Overview
The Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a high-performance fiber optic solution designed for FTTx applications. This assembly features pre-terminated ends to facilitate rapid field deployment and integration with existing network infrastructure. The inclusion of factory-terminated connectors reduces the need for complex field terminations, saving time and labor costs during installation.
Built with Corning® SMF-28® Ultra fiber, this cable delivers exceptional signal integrity and low attenuation. The toneable design allows for easy location of the cable underground, making it a practical choice for burial and outside plant environments. It is engineered for durability and consistent performance in demanding outdoor conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does toneable mean in this cable assembly?
Toneable refers to the inclusion of a conductive tracer wire within the cable jacket, which allows technicians to locate the cable underground using a signal generator and receiver.
Is this cable assembly suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, it is designed for outside plant (OSP) environments, including burial and aerial applications.
Can I use this for non-Corning equipment?
The OptiTap® connector is a widely adopted industry standard for FTTx hardware and is compatible with most standard OptiTap® compatible enclosures and terminals.
Does this assembly come ready to install?
Yes, it is factory-terminated at one end, which simplifies the connection to the NID and reduces the required number of field splices.
How many fibers are in this cable?
This specific assembly contains 1 fiber.
