GCYFXTY Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable

GCYFXTY Air Blown Fiber Optic Cable


GCYFXTY Air Blown Cable is a loose tube made of a high modulus material with a 250µm single-mode or multi-mode fiber. 


The tube is filled with a non-toxic and harmless waterproof compound, and the loose tube is twisted with a non-metallic reinforcing element. Then extruded black or colored high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath into cable.


With years of experience in blown fiber cable manufacturing, TUOLIMA has its own advantages in blown fiber cable. Welcome to sonsult us for more information about our blown fiber cable. As a professional fiber optic manufacturer, we also have different types of optical fibre for our customers. If you are interested, feel free to contact us.
