Overview
The Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a high-performance, factory-terminated fiber optic solution designed specifically for FTTx (Fiber-to-the-x) network deployments. This assembly features 1-fiber Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlemode fiber, providing reliable optical performance in outdoor environments.
The cable is engineered to simplify the installation process, allowing contractors and technicians to complete drops efficiently. By utilizing a pre-terminated Corning® OptiTap® connector on one end and a pigtail configuration, the assembly minimizes field preparation time. The non-toneable construction is optimized for standard aerial or underground drop applications, ensuring long-term network integrity.
