 Direct Buried Optical Fiber Cable: Categories & Features

The direct-buried fiber optic cables allow underground laying without usage of additional pipes. The cables stand up with added mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and environmental and biological hazards to rodents, termites, and fire. Below is a breakdown of the key categories, product models, features, and application scenarios.

 

Anti-Rodent Armored Cables

These cables have been uniquely shielded to prevent any rodent and termite bites throughout their buried long-term use.

Key Products

GYFTA53-1: PSP armor + APLD (Aluminum Polyethylene Laminate with Steel Tape)

GYFTA54-1: PSP armor + Glass yarn tape + Nylon outer sheath

Features

Double PE/Nylon sheath for added physical and biological protection

Anti-rodent & termite protection

Stranded loose-tube design with water-blocking elements

Applications

Underground installations in biologically active zones

Telecom networks, where rodent damage risk is high

 

All-Dielectric Armored Cables

Adopting all-dielectric construction also diminishes electro-magnetic interference (EMI), and thus make them ideal for burial near power lines and electrified railways.

Key Product

GYFY53: FRP Central Strength Member (CSM) + PSP armor + Double PE sheath

Features

Non-metallic core with dielectric strength members (FRP)

Double-sheathed, moisture and rodent-resistant

Lower electromagnetic conductivity

Applications

Direct burial near electrical infrastructure

Environments requiring non-metallic cable solutions

 

Fire-Resistant Armored Cables 

Their construction allows them to function in situations where temperature is elevated or fire is imminent.

Key Product

GYFZS53: Fire-resistant structure + PSP armor + Double PE sheath

Features

Fire-retardant materials

High thermal and flame resistance

Ideal for safety-critical applications

Applications

Tunnels, subways, or subsea installations

Areas requiring enhanced fire protection

 

Standard Armored Cables

Typical direct-burial cables, durable and with low rodent protection provided.

Key Product

GYTS53: PSP armor + Double PE sheath

Features

Standard mechanical protection

Suitable for common underground applications

Cost-effective option for basic telecom projects

 

Applications

General underground telecom networks

Stable environments with moderate risk exposure
