Overview
The Zeus line of factory-terminated drop cable assemblies is designed to simplify FTTx installations. These assemblies allow for efficient field deployment, requiring only two fusion splices and a direct connection into a Network Interface Device (NID).
Constructed with high-quality Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, these assemblies feature bend-insensitive singlemode characteristics, making them suitable for challenging routing environments. This non-toneable cable assembly includes one ZTAP connector, providing compatibility with H-style interface systems.
Key Features
-
Corning SMF-28 Ultra Fiber
Utilizes industry-standard bend-insensitive fiber for enhanced performance in tight routing environments. -
Factory Terminated
Pre-terminated ends ensure consistent optical performance and reduce field installation time. -
ZTAP Connector
