Overview
This flat drop cable assembly is designed for high-performance fiber-to-the-x (FTTX) deployments. Featuring 100 feet of robust cable, it is engineered for efficient last-mile connectivity in residential or commercial network installations. The assembly incorporates high-quality Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber, which provides exceptional signal integrity and low attenuation over long distances.
The non-toneable design is suited for applications where locate capability is not required, maintaining a lightweight and manageable profile. Equipped with a ZTAP connector, this pigtail assembly ensures a secure, field-ready termination, significantly reducing installation time and complexity in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does non-toneable mean?
It indicates the cable does not contain a metallic conductor or messenger wire used to locate the path of the cable once buried underground.
Is this compatible with standard fusion splicers?
The pigtail end is designed to be spliced into existing infrastructure using standard fusion splicing equipment.
What is the primary benefit of the ZTAP connector?
It allows for rapid, standardized connection in outdoor environments without requiring field-polishing.
Is the fiber water-blocked?
The cable is designed for outside plant usage; please refer to the spec sheet for specific environmental ratings.
Can I use this for indoor and outdoor drops?
This assembly is specifically designed as an outdoor drop cable to connect the network to a premises.
