical cable? Analysis of 5 core application scenarios

GYXTW optical cable has become a popular choice in the field of optical fiber communications due to its unique structure and performance. This article will explore its core advantages and applicable scenarios in depth to help engineering companies, telecom operators and enterprise IT departments make accurate decisions.


1. Typical characteristics of GYXTW optical cable


GYXTW optical cable adopts a layer-twisted structure design and contains the following core components:

Stainless steel center reinforcement

provides super tensile strength (usually ≥1500N)

Loose tube structure

accommodates 4-144 core single-mode/multimode optical fiber

Double-sided chrome-plated steel tape armor

compressive strength up to 3000N/10cm

Flame-retardant polyethylene sheath

passed IEC 60332-1 flame-retardant certification

Operating temperature range

 -40°C to +70°C

This structure enables it to have both mechanical protection and transmission stability, and the optical attenuation value is ≤0.36dB/km @1310nm.


2.Three major scenarios for choosing GYXTW optical cable


1. Complex terrain laying requirements

2. Cost-sensitive projects

3. Long-term stability requirements

Mountainous area poles (wind-resistant swing design)

The cost per kilometer is 30-40% lower than that of ADSS optical cables

Service life of 25 years (IEC 60794-2 standard verification)

Urban integrated pipe corridors (bending radius ≤ 20D)

Maintenance cycle extended to 15 years (compared to 8-10 years for ordinary optical cables)

Temperature cycle test passed -60°C~+85°C

Direct burial laying (anti-rodent bite level up to IEC 60794-1-21)

Support segmented welding to reduce construction costs

UV aging test 5000 hours

Mechanical properties: 300 repeated bending tests are allowed

4. Key points for purchasing decisions


1.Recommendation for core number selection: reserve 30% redundant length.

2.Supplier qualification requirements: must have CRU global TOP50 certification.

3Acceptance standards: comply with YD/T 901-2018 industry standards.

4.Supporting equipment: G.657.A2 bend-resistant optical fiber is recommended.


conclusion


In outdoor scenarios that require a balance between protection (IP68), economy (<$550/km), and deployment flexibility (bending radius ≤15D), GYXTW optical cable offers the best cost-effectiveness (ROI increased by 23%)
