Product Description
Stranded Loose Tube Air-Blown Micro Duct Cable – GCYFY
Product Description
The GCYFY Air-Blown Micro Duct Cable adopts a stranded loose tube construction, delivering superior optical performance and reliability for next-generation communication networks. Its compact, lightweight, and highly flexible structure is specially optimized for air-blown installation, enabling rapid, labor-saving deployment over long distances with minimal disruption.
Each loose tube contains premium optical fibers surrounded by water-blocking gel, providing excellent moisture resistance and long-term protection against water ingress. The stranded configuration distributes stress evenly, improving tensile performance during blowing and pulling, while the durable outer sheath ensures UV resistance, crush resistance, and environmental stability even in extreme temperatures.
The GCYFY cable supports single-mode and multi-mode fibers, making it suitable for high-speed transmission applications, including FTTx access networks, 5G base station backhaul, metro networks, enterprise data centers, and campus backbone systems. With a high fiber count per cross-section, this design maximizes duct utilization and reduces total cost of ownership.
For operators and ISPs looking to build scalable, future-ready networks, the GCYFY air-blown micro duct cable offers fast installation, low maintenance, and long service life, ensuring reliable connectivity for years to come.

Features
The GCYFY stranded loose tube air-blown micro cable uses a non-metallic strength member and an armor-free design, making it suitable for both pulling and air-blown installation in pre-laid protective microducts. This air-blown deployment method overcomes the limitations of traditional pipeline cable installation, significantly improving duct utilization and simplifying future network expansion.
