Number of cores in a butterfly-shaped optical cable
Fiber counts run from 1 to 4 cores for single-unit residential use, up to 12 cores for multi-tenant buildings sharing a riser. Self-supporting outdoor butterfly cables (type GJYXFCH/GJXFH) add a steel messenger wire alongside the indoor butterfly structure. The name comes from the cross-section: a flat, wing-shaped profile with the optical fiber sitting in the center and two parallel strength members flanking it on either side. These are used to provide links to protocols such as FTTH, FDDI, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, ATM. GJYXFHS optical cable is engineered for efficient conduit entry of optical cables, offering robust performance and durability.
