GYTY53-24: 1. Cable Cross-Section

This document describes the specifications of an optical cable. The cable contains 24 fibers placed loosely in tubes made of PBT plastic. A steel wire located in the cable core provides strength. The core and fibers are surrounded by layers of filling compound and plastic sheathing for protection. Fibers are color coded blue to green. The cable meets various mechanical and temperature standards and can operate from -40°C to +60°C. Optical fibers within are G652D single mode with specified attenuation and dispersion characteristics.

1. Cable cross-section

2. Cable Specification
2.1 Introduction
The fibers are placed in a loose tube made of PBT. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling
compound. A steel wire sometimes sheathed with PE for cable with high fiber count, locates in the
center of core as a metallic strength member. Tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength
member into a compact and circular cable core. The cable core is filled with the filling compound to
protect it from water ingress, over which a thin PE inner sheath is applied. After the PSP is
longitudinally applied over the inner sheath, the cable is completed with a PE outer sheath.
