Stranded Loose Tube Non-metallic Strength Member Cable (GYHTY)

The fibers, 250μ M, are positioned in a loose tube made of a high modulus plastic. The tubes are filled with a water-resistant filling compound. A Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) locates in the center of core as a non-metallic strength member. The tubes (and fillers) are stranded around the strength member into a compact and circular core. After the cable core is filled with filling compound, it is covered with thin PE (polyethylene) inner sheath. Then, a layer of aramid yarn is applied as additional strength member and the cable is completed with a polyethylene (PE) outer sheath.
