Description
In OMC’s 8-32-64F Stranded Loose Tube Armored Cable –GYSTW, A steel wire is located 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 loose tube is covered with water blocking Yarn+Corrugated Steel tape. At the same time. Two parallel steel wires are embedded in PE out sheath to offer high tensile. The cable is completed with a PE sheath.
