Optical Fiber Cable for Short-Distance Line | Best Solutions for Route Shortage

Author: James     Publish Time: 28-03-2025      Origin: Site

 

 Introduction of Optical Fiber Cable for Short-Distance Line (Route Shortage)


With the rapid development of metropolitan area networks and access networks, fewer and fewer urban duct and hole resources are available. The improvement of urban municipal construction management makes it harder and harder to acquire approval for excavation and installation of cable systems. However, the communication network structure is scattered geographically. 

 

Thus the mass installation of optical cables is facing a conflict between high costs and low utilization. The above problems bring challenges such as routing selection and routing shortage to constructing optical cable cabling. Based on network construction experience and considerable advantages in optical cable manufacturing, ZION proposes dedicated optical cables for line shortages. Optical cable products for different routing scenarios are listed as follows:



 Product Summaries


  • GLFXTS Roader Micro-trench Uni-Tube Fibers Aramid PSP Armored Fiber Optic Cable

    This cable is a reliable optical fiber cable for micro trenching work. It is designed with a uni-tube configuration accommodating either single-mode or multimode fiber and with aramid yarns for tensile strength, while steel tape is added for protection (PSP armor). The sheath created from polyethylene (PE) enhances its durability, making it viable for implementation in adverse environments with limited space.


  • GPTCA63 Ducting Laying in Waiver Sewer Stranded Loose Tubes APL Aramid Yarns Armored Fiber Optic Cable

    Ducting and sewer applications are the target for this kind of cable. With aramid yarns providing its strength and an aluminum tape (APL) armor, it uses stranded loose tubes to house the fibers and serve as the primary protective system. Greater installation flexibility and resistance to moisture and physical stress are the good points of its design, which is oriented to underground settings.


  • GYTA Small 60-144F High-density Fibers in Duct Micro Stranded Loose Tubes CSM APL Armored Fiber Optic Cable

    Intended for densely packed (60-144 fibers) fiber applications, the cable is designed with micro stranded loose tubes and a typically steel-based central strength member (CSM). To guarantee its safety, it is armored with aluminum tape (APL), and with that done, the cable is optimized for duct installations, where balancing compactness with capacity for large-scale connectivity needs is key.
