Overview
The Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a factory-terminated fiber optic solution designed to streamline FTTx installations. These assemblies are engineered for rapid deployment, allowing technicians to complete drops by performing two fusion splices and connecting directly to a Network Interface Device (NID).
Constructed with high-quality Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, this assembly provides exceptional signal integrity and durability. The inclusion of a ZTAP connector ensures compatibility with industry-standard "H" type interfaces, making it a versatile choice for outdoor drop applications where efficiency and reliable connectivity are required.
