Quick Product Summary

This proposed BWNFiber product page covers a loose-tube, single-mode duct cable in 24-fiber and 48-fiber configurations. The working family designation is GYFY. Before ordering, the buyer and BWNFiber should confirm the selected fiber count, approved construction drawing, finished-cable dimensions, mechanical limits, installation method, reel schedule and required acceptance documents.

Current approval status: The 24F/48F variant mapping and numeric specification table require BWNFiber engineering approval. Do not use this draft as a released datasheet.

Primary action: Send the route and configuration inputs listed below to request a reviewed datasheet and quotation.

Do not combine one variant’s tube map, diameter or packing data with the other variant. The approved quotation and datasheet should identify one complete configuration.

Cable Construction

The supplied BWNFiber draft and schematic indicate a stranded loose-tube design with a central strength member, water-blocking elements, a ripcord and an outer sheath. The source draft identifies PBT loose tubes, an FRP central strength member and a PE outer sheath; these material statements must be checked against the approved 24F and 48F drawing before release.

Draft caption: Watermarked construction schematic supplied with the source package. Use it as a visual reference only; it is not an approved dimensional drawing or test record.

The cable-fiber attenuation values, once approved, do not represent a complete installed-link budget. Connectors, splices, route length, repair allowance and test method must be handled separately in the project design and acceptance plan.

Duct Route Compatibility and Selection Conditions

Use this product page only for an approved duct-route configuration. Before selection, provide:

  1. Whether the route will use pulling, blowing/jetting or another approved method.
  2. Duct and innerduct dimensions, route length, bends, chambers and entry constraints.
  3. Required fiber count and fiber specification.
  4. Maximum reel length and site handling limits.
  5. Required finished-cable tensile, crush, bend and temperature limits.
  6. Local jacket, fire, environmental and documentation requirements.

The product name alone does not establish direct-burial, self-supporting aerial, indoor fire-rating, rodent-resistance, UV-resistance or air-blowing suitability. Add those claims only when the exact configuration has supporting evidence.

How to Select the Correct Configuration

  1. Confirm the route. Separate duct sections from aerial, direct-burial and indoor transitions.
  2. Choose the fiber count. Select 24F or 48F based on the approved network design and spare-fiber policy.
  3. Approve the fiber and construction. Confirm the G.652.D requirement, tube map, strength system, water-blocking design and sheath.
  4. Check the finished cable against the route. Use the approved diameter, pulling load, bend radius and temperature limits—not generic fiber rules.
  5. Approve the reel schedule and marking. Confirm total length, length per reel, tolerance, drum dimensions and cable legend.
  6. Define acceptance evidence. State which datasheet, drawing, test report or inspection record must accompany the quotation, sample or production lot.

Testing, Documents and Approval Boundaries

Ask BWNFiber to identify which documents are available for the exact quoted variant:

  • Approved product datasheet
  • Construction drawing with tube/fiber map
  • Cable-marking sample
  • Reel/drum schedule
  • Applicable type-test or routine-test list
  • Lot-specific inspection or test record, if offered
  • Packaging and shipping-mark details

No test method, result, standard compliance or certification is promised in this draft. A sample or first-article approval does not automatically approve every later production lot; define the production acceptance evidence in the purchase order or quality agreement.

Request a Reviewed Configuration and Quotation

Send BWNFiber your selected fiber count, duct route, placement method, total length, reel schedule, required limits, marking and document list. Ask for a configuration-matched datasheet and quotation before approving the product for a project.

Primary CTA: Request the approved 24F/48F configuration and quotation

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this page cover both 24F and 48F cable?

It is intended to, but BWNFiber engineering must approve the 48F applicability and the one-row-per-variant specification matrix before publication.

Is GYFY the final model number?

GYFY is the working cable-family designation found in the supplied source trace. A sellable BWNFiber model or SKU has not been verified and must be assigned or approved.

Is this cable the same as GYFTY or GYFTZ?

Not automatically. Similar family names can represent different construction, filling, strength and sheath choices. Use the approved drawing and datasheet rather than treating the names as interchangeable.

Can this cable be installed by pulling or blowing?

The product is intended for a duct route, but the allowed placement method and equipment limits are TBC. Confirm the finished cable’s approved pulling/blowing suitability, tensile load and bend radius before planning the installation.

Can it be installed directly in the ground?

Direct-burial suitability is not verified. Specify an approved armored/direct-burial construction when the cable will not remain inside a suitable duct system.

What dimensions apply to the 24F and 48F versions?

The supplied table has an unresolved multi-column alignment issue. Use only an engineering-approved variant table; do not assume that one diameter or weight applies to both versions.

What optical attenuation applies?

The draft source includes optical values, but its parameter labels and applicability require approval. Request the released optical table for the selected fiber and variant.

Do cable attenuation values equal the installed-link loss budget?

No. An installed-link budget also accounts for route length, connectors, splices, engineering margin and the agreed test method.

What should be confirmed before a bulk order?

Confirm the model, fiber count, fiber grade, construction drawing, dimensions, mechanical/environmental limits, reel schedule, cable marking, acceptance documents and commercial terms.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send the required fiber count, route and placement method, duct/innerduct details, total length, reel schedule, mechanical/environmental requirements, marking, document requirements and delivery destination.

Are price, MOQ and lead time fixed?

No fixed values were verified for this page. They must be confirmed in a current quotation for the approved build and quantity.

Can BWNFiber provide a datasheet, drawing or test report?

Document availability is TBC. Request only configuration-matched documents and identify which records are required before quotation or order approval.
