Rodent-Resistant Fiber Optic Cables

■ Introduction:

Rodent-Resistant Fiber Optic Cables are tailored to survive and resist violence implied by rodents in open, underground, and hazardous areas. Zion Communication facilitates various services comprised of rodent-preventing fiber optic cable protection solutions such as armored fiber optic cables and non-metallic fiber optic cables, both of which are provided with a benefit of long-term performance and low maintenance. 

Introducing a rodent-proof fiber optic cable used for direct burial, aerial installations, or EMI-sensitive networks does not have to be a challenge because we have the best cable structures designed to suit your environment.

■ Product Series & Structures

Metal-Armored Rodent-Resistant Cables

These are wires that employ steel tape, stainless steel, or fine steel wires structure that have high resistance for mechanical tension and also provision for destruction of fiber optic cables by rodents.

Model	Structure Description	Key Features
GYTA53	Loose tube + APL aluminum inner armor + PSP steel tape outer armor + PE sheaths	Double-armored, strong crush resistance, best for direct burial
GYTS	Loose tube + Steel tape armor + PE sheath	Cost-effective, suitable for duct installation
GYTA43	Stainless steel tape armor, gel-filled tubes	High hardness, corrosion-resistant, ideal for tunnels and rail environments
GYXTS / GYQXT3S	Fine steel wire (0.45–1.6mm) armor with optional steel tape reinforcement	Lightweight, flexible, strong anti rodent protection

 

Non-Metallic Rodent-Resistant Cables

Suitable for elevators and AoE areas that are inadequately equipped with cellular coverage or are dangerous due to EMI.

Model	Structure Description	Key Features
GYFHTY63	FRP central strength + water-blocking yarn + glass yarn reinforcement + dual PE sheaths	Fully non-metallic, EMI-safe, used as anti rodent drop cable
Glass Yarn/FRP Cable	Glass fibers between sheath layers for passive rodent deterrence	Lightweight aerial use, installer caution required
Nylon Sheathed Cable	High-hardness nylon (PA) sheath	Excellent for indoor use and clean environments

 

Dry-Type Rodent-Resistant Cables

• The facility free from gel that uses water blocking yarn/tape 

• Maintenance free, clean, good for AI or data centers or indoor installations

■ Key Features

✅ Rodent Resistant Design: By utilizing metal / non-metallic coverings to properly gnaw-free design. 

✅ Mechanical Protection: Crush resistance, tensile strength for long spans used. 

✅ Water Blocking: Outdoor products would require a water-blocking gel or dry materials for bike ride durability. 

✅ Corrosion Resistance: Stainless steel and non-metallic mechanisms for tough working environments. 

✅ EMI Safe: All-weather composite models that suit those areas where sensitive electronics are present. 

✅ Flexible Installation: Underground, duct, aerial cables, and indoor as underground or busways.

■ Applications 

Direct Burial: GYTA53 and GYTS will be the cables types to be used for areas that have high risk for rodents. 

Railway / Tunnel: GYTA43 – special cover of stainless steel for hazardous environment. 

Aeronautical Drops: Such as GYFHTY63 – lightweight, non-metallic fiber optic anti-rodent cable. 

Indoor Networks / Data Centers: Contrary to wet-type, such models are equipped with nylon sheath superstructure.
