Frequently Asked Questions
What does "toneable" mean for this cable?
It means the cable includes a conductive metallic wire embedded in the jacket, which allows locators to send a signal through the wire to map the cable's path underground.
Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, the flat drop design is constructed to withstand the environmental stresses associated with underground deployment.
Can I use this for aerial installations?
The cable is designed for the rugged demands of outside plant use and is compatible with standard drop cable installation methods.
Are the connectors field-installable?
This assembly comes pre-terminated with ZTAP connectors to ensure factory-grade performance and eliminate the need for field termination.
What is the primary fiber mode?
This cable uses singlemode fiber, which is the standard for long-reach and high-speed telecommunications networks.
