Overview
The Zeus Micro Flat Drop Fiber Optic Cable is a 1-fiber singlemode solution designed for efficient deployment in fiber-to-the-home (FTTX) and drop applications. This cable features a G.657A1 bend-insensitive fiber construction, ensuring optimized performance in tight routing scenarios typical of residential or multi-dwelling unit installations.
Constructed with a dry, dielectric design and a black PE (polyethylene) jacket, this cable is intended for both indoor and outdoor environments. Its robust, flat-drop architecture provides the flexibility required for rapid, reliable network builds while maintaining environmental protection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable indoor/outdoor rated?
Yes, the black PE jacket provides UV resistance and environmental protection for outdoor use, while the dielectric design is suitable for indoor installation.
What is the primary fiber type?
This cable uses G.657A1 bend-insensitive singlemode fiber.
Is this cable conductive?
No, it features a dielectric design which is non-conductive.
What is the maximum attenuation for this cable?
It maintains ≤ 0.40 dB/km at 1310 nm and ≤ 0.30 dB/km at 1550 nm.
What does the dry design mean?
It uses dry water-blocking materials, avoiding the need for messy flooding gels during termination.
