GYXY 2-24F Unitube Non-Armored Fiber Optic Cable

GYXY

Verified Product Scope and Open Items

Cable Construction

The supplied product image and V4 record show six labeled elements:

1. optical fibers;
2. tube-filling compound;
3. central loose tube;
4. two steel wires;
5. water-blocking material; and
6. PE sheath.

Image QA note: supplied 800 × 800 WebP with a visible BWinners watermark. Confirm that the image depicts the quoted variant and that BWNFiber has approved reuse rights before publication.

Technical Specifications

Mechanical table — blocked pending variant mapping

The supplied record contains two different weight/tensile sets for the same fiber-count groups but does not provide an additional variant identifier. They are reproduced only for reconciliation and must not be presented as order-ready specifications.

D means the confirmed cable outside diameter. Because diameter is not supplied, the bend radius cannot yet be converted into millimeters.

Optical values — candidate catalog entries

Environmental value — candidate catalog entry

The supplied record lists storage and operating temperature as −40 °C to +70 °C. The installation-temperature range is not supplied. Treat all three conditions separately and obtain the configuration-specific test basis before approval.

Interfaces and Connector Options

This is a bulk cable page. No connector, polish, pinning or pre-termination option is established by the supplied record. If a connectorized link is required, specify it as a separate cable-assembly scope and confirm both end interfaces, breakout, pulling protection, optical acceptance limits and finished length.

How to Select a GYXY Configuration

1. Define the network role and complete route, including every indoor/outdoor transition.
2. State the proposed installation method. Do not infer duct, aerial or direct-burial approval from the word “outdoor.”
3. Select one exact fiber grade and fiber count; include working fibers, redundancy and planned reserve.
4. Confirm the construction: central loose tube, two parallel steel wires, water-blocking system and PE sheath.
5. Obtain the cable outside diameter and the correct mechanical row for the selected variant.
6. Define length per drum, quantity, sheath marking, packaging and destination.
7. Agree on the datasheet, drawing, test criteria and inspection records required for approval.
8. Freeze the approved part number and document revisions before production.

GYXY vs Related Cable Families

These distinctions are page-routing aids, not an approval matrix. Use controlled drawings and datasheets for the final comparison.

Compatibility and Application Conditions

The supplied record describes “outdoor fiber access and distribution,” but it does not establish a specific installation route. Before approving a GYXY configuration, confirm:

• duct dimensions, occupancy, entry seals and pulling method for a duct route;
• support method, span, sag, wind, ice, hardware and cable load data for an aerial route;
• burial declaration, water management, soil, rodent and protection conditions for a buried route;
• pathway rating and transition point where the route enters a building; and
• closure, splice tray, gland, clamp and termination-hardware fit using the confirmed cable diameter.

Testing and Approval Documents

IEC 60794-1-21 defines mechanical test procedures for optical fiber cables, but citing the standard does not prove that this GYXY configuration was tested or passed. ITU-T G.652 and G.655 define fiber/cable characteristics for their respective single-mode categories; they do not approve the complete cable construction.

Before release, ask for the applicable configuration-specific evidence:

Factory cable evidence does not replace installed-link commissioning. Continuity, splice/connector loss and OTDR requirements belong to the completed-link acceptance plan.

Packaging and Procurement Information

RFQ Checklist

Send one line for each required configuration:

• reference model: GYXY;
• application, route and installation method;
• exact fiber grade and fiber count;
• required cable construction and strength elements;
• sheath material, color and project rating requirements;
• required cable diameter or pathway/clamp/gland limits;
• tensile, crush, bend and temperature requirements;
• total length, length per drum and quantity;
• sheath marking, labels, packaging and destination;
• required datasheet, drawing, sample, test record or inspection stage; and
• target schedule and any approved deviations.

Datasheet, Drawing and Test-Report Area

• Configuration-specific datasheet: TBC — approved file required
• Cable cross-section drawing: TBC — approved revision required
• Mechanical/environmental test evidence: TBC — exact model and acceptance criteria required
• Packing/drum plan: TBC — order-specific document required

Request a GYXY Configuration Review

Send BWNFiber your cable schedule, route drawing, reference part or the RFQ fields above. Ask for a response that identifies the proposed part number, unresolved fields, controlled documents and quotation assumptions. Do not release a bulk order until the duplicated mechanical rows and all project-specific TBC items are resolved in writing.

What fiber counts does this GYXY record cover?

The supplied record lists 2–24 fibers. Confirm the exact available count and part number on the current controlled datasheet before quotation approval.

Is GYXY an armored cable?

The reviewed construction does not show a separate armor layer. It does show two parallel steel wires, so “non-armored” must not be rewritten as “non-metallic” or “all-dielectric.”

What is the difference between GYXY and GYFXY?

In the reviewed BWNFiber records, GYXY uses two parallel steel wires, while GYFXY uses two parallel FRP strength members. Confirm the approved BOM and drawing because a model label alone is not enough for order approval.

What is the difference between GYXY and GYXTW?

The reviewed GYXTW family includes a separate steel-tape armor layer; the reviewed GYXY construction does not. Mechanical values and installation permissions still depend on the exact configuration.

Which fiber options are listed?

The source lists G.652, G.655, 50/125 µm and 62.5/125 µm as alternatives. The exact subtype, availability and optical acceptance criteria require engineering confirmation.

Which mechanical row should I use?

Do not choose one yet. The source repeats the same fiber-count groups with two weight/tensile classes but provides no variant identifier. Ask BWNFiber engineering to map each row to an exact part number and diameter.

What bend radius applies?

The source states 10D static and 20D dynamic, but the cable diameter D is missing. Obtain the confirmed outside diameter and verify which candidate row applies before calculating a bend radius in millimeters.

Can this cable be installed in a duct?

The current source does not provide a controlled installation-method declaration. Confirm duct size, pulling method, tensile limit, crush risk, bend control, water management and the exact model’s approved use.

Can this cable be installed aerially or directly buried?

Not from the current evidence alone. Aerial and buried routes require different support, mechanical and environmental evidence. Do not infer either permission from “outdoor” or “non-armored.”

What should be included in a GYXY quotation request?

Provide the route and installation method, fiber grade and count, construction requirements, dimensions or pathway constraints, mechanical/environmental requirements, drum plan, quantity, marking, destination, schedule and required approval documents.
