Overview
The Zeus line of factory-terminated drop cable assemblies is designed to streamline FTTx installations. These assemblies are engineered for efficiency, allowing field technicians to complete drop connections by performing two fusion splices and connecting the integrated ZTAP connector directly into a Network Interface Device (NID).
Constructed with Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, this assembly offers bend-insensitive performance, making it ideal for the challenging routing environments found in outdoor fiber-to-the-home deployments. The non-toneable, flat drop design ensures durability and simplifies handling during the installation process.
