Product applicationLoose‑tube laminated outdoor armoured optical cable GDX311 is designed for direct burial or installation in ducts for long‑distance outdoor telecommunications and industrial backbones. The cable places colored optical fibers inside loose tubes, applies corrugated steel armour and a wire‑center reinforcement, inserts water‑blocking material between armour and tubes, and extrudes a PE outer sheath to protect fibers from mechanical and environmental stress.
Product features- Corrugated steel armour combined with a wire‑center reinforcement provides enhanced tensile and compressive strength and resistance to external mechanical damage.
- Loose‑tube construction with colored fibers simplifies identification and splicing operations.
- PE outer sheath offers UV and weather resistance suitable for outdoor exposure.
- Outer sheath includes a blue identification strip for easy network marking.
Product performance- Allowable tensile force: Long‑term 600 N; Short‑term 1500 N.
- Allowable crush force: Long‑term 300 N/100 mm; Short‑term 1000 N/100 mm.
- Bending radius: Dynamic 20 × D; Static 10 × D (D = cable diameter).
- Ambient temperature: Storage/transport/use −40 °C to +70 °C; Installation −15 °C to +50 °C.
- Standards & optical fiber: Exceeds ANSI/TIA‑568.3‑D, IEC 60794, YD/T 901; fiber characteristics meet ITU‑T G.561, ITU‑T G.652.D and IEC 60793.
