Complete List of Duct-Type Optical Cable Models
Duct-type optical cables include GYTA, GYTS, GYFTY series, ETK Kablo duct cables (2–288 fibers), and R&M micro-cables for indoor and outdoor duct installations.
Key Duct-Type Optical Cable Models
1. GYTA Series (Outdoor Duct Cables)
- Central Strength Member (CSM) made of steel or FRP
- Corrugated steel tape or steel wires for mechanical protection
- Black polyethylene (PE) outer sheath for UV and chemical resistance
- Non-self-supporting, designed for underground duct installation, sometimes suitable for aerial lashing 2. GYTS Series
- Loose-tube construction with water-blocking gel or dry tubes
- Suitable for backbone networks, metropolitan area networks (MANs), and access networks
- High mechanical and environmental resistance for underground ducts 3. GYFTY Series
- Flexible loose-tube design
- Armored or non-armored options
- Designed for long-distance, high-speed data transmission in ducts 4. ETK Kablo Duct-Type Fiber Optic Cables
- Fiber counts: 2 to 288 cores
- Single-mode and multi-mode variants
- Loose-tube construction with gel-filled or dry water-blocking tubes
- HDPE outer sheath for abrasion, chemical, and UV resistance
- Compatible with blowing, jetting, and pulling installation methods
- Supports 10 Gbps, 40 Gbps, and 100 Gbps networks 5. R&M Micro-Cables for Duct Installation
- Non-metallic central loose tube
- Fiber counts: up to 12 or 24 fibers for air-blown microduct installations
- Rodent-protected, dry central loose tube for indoor duct installation
- Temperature range: -5 °C to +50 °C
- Custom fiber counts and types available on request
Additional Notes
- Duct-type cables are generally non-self-supporting and optimized for underground conduits.
- They often include water-blocking features, armoring, and UV-resistant sheaths to ensure durability in harsh environments.
- Selection depends on fiber count, single-mode vs multi-mode, installation method, and environmental conditions.
- Manufacturers may provide customized solutions for specific network requirements, including high-density metropolitan backbones or campus interconnections . This list covers the most widely used duct-type optical cable models from leading manufacturers, suitable for both indoor and outdoor duct installations.
