Flat Drop Cable, 2 Fiber, Singlemode, H-IP-pigtail, 24" Spool, 122 meters (400 feet) with Corning® SMF-28® Ultra Fiber

Overview

This Flat Drop Cable is designed for reliable fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) deployments, specifically engineered for drop applications. Featuring two high-performance optical fibers, this cable utilizes Corning® SMF-28® Ultra fiber, which provides exceptional bend performance and compatibility with legacy networks.

The cable is constructed for durability in outdoor environments, protecting the fiber from mechanical stress while maintaining a low-profile footprint. This assembly is pre-terminated with an H-IP-style pigtail, designed to streamline installation and reduce field termination time in residential and multi-dwelling unit (MDU) connectivity projects.
