Overview
The Flat Drop Cable is designed for fiber-to-the-premise (FTTP) applications, providing a flexible solution for both indoor and outdoor environments. This cable features a flat, single-tube design that is optimized for aerial or conduit installation, utilizing dry water-blocking technology to prevent moisture penetration.
Constructed with two integrated dielectric strength members, the cable provides robust crush and tensile protection for the internal components. It houses a single enhanced loose tube containing 2 fibers, offering a small profile that increases ease of use and access in tight spaces while ensuring reliable performance for last-mile connectivity.
Key Features
-
Dielectric Strength Members
Two rigid rods surround the fiber tube to provide crush and tensile protection. -
Dry Water-Blocking
Eliminates the need for messy gels, simplifying termination and installation. -
Flat Single Tube Design
Reduces cable profile to facilitate easier deployment in constrained conduit spaces. -
Indoor/Outdoor Rating
Versatile design suitable for varied installation environments in FTTP deployments. -
Enhanced Fiber Performance
Utilizes SMF-28 Ultra fiber for low-attenuation signal transmission. -
900um Buffer
Provides protection to individual fibers, allowing for easier handling and termination.
