Overview
The Zeus line of factory-terminated drop cable assemblies is designed to simplify FTTx installations. These assemblies allow for a streamlined deployment process, reducing onsite labor by requiring only two fusion splices and a direct connection to the Network Interface Device (NID).
Equipped with premium Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber and a factory-installed Corning OptiTap connector, this assembly ensures robust optical performance in outside plant environments. Its non-toneable, flat drop design is engineered for durability and reliable performance in residential and commercial broadband access networks.
