Overview
The Zeus line of factory-terminated drop cable assemblies is designed to simplify FTTx installations. These pre-terminated fiber optic cables allow technicians to complete drop installations efficiently by requiring only two fusion splices and a direct connection into the Network Interface Device (NID).
Constructed with high-quality Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlemode fiber, these assemblies offer toneable properties to facilitate path location in buried outside plant environments. Engineered for rugged outdoor use, these assemblies ensure consistent connectivity and long-term signal integrity in fiber-to-the-premises deployments.
