The outdoor 8-shape optical fiber cable is a specialized cable design characterized by its unique structure, which consists of two optical fibers arranged in an 8-shape configuration. The core feature of this cable is its distinctive 8-shape structure, which enhances the cable's tensile strength and reduces its bending radius, making it suitable for various complex environments and installation methods. Due to its 8-shape design, the cable can distribute stress more evenly when subjected to tension, thereby increasing its tensile strength. This makes it particularly effective in overhead installations where significant tension is often encountered. Additionally, the 8-shape structure allows for a smaller bending radius, facilitating easier bending and coiling during installation, which minimizes signal loss caused by bending.
Outdoor figure 8 cables can be customized with different jacket types, such as GYTA53 (double-layer jacket) and GYTA33 (single-layer jacket), to meet specific installation requirements and protection needs. The cable's interior is typically filled with waterproof compounds and features moisture-resistant layers like aluminum-coated plastic tape, ensuring stable operation in humid conditions.
These cables are ideal for urban roads, highways, and other environments where protection is essential. When installed using direct burial methods, the cable can reliably transmit optical signals over long periods without interference or damage. In urban infrastructure and communication networks, outdoor 8-shape cables can be installed through conduits, further enhancing their protection level and ensuring stable and reliable signal transmission. They are also well-suited for rural and mountainous areas that require overhead installations, thanks to their high tensile strength and low bending radius, which provide flexibility and reliability.
