Overview
The Zeus 2F Flat Drop SM Toneable ZTAP Connector-Pigtail is a high-performance fiber optic assembly engineered for FTTX (Fiber-to-the-X) network deployments. This solution integrates a 2-fiber flat drop cable with a toneable wire for easier underground locating and a ZTAP connector for rapid, field-ready connectivity.
Designed for demanding outdoor environments, this cable assembly facilitates efficient installation and connection in last-mile broadband infrastructures. Its robust construction ensures reliable signal integrity, while the factory-terminated ZTAP interface reduces field installation time and complexity compared to traditional fusion splicing methods.
Key Features
-
Toneable Design
Integrated metallic tone wire allows for simple and accurate underground path identification for maintenance and repair crews. -
2-Fiber Configuration
Provides dual-fiber capacity within a single ruggedized flat drop profile, supporting increased bandwidth requirements. -
ZTAP Connector Interface
Pre-terminated connector design minimizes the need for field splicing, significantly accelerating network rollout timelines. -
Outdoor-Rated Jacket
Durable outer sheath protects internal fibers from moisture, UV radiation, and mechanical stress during installation. -
Factory Termination
Consistent optical performance is achieved through controlled factory-polishing and inspection standards. -
2,000 FT Length
Extended reel length is optimized for long-run distribution, reducing the frequency of mid-span connections.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the primary benefit of the toneable wire?
The toneable wire allows utility companies to locate the buried fiber cable path using standard electronic locating equipment, preventing accidental damage during excavation.
Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
Yes, the flat drop cable design is engineered for standard outside plant deployment environments.
Can the ZTAP connector be removed?
The ZTAP connector is a factory-terminated component; it is intended to remain as-is to maintain performance integrity.
Is the fiber singlemode or multimode?
This product uses singlemode fiber, which is the standard for long-reach telecommunications and FTTX networks.
How many fibers are in this assembly?
This assembly features a 2-fiber construction.
