ZMS Fiber Optic Cable Model List
There are many types of fiber optic cables, and the material, structure, and use of different fiber optic cables are also different, to facilitate the distinction and use of fiber optic cables, fiber optic cable manufacturers will usually have a unified code for fiber optic cables. To facilitate the differentiation and use of fiber optic cables, the manufacturers usually have a unified code for fiber optic cables. This not only makes it easier for the manufacturers to differentiate between the cables when making the cables but also helps the customers select the cable. The following is a complete list of common fiber optic cable models.
Fiber optic cable models are generally composed of six parts, namely: classification, reinforcing members, fiber optic cable structural characteristics, sheath, outer sheath, and optical fiber.
GY | Outdoor (field) fiber optic cable for communications | Thick outer packaging, pressure resistance, corrosion resistance, strong tensile strength, suitable for outdoor buildings and interconnection between remote networks, long transmission distance |
GJ | Fiber optic cables in communication rooms (bureaus) | Bend-resistant, fire-resistant and flame retardant, flexible, suitable for communication equipment in buildings, shorter transmission distance |
GH | Communication submarine fiber optic cable | No need to dig tunnels or support with brackets, less investment, faster construction, less interference by the natural environment and human activities, good confidentiality, security and stability, mostly used for long-distance international transmission |
GT | Special fiber optic cables for communication | Dispersion-shifted fibers, non-zero dispersion fibers, dispersion-flat fibers, etc., including all special-purpose fiber optic cables in addition to other classifications. |
