GJYXFCH All-Dielectric Self-Supporting FTTH Drop Cable
The GJYXFCH Self-Supporting Butterfly Drop Cable is an all-dielectric, figure-8 (bow-type) FTTH drop cable engineered for the last-mile connection between aerial distribution points and subscriber premises. Unlike the metallic-reinforced GJYXCH, the GJYXFCH uses two parallel FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) non-metallic strength members inside the flat butterfly section, eliminating induced currents and providing superior lightning immunity—making it the preferred choice for regions with frequent thunderstorms or where grounding restrictions apply.

Characteristics of GJYXFCH Butterfly Drop Cable
GJYXFCH adopts non-metallic strength members without any metal components. It effectively prevents lightning strike risks, electric leakage and electromagnetic interference, making it safe to deploy near power lines, distribution boxes and strong current facilities. Fully complies with indoor electrical safety regulations.
GJYXFCH designed as self-supporting type. No extra messenger wire is required for short-distance overhead or wall-mounted installation. It owns sufficient tensile strength to adapt to conventional overhead laying in residential communities and buildings.
GJYXFCH flat butterfly profile with small overall dimension. The cable is soft and bendable, suitable for pipe threading, concealed wiring, surface cabling and narrow spaces such as cable trays and weak current wells. It greatly reduces construction difficulty and improves working efficiency.
GJYXFCH equipped with standard G652D single-mode optical fiber. It features low transmission loss, stable signal and wide bandwidth, fully meeting the requirements of broadband, IPTV, video monitoring and gigabit network transmission.
The GJYXFCH outer sheath is made of high-quality flame-retardant PE material. It has good flame resistance, aging resistance and weather resistance, applicable for long-term use in corridors, indoor public areas and residential rooms. The material is non-toxic and eco-friendly.
GJYXFCH compact structure and light weight. It occupies little space during cabling and stacking, convenient for transportation, storage and bulk engineering deployment.
Residential Buildings & Home Networking
- FTTH Fiber To The Home: The most widely used cable for telecom operators to deliver broadband network from street fiber distribution boxes to household optical modems.
- Pre-wiring for New Houses & Villas: Buried in concealed pipes during decoration to build gigabit/10-gigabit whole-home fiber network.
- Old Community Network Renovation: Surface wiring on walls to replace traditional copper cables for broadband upgrade.
Building & Community Cabling
- Stairwell & Corridor Cabling: Run between floor splitter boxes and households. Non-metallic type GJYXFCH meets fire safety and lightning protection standards for indoor public areas.
- Apartment & Dormitory Complexes: Mass deployment for high-rise apartments, rental buildings and student dormitories with easy installation and low cost.
- Short-distance Aerial Laying in Communities: Self-supporting structure allows overhead installation along building exteriors without additional messenger wires.
Commercial & Office Areas
- Office Buildings & Enterprise Offices: Connect weak current rooms to individual offices for dedicated business broadband and private network access.
- Retail Stores, Restaurants & Shops: Provide stable network for cash register systems, WIFI and daily business use.
- Hotels & Guesthouses: Uniform fiber access for guest rooms to support network, IPTV and smart room devices.
Security & Surveillance Systems
- Indoor Camera Wiring: Applied in shopping malls, parking lots, factory workshops and building corridors for video signal transmission.
- Park & Factory Monitoring Network: Solve signal attenuation issues of network cables for medium and short distance surveillance links, with strong anti-electromagnetic interference performance.
Public & Government Facilities
- Schools & Campuses: Cabling for campus network, multimedia teaching system and office communication.
- Hospitals, Government Halls & Community Service Centers: For office network, medical internal network and government dedicated network.
- Exhibition Halls, Stadiums & Venues: Fixed or temporary wiring for network and large screen signal transmission.
Special Working Environments
- Concealed Pipes, Cable Trays & Weak Current Wells: Flexible and bendable design adapts to narrow piping and enclosed cable trays.
- Laying Near Power Lines: GJYXFCH non-metallic drop cable is the preferred choice beside power distribution boxes and high-voltage lines, featuring electric shock prevention, lightning protection and anti-interference.
- Temporary Communication Projects: Ideal for event sites and emergency communication due to convenient deployment and recycling.
Frequently Asked Questions
The butterfly (drop) section is fully non-metallic with FRP. The standard version includes a steel messenger wire for tension; an all-FRP messenger version (fully dielectric throughout) can be supplied on request for total isolation.
Yes — the FRP-reinforced section won’t conduct lightning-induced currents into the building or terminal equipment, making it the recommended choice for lightning-prone regions.
No. It uses the same standard FTTH drop cable stripper and cold-joint / heat-shrink connectors as GJYXCH.
- GJYXFCH: Full non-metallic structure. Anti-lightning, anti-electric leakage and anti-EM interference. Best for indoor, stairwells and areas near power lines.
- GJYXCH: With metallic strength members. Higher tensile strength, mainly used for outdoor overhead and long-distance wall laying.
It is ideal for indoor FTTH, residential buildings, apartments, hotel rooms, office cabling, indoor monitoring and wiring beside strong current facilities. It is not recommended for long-distance outdoor overhead installation.
It is primarily an indoor cable. Short-distance exterior wall laying is acceptable, but long-term exposure to harsh outdoor weather or long-span overhead installation is not advised. Choose GJYXCH for professional outdoor use.
1-core and 2-core are the most popular for FTTH. 4-core is available for projects requiring more fiber channels.
Yes. Thanks to the full non-metallic design, it has excellent lightning protection and will not conduct electricity, which greatly reduces safety risks in buildings.
