GYFXY 2-24F Unitube Non-Metallic Non-Armored Fiber Optic Cable

GYFXY

Product value summary

The GYFXY page is intended for buyers specifying a 2–24-fibre unitube outdoor cable where the reinforcement material, fibre grade, route, mechanical limits, cable size, and drum plan must be confirmed before quotation. The supplied construction graphic labels two parallel FRP members, a loose tube, water-blocking material, and a PE sheath; BWNFiber engineering must approve that construction because one internal source line conflicts with the graphic.

Send the required fibre count, fibre grade, installation route, total length, drum length, marking, destination, and requested technical documents for configuration review.

Short answer: what is GYFXY cable?

GYFXY is presented in the supplied BWNFiber working record as a 2–24F, unitube, non-metallic, non-armored fiber optic cable with a PE sheath. The construction image labels two parallel FRP strength members. This description is pending engineering approval and must not be used as a released specification until the FRP-versus-steel source conflict is resolved.

Key features — pending engineering approval

• Cable structure: one loose tube with water-blocking material — TBC — approved drawing required.
• Strength members: two parallel FRP members — TBC — resolve conflicting source text.
• Outer sheath: PE — TBC — grade, thickness, colour, and environmental qualification required.
• Armor: no metallic armor stated in the working product name — TBC — approved BOM required.
• Fibre options: TBC — exact ITU/IEC grade and supplier-approved option list required.

Technical specifications

Fibre type and optical options

Do not combine values from different fibre rows. BWNFiber must first confirm the exact orderable grade, not only a generic family name.

ITU-T G.652 and G.655 define different single-mode fibre families; the standards provide background definitions but do not prove BWNFiber’s offered grade or finished-cable performance.

Interfaces and connector options

This is a bulk cable page. No connectors, polish types, fan-outs, or pre-terminated interfaces are supported by the supplied evidence.

• Cable ends: TBC — bulk cable/reel configuration to be confirmed.
• Connectorized assemblies: not included in this draft.
• Splice closure, termination hardware, glands, clamps, and accessories: select separately after the route and cable diameter are confirmed.

Compatibility and application conditions

The supplied V4 describes outdoor access and distribution use. Before treating the cable as suitable for a route, confirm:

1. installation method and support condition;
2. duct inner diameter, fill, pulling route, and entry size where applicable;
3. span, support spacing, clamp design, sag/tension, wind, and ice where applicable;
4. burial, conduit, rodent, impact, flame, and water-exposure requirements;
5. temperature during installation, operation, and storage;
6. required fibre grade and optical link design;
7. local code, project specification, and acceptance method.

TBC — BWNFiber engineering must identify which route types are approved for this exact construction.

How to select the correct GYFXY configuration

1. Confirm the model boundary. Require the approved GYFXY drawing and verify that the reinforcement matches the project requirement.
2. Choose one fibre count and one exact fibre grade. Do not merge values from alternative rows.
3. Define the route. State whether the project uses duct, supported aerial, self-supporting aerial, conduit, tray, direct burial, or another method.
4. Check physical fit. Match the approved overall diameter and bend limits to ducts, entries, glands, clamps, and routing space.
5. Check mechanical limits. Compare approved installation and service loads with the route design and handling plan.
6. Define acceptance evidence. State the required datasheet, drawing, fibre certificate, test report, reel record, and marking record.
7. Set the drum plan. Provide total length, length per drum, tolerance, end allowance, and destination constraints.

Difference from related products

No two model codes should be treated as interchangeable because their fibre count or outer sheath appears similar. The approved drawing, reinforcement material, dimensions, mechanical limits, route suitability, and order code must match.

Use cases

Potential use is outdoor access or distribution cable, as stated in the supplied V4. Specific duct, aerial, direct-burial, power-corridor, indoor/outdoor, rodent-resistant, flame-rated, or self-supporting applications are TBC — source required.

Testing and quality-control process

Before production or shipment, agree which evidence is required. The supplied materials do not prove that each document below is currently available.

Do not request or promise insertion loss, return loss, OTDR traces, certification, or a standard test package unless the supplied configuration and contract require them and BWNFiber confirms the method and deliverable.

Packaging and procurement information

• Total order length: buyer to specify.
• Length per drum/reel: buyer to specify; availability TBC.
• Length tolerance and end allowance: TBC.
• Drum type, dimensions, gross/net weight, and weather protection: TBC.
• Cable marking text and interval: buyer to specify; capability TBC.
• MOQ, sample policy, price, lead time, warranty, origin documents, and export documents: TBC — commercial confirmation required.

Information required for an RFQ

Final RFQ CTA

Request a GYFXY specification review. Send the configuration and route details above so BWNFiber can confirm the correct model, identify the supporting documents available, and prepare a quotation. Do not release an order against this draft alone.

Is GYFXY an all-dielectric cable?

The supplied construction graphic labels FRP strength members and no metallic armor, which would support a non-metallic construction. One internal source sentence conflicts with that graphic, so BWNFiber engineering must approve the BOM before the page states that the cable is all-dielectric.

What is the difference between GYFXY and GYXY?

The current internal drafts distinguish GYFXY by FRP reinforcement and GYXY by steel-wire reinforcement. Treat that as a proposed model boundary, not a released fact, until an approved model-code matrix and drawings confirm it.

Which fibre counts are covered?

The working record lists 2–24F in two count groups: 2–12F and 14–24F. BWNFiber must confirm the offered increments, suffix rules, dimensions, and performance row for each order code.

Can GYFXY be installed in a duct or aerial route?

Route suitability is not confirmed by the supplied evidence. Send the installation method, support condition, route geometry, expected loads, temperature range, and local project requirements for engineering review.

Which fibre grades are available?

The V4 draft lists G.652, G.655, 50/125 µm, and 62.5/125 µm alternatives. Exact single-mode suffixes, multimode OM grades, and approved optical values remain TBC. Select one approved fibre grade for the order.

What dimensions should be checked before ordering?

Confirm overall cable diameter, entry/gland size, clamp range, duct fill, routing clearance, and minimum bend radius. The current source does not provide an approved diameter table.

Which mechanical values apply to the selected count?

Use only the approved count-specific datasheet row and its stated long-term/short-term conditions. The V4 values remain blocked pending source and method approval.

What technical documents can be requested?

Ask for the approved datasheet, drawing, order-code matrix, fibre certificate, applicable test record, reel record, and marking plan. Availability and document format must be confirmed by BWNFiber.

Is this cable suitable for direct burial or rodent exposure?

No conclusion can be made from “non-armored” or “PE sheath” alone. State the burial, conduit, impact, water, and rodent conditions and obtain an approved product recommendation.

What should be included in the quotation request?

Provide the model, count, exact fibre grade, route, mechanical/environmental requirements, total and drum lengths, quantity, marking, packaging, documents, destination, Incoterm, and target schedule.
