FAQ

What is an outdoor armoured fiber optic cable?

An outdoor armoured fiber optic cable is designed for fiber network installations where additional mechanical protection is required. It is commonly used in telecommunications, FTTH and outdoor network infrastructure.

What core sizes are available?

ETL offers this product range in 4-core, 6-core, 8-core, 12-core and 24-core configurations.

Is this cable single mode?

Yes. This product range is intended for single mode fiber optic applications.

Can I buy the cable by the metre?

Selected core configurations are available by the metre. Other configurations may be supplied in rolls or drums depending on availability.

Is 24-core fiber suitable for telecom projects?

24-core fiber optic cable can be suitable for higher-capacity fiber distribution and telecommunications infrastructure applications, subject to the project’s required fiber count and cable specification.

What is the difference between GYXTW and GYTS?

GYXTW and GYTS refer to different fiber optic cable constructions. The appropriate construction depends on the required mechanical protection, installation environment and project specification. Contact ETL to confirm the suitable cable construction.

Can ETL supply fiber optic cable for bulk or project requirements?

Yes. For bulk quantities or project requirements, customers can contact ETL for product matching, availability and quotation.

How do I choose between 4-core, 6-core, 8-core, 12-core and 24-core?

The required core count depends on the number of fibers required for the network and any planned expansion. For project applications, provide your required fiber count and installation requirements to ETL for product matching.
