Fiber Optic Cable

Fiber Optic Cable Manufacturer — GYTS, GYTA, ADS, ASU, Drop, Air-Blown Micro & Submarine Cable

FIBCONET has manufactured fiber optic cable in China for 12 Xyoos, running dedicated automated lines for stranded loose-tube, central-tube, txhawb yus tus kheej, air-blown micro and submarine cable series.

Combined output on our mainstream armored lines (GYTS / GYTA) reaches tens of millions of fiber-kilometers per year, with stock inventory maintained across 4–288-core standard configurations.

fiber optic cable structure

Every drum ships after 100% factory testing — attenuation, tensile, water penetration and end-of-drum OTDR trace — against IEC 60794 series and other applicable standards. Our submarine cable also complies with GB/T 18480, ITU-T G.976 and GJB 4489 military-grade specifications.

Below are the twelve cable series currently shipping to telecom operators, engineering contractors, power utilities and FTTH integrators across Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe. Each product page carries fiber count options, connector-ready pre-termination, and full mechanical / environmental specifications.

How to Choose the Right Fiber Optic Cable

Three questions determine the right cable for a project: where it’s installed, how many fibers it carries, Thiab what mechanical / environmental loads it faces.

1. Match the Cable to the Deployment Environment

Deployment Environment Recommended Series Why
DUCT / tsis muaj zog (standard telecom trunk) GYTS or GYTA Armored, high tensile, 20-kev pab hauv lub neej
aerial, lightning-prone region GYFTY / GYXTY (tsis yog hlau) or ADSS All-dielectric prevents lightning damage
Aerial along power lines (spans > 100 m) ADSS Single-Jacket (temperate) or Double-Jacket (coastal / icing) Self-supporting up to 300 m; aramid-yarn strength
Direct burial GYTA53 (double-jacket + steel-tape armor) or GYTA + PE conduit Rodent, crush and moisture protection
Microduct (existing or new) Air-Blown Micro Cable (GCYFY / GCYFXY) 1.8 mm minimum diameter, groove jacket for blow distance
Short-span aerial + duct dual-use ASU Cheaper than ADSS, higher tensile than standard drop cable
Aerial with integral messenger, mid-span Figure-8 GYXTC8S Built-in steel messenger, 5 kN tensile, 100 m span
FTTH outdoor drop GJYXCH bow-type self-supporting Steel or FRP messenger; G.657.A2 bend-insensitive fiber
FTTH indoor drop / riser GJXH indoor bow-type LSZH jacket for building fire code
Coastal, island interconnect, offshore Submarine cable (GYTA33 series) HDPE jacket, galvanized or Zn-Al armored steel wires
Power utility ground wire OPGW Composite power ground + optical cable

2. Calculate the Fiber Count You Need

A working formula: total equipment ports × 2, plus a 10–20% spare buffer. For serial-multiplexed devices the count can be lower. Standard fiber counts we stock: 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 96, 144, 288. Non-standard counts including 576-core (ADSS double-jacket) are available on request.

3. Match Jacket and Armor to the Load Profile

  • Standard PE — general outdoor, 20-kev pab hauv lub neej
  • UV-additive PE — extends outdoor life by ~5 years for high-solar regions
  • AT (los tiv thaiv nrhiav) PE HAWM — for ADSS installed near high-voltage lines to resist electrical corrosion
  • LSZH — low smoke zero halogen for tunnels, subways, data centres and indoor riser
  • HDPE — submarine, high-crush and pressure environments
  • Steel-tape armor (GYTS) — rodent protection, moisture, EMI shielding
  • Aluminum-tape armor (GYTA) — equivalent protection, lower weight, better in some corrosive environments
  • 316L stainless steel armor — coastal / marine upgrade for figure-8 messenger; Zn-Al plated for corrosion

Manufacturing Capability

Automated Production Lines with Inline Inspection

Our GYTS / GYTA lines run imported cabling machines, high-speed secondary coating equipment, and dual-layer co-extrusion jacket lines. Inline laser concentricity gauges and real-time OTDR scanners monitor every step. A three-stage water-blocking process controls excess fiber length, tape thermal bonding and jacket extrusion parameters through digital process control.

Annual Output & Stock Position

  • GYTS / GYTA: tens of millions of fiber-kilometers per year across all core counts, with 4–288-core standard configurations kept in stock
  • GYXTY: ~10,000 km per month
  • Indoor distribution cable: 5 production lines × 180 km per line per day
  • ADSS Single-Jacket: 12–48-core kept in stock; MOQ 1 km
  • ASU: 2–24-core standard in stock; same-day shipping for regular configurations
  • Figure-8: 2–48-core in stock across 4 dedicated extrusion lines

100% Drum-by-Drum Testing

  • Attenuation test on every drum before shipment — not sampling
  • Length tolerance strictly controlled within +1 mus rau +2 metres per drum
  • Per-drum OTDR trace archived and provided to buyer on request
  • Tensile, water-penetration and aging test reports available under IEC 60794 methodology

Container Loading & ntim

Standard drum length is 1–3 km per wooden reel for most trunk series; custom drum lengths supported on request. Approximate cable-length loading per container for figure-8 and similar profiles:

  • 20 GP container: 800 – 1,200 km of cable
  • 40 HQ container: 1,900 – 2,800 km of cable

Actual loading depends on cable diameter, drum size and stacking configuration — our sales team will calculate exact quantities against your PO.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fiber Optic Cable Sourcing

Q1. What is your minimum order quantity?

Standard trunk cable MOQ is 1 km. Indoor distribution cable also 1 km MOQ; custom-colour indoor cable requires 5 km. Submarine cable typically starts at 100 km due to the specialized production line setup. Bow-type drop cable ships from standard stock.

Q2. What is the standard lead time?

Regular 2–48-core GYTS / GYTA / GYXTY / ASU configurations ship from stock within days. Custom fiber counts, lengths or non-standard jackets: typically 15–25 working days depending on drum count. Submarine cable and 288-core+ builds require project-specific scheduling.

Q3. Which fiber grade do you use as default?

Txog 90% of our finished cable ships with G.652.D single-mode fiber. G.657.A1 and G.657.A2 bend-insensitive grades are our default for drop cable and tight-space installations. G.654.E for long-haul 400G+ backbone and OM3 / OM4 / OM5 multimode for data-centre indoor cable are available on request.

Q4. Can you provide OTDR traces and test reports per drum?

Muaj. Every drum ships after 100% attenuation testing, with the OTDR trace archived. Written test reports covering tensile, water penetration and thermal aging are available under IEC 60794 methodology on request — useful for project acceptance and customs clearance.

Q5. Can you customize drum length, colour and marking?

Muaj. Standard drums are 1–3 km; longer runs supported on request (e.g. ADSS in 500 m, 1200 m or segmented lengths). Jacket colour customization has a 5 km MOQ. Sequential metre marking, batch code and buyer logo can be printed to your specification.

faq

Q6. What certifications can you supply for European and North American markets?

Our cable ships with ISO 9001, CE, RoHS and IEC 60794 compliance as standard. UL / ETL certifications are supported for North American entry; CPR is available for cable installed in permanent European buildings. Third-party test reports and country-specific certification can be arranged per project.

Q7. How do I choose between GYTS, GYTA, GYFTY, ADSS and ASU?

Short answer: Siv GYTS or GYTA for standard duct / aerial trunk cabling; GYFTY when a non-metallic (unarmored) cable is required; ADSS single-jacket for aerial spans up to 300 m in temperate conditions, double-jacket for coastal salt-fog or ice-loaded spans; ASU for short-span aerial + duct dual-use where you want the strength of ADSS without the cost. Detailed matrix above.

Q8. Do you supply cables suitable for direct burial?

For direct burial we recommend GYTA53 (double-jacket with steel-tape armor) or GYTA with an additional PE protective conduit. Standard single-jacket ASU and ADSS are not designed for direct burial — the buried environment will corrode the jacket over time.

Q9. What is the warranty and service life?

Standard factory warranty is 1 Xyoo. Tsim qauv ua haujlwm ntev: 20 years for standard outdoor armored cable; 25–30 years for ADSS double-jacket and submarine cable; 15 years for ASU with 1:1 defect replacement if the failure is traced to manufacturing.

Q10. How much cable fits in a shipping container?

For figure-8 and similar profiles: a 20 GP container carries approximately 800–1,200 km of cable; a 40 HQ carries 1,900–2,800 km. Exact loading varies with cable OD, drum size and stacking. Provide us the drum spec and we’ll calculate loading before the PO is placed.
