Overview
The 12-fiber toneable flat drop cable is designed for fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) applications, providing a flexible and reliable last-mile connection. The cable features a compact, durable construction that incorporates two dielectric rigid rods for tensile and crush protection, ensuring the safety of the optical fibers during and after installation.
This cable utilizes a dry loose tube design, which eliminates the need for messy gels and simplifies field termination. An integrated 24 AWG toneable element allows for easy locating of the cable path after burial, making it an efficient choice for network contractors and installers. The durable black polyethylene jacket is suitable for various environments, protecting the internal components from external damage.
