Description
In OMC’s 576F Stranded Loose Tube(GYTY) outdoor cable, A Stranded Wire (sometimes sheathed with polyethylene (PE)) locates in the center of core as a metallic strength member. Single-mode/multimode Fiber are positioned in the loose tube, which is made of PBT materials and filled with filling compound. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular core. A PE outer sheath is covered on all Loose tubes.
