Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable

The structure of figure 8 fiber optic cable is to put 250μm optical fiber into a loose tube made of high modulus material, and the loose tube is filled with waterproof compound. The center of the cable is a metal reinforcing core, and the loose tube (and filling rope) are twisted around the central reinforcing core to form a compact circular cable core. The cable core is longitudinally wrapped with a layer of plastic-coated aluminum tape (APL) and integrated with the steel wire strands into an 8-shaped polyethylene sheath.

Our high quality Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable are all made in China. Orientalfiber is a professional the Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable manufacturer and supplier in China. You can buy them from our factory. For more information, contact us now.

Core Overview

Orientalfiber Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable is a self-supporting overhead optical communication product independently developed and produced by Jiangsu Xuben Photoelectric Technology Co., Ltd. This product is designed to meet the long-distance, high-stability overhead laying requirements of communication, power, rail transit and other industries, integrating excellent mechanical properties, waterproof performance and construction convenience, and is a cost-effective choice for bulk procurement and engineering applications.


Product Basic Structure

The Orientalfiber Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable adopts a standardized and practical structural design: 250μm optical fiber is placed in a loose tube manufactured with high modulus material, and the loose tube is fully filled with specialized waterproof compound. A metal central strength member is set at the core of the cable, with the loose tube and filling rope stranded around it to form a compact circular cable core. The cable core is longitudinally covered with a layer of plastic-coated aluminum tape (APL), and is integrally combined with steel wire strands to form an 8-shaped polyethylene sheath, which is the core structural advantage of the Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable.


Key Product Advantages for Procurement Customers

High Tensile Strength & Construction Convenience

The stranded steel wire configured in the Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable provides ultra-high tensile resistance, supporting direct self-supporting overhead laying. This design eliminates the need for additional auxiliary load-bearing components in engineering construction, effectively reducing on-site installation labor and material costs, and shortening the overall construction period for large-scale procurement projects.


Stable Mechanical & Temperature Adaptability

The Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable has excellent mechanical performance and wide temperature tolerance, adapting to complex outdoor laying environments such as high temperature, low temperature and wind. It maintains stable transmission performance in long-term outdoor operation, reducing the failure rate and later maintenance cost of communication lines, which is critical for long-term project operation.


Superior Waterproof & Moisture Resistance

Multiple waterproof technologies are applied to the Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable to ensure long-term reliability: the central strength member adopts steel wire material, the loose tube is filled with special waterproof compound, the cable core is 100% fully filled, and the APL moisture barrier is added. The multi-layer waterproof structure effectively blocks water and moisture intrusion, protecting the internal optical fiber and extending the service life of the cable.


High-Strength Protective Materials

The loose tube of the Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable uses hydrolysis-resistant high-strength materials, which can resist chemical corrosion and physical damage in complex environments. The dedicated tube filling compound provides targeted protection for the optical fiber, avoiding signal attenuation and damage caused by external extrusion and vibration, ensuring stable data transmission.


Compliance Standards

Orientalfiber Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable (GYTC8A type) fully complies with YD/T 1155 and IEC 60794-1 international and domestic industry standards. All products undergo strict quality inspection before leaving the factory, meeting the standard requirements of global communication engineering procurement, and adapting to the bidding and application standards of different countries and regions.


Structural Components

The complete structure of the Orientalfiber Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable consists of 9 core components, each with a clear functional positioning to ensure the overall performance of the product:


  1. Stranded Wires
  2. PE Sheath
  3. Fibre
  4. Tube Filling Compound
  5. Loose Tube
  6. Cable Filling Compound
  7. Central Strength Member
  8. APL
  9. PE Sheath

Application Scenarios of Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable

Orientalfiber Figure 8 Fiber Optic Cable is widely used in domestic and foreign telecommunications operators, radio and television communication and information transmission systems. It is also suitable for local area network data transmission, as well as industrial front-end connections in electrical power, rail transit, highways and other infrastructure industries. The product’s self-supporting design makes it the preferred optical cable for outdoor overhead laying in long-distance and rural areas.
