GYXTW 2–12F Unitube Steel-Tape Armored Aerial Duct Fiber Optic Cable
GYXTW 2–12F Unitube Steel-Tape Armored Aerial Duct Fiber Optic Cable with documented armored construction at 2-12F. Match armor and jacket to the route before quoting.

Product summary
This page is reserved for the BWNFiber GYXTW 2–12F unitube steel-tape armored fiber optic cable configuration listed with G.652.D fiber. The supplied record also contains the values 1.95 and 7, but its construction-table headers do not safely establish whether these are a component dimension, sheath dimension or finished-cable diameter. Confirm the approved drawing or datasheet before using either value for route fit, clamp selection or quotation release.
Quick selection answer
Select the 2–12F fiber-count range and confirm G.652.D, the approved finished-cable diameter and the count-specific drum specification. Send total length, length per drum or roll, quantity, marking text and destination in the RFQ. Do not combine values from the unresolved construction and packing columns.

Construction and application boundary
The source identifies a unitube cable with steel-tape armor and parallel steel-wire reinforcement. Keep the finished construction drawing attached to the approved record. The current page supports the wording “duct fiber routes”; it does not by itself prove self-supporting aerial use, direct burial, UV performance, rodent resistance, flame rating or any named standard. Those claims remain TBC — source required.
Optical characteristics
The supplied record lists these values. Keep each value paired with its condition and confirm the applicable G.652.D datasheet/test method before publication or link-budget use.
| Parameter / condition | Supplied value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Attenuation at 1310 nm | ≤ 0.36 dB/km | Source-listed; confirm test basis |
| Attenuation at 1550 nm | ≤ 0.22 dB/km | Source-listed; confirm test basis |
| Cable cut-off wavelength | ≤ 1260 nm | Source-listed; confirm fiber grade |
| Zero-dispersion wavelength | 1300–1324 nm | Source-listed; confirm revision |
| Zero-dispersion slope | ≤ 0.092 ps/(nm²·km) | Source-listed; confirm unit formatting |
| Chromatic dispersion | Values supplied for 1288–1339 nm, 1271–1360 nm, 1550 nm and 1625 nm | Source table requires engineering formatting review |
| PMD | ≤ 0.2 ps/km¹ᐟ² | Source-listed; confirm test basis |
| Mode-field diameter at 1310 nm | 9.2 ± 0.4 μm | Source-listed; confirm fiber grade |
| Cladding diameter | 125.0 ± 0.7 μm | Source-listed |
| Primary coating diameter | 245 ± 5 μm | Source-listed |
These are not a complete installed-link loss allowance; connectors, splices and route design must be assessed separately where applicable.
Mechanical and environmental fields
| Condition | Supplied value | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Operating temperature | −40°C to +60°C | Confirm source label/revision |
| Storage/transport temperature | −40°C to +60°C | Confirm source label/revision |
| Installation temperature | −10°C to +50°C | Confirm source label/revision |
| Tensile, crush and bend limits | Not safely mapped in supplied record | TBC — source required |
Do not add tensile strength, crush resistance, bend radius, installation method or standards from another GYXTW product.
How to select and quote
- Select the required fiber count within 2–12F.
- Confirm the approved G.652.D fiber record.
- Confirm the finished-cable diameter, tolerance and component dimensions from the current drawing.
- Confirm the mechanical and environmental limits for the selected configuration.
- State total cable length, length per drum or roll, quantity, marking text and delivery destination.
- Request the approved datasheet, construction drawing and any required test document.
Packing
The supplied packing table includes 2/4/8/12F, 2000 m, and drum fields labelled D and B, but the column mapping is not reliable in the current record. do not use for order release or quote the drum length/dimensions until a count-specific packing table is approved.
Interfaces and compatibility
This is a bulk cable record; connectors, polarity, gender, end-face and transceiver compatibility are not specified. If a terminated assembly is required, request a separate configuration review rather than inferring an interface from the GYXTW model name.
RFQ CTA
Request a GYXTW 2–12F configuration review and quotation. Include the exact fiber count, G.652.D requirement, total length, drum/roll requirement, marking text, destination and any approved route or test-document requirement.

Image handling
Keep the supplied image at images/GYXTW 2 to 12F Uni Tube Fiber Cable, Aerial Duct.png only after MIME, dimensions, decode and P181 identity are checked. Do not generate or redraw a product cross-section, test report or certification image.
FAQ
What fiber-count range does this page cover?
The supplied record covers 2–12F. Select the exact count in the approved order table.
What fiber type is listed?
G.652.D is listed. Confirm the current datasheet revision and test basis before approving an optical budget.
What does the 1.95 value mean?
The current source table does not establish this safely. It is marked TBC — source required until engineering confirms the field and unit.
Is 7 mm the finished cable diameter?
The source table labels 7 as overall diameter, but does not provide a clear unit/tolerance mapping. Confirm the approved drawing before route or clamp selection.
Is this cable approved for aerial installation?
The supplied page title includes aerial/duct wording, while the body states duct fiber routes. Aerial qualification, especially self-supporting use, is not proven and must be confirmed by engineering.
What should I include in an RFQ?
Send the fiber count, total length, length per drum or roll, quantity, marking text and delivery destination. Add the required datasheet, drawing, fiber grade and route conditions.
