GYXTC8Y 2-24F Figure-8 Self-Supporting Aerial Fiber Optic Cable

GYXTC8Y

Product value summary

GYXTC8Y is a Figure-8 self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable family that combines a loose-tube cable body with an integrated metallic messenger. Select the exact BWNFiber configuration by the approved fiber count, fiber grade, messenger construction, finished cable profile, mechanical limits, route conditions, packing plan, and required documents. The model name alone is not a complete purchasing specification.

Short answer for buyers

Use this page to identify the required GYXTC8Y variant and prepare a technically complete quotation request. Before ordering, confirm the fiber count, fiber grade, full cable dimensions, messenger construction, installation and service limits, aerial route, clamps and pole hardware, drum length, marking, quantity, destination, and acceptance documents. BWNFiber must confirm the final configuration against the controlled datasheet and drawing.

Candidate product facts awaiting source approval

Candidate count-group rows — do not use for order release before engineering review

The values above are a source-recovery aid, not approved public specifications. Do not combine them with P019, P020, competitor, or armored-page values.

Cable construction and field definitions

A Figure-8 profile places the messenger and optical cable body in one connected sheath profile. For quotation and hardware review, distinguish the messenger diameter, messenger sheath, web width/height, loose-tube outside diameter, cable-body diameter, and overall Figure-8 height. Ask for the approved cross-section drawing; do not use one dimension as a substitute for another.

Is this configuration suitable for your aerial route?

Do not select a GYXTC8Y cable from fiber count alone. Provide the span, sag/tension requirements, wind and ice conditions, clearance, pole and attachment details, clamp/hardware proposal, installation method, ambient conditions, route length, and local requirements. BWNFiber and the route designer should confirm the final cable and hardware combination against the approved datasheet and engineering limits.

When not to substitute another cable

• Do not substitute the armored Figure-8 product unless the required construction and mechanical limits match the approved order.
• Do not substitute GYXTC8S, GYTC8Y, ADSS, drop cable, duct cable, or direct-burial cable based on a similar name or shape.
• Do not transfer dimensions, loads, bend limits, packing, or test values from another supplier or BWNFiber variant.

Optical, mechanical, and environmental data

Insert only the reviewed count-specific values from the controlled BWNFiber datasheet. Keep wavelength, average/maximum condition, unit, test method, and fiber grade in separate fields. Mechanical rows must identify short-term versus long-term or installation versus service conditions. Environmental rows must distinguish operating, storage/transport, and installation ranges.

Documents and acceptance evidence

Before quotation or order approval, request the documents that apply to the selected configuration:

• controlled product datasheet and revision;
• cross-section drawing with defined dimensions;
• fiber and cable parameter table;
• applicable test method and acceptance limits;
• sample test-report format, if available and agreed;
• packing/drum specification;
• marking and label approval;
• any required compliance declaration supported by the ordered product.

Availability and scope are TBC — BWNFiber confirmation required.

Packing and procurement information

P180 transcribes separate 2,000 m packing rows for GYXTC8Y-2-12C and GYXTC8Y-24C, with different outer drum dimensions. Treat these as candidate count-specific data, not a universal standard length. Confirm drum material, nominal length, tolerance, count/configuration, gross/net weight, dimensions, marking, handling, and destination requirements in the quotation.

What is a GYXTC8Y cable?

GYXTC8Y is a Figure-8 self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable family with a loose-tube cable body and an integrated metallic messenger. The complete construction and limits depend on the approved variant, so the model name is not a complete order specification.

Does this BWNFiber GYXTC8Y family cover 2–24 fibers?

The P180 cover says 2–24F, but its source table and folder labels are inconsistent. BWNFiber must confirm the approved count range and count-specific rows before this range is published.

Which fiber type does P180 specify?

The supplied P180 draft states G.652.D. The controlled datasheet must confirm that grade and the optical limits for every published variant.

Is this GYXTC8Y cable armored?

The supplied P180 evidence does not establish an armor layer. Do not treat it as interchangeable with BWNFiber’s armored Figure-8 product until the BOM and cross-section drawing are approved.

What cable dimensions should be used for clamp or entry-port selection?

Use the finished cable-body diameter and overall Figure-8 height from the approved count-specific drawing. Do not substitute the loose-tube diameter, sheath thickness, messenger diameter, or another variant’s dimensions.

What is the maximum aerial span?

No span is approved by the supplied P180 draft. Span suitability depends on the cable’s declared mechanical limits, cable weight, messenger, sag/tension, wind and ice conditions, clamps, pole hardware, clearance, and route design.

Can the attenuation values be used as the complete link budget?

No. Fiber or cabled-fiber attenuation is only one part of a link budget. The design must also account for route length, splices, connectors, passive components, operating wavelength, margins, and the applicable system requirements.

Is 2,000 m the standard drum length for every order?

No universal drum length is confirmed. P180 contains candidate 2,000 m rows for two count groups, but the final drum length, tolerance, dimensions, marking, and packing must be confirmed in the quotation.

What documents should a buyer request?

Request the controlled datasheet, cross-section drawing, parameter table, applicable test and acceptance information, packing specification, and any required compliance declaration supported by the ordered configuration.

What should be included in a GYXTC8Y quotation request?

Include the count, fiber grade, route and span conditions, cable profile and messenger, mechanical/environmental requirements, hardware, total and per-drum length, quantity, marking, packing, destination, required documents, and project timing.
