Overview
The Zeus flat drop cable assembly is a high-performance, factory-terminated fiber optic solution engineered for efficient FTTx installations. Designed to streamline network deployment, this pre-terminated assembly eliminates the need for field termination, allowing technicians to complete drops by performing two fusion splices and connecting the cable directly into the Network Interface Device (NID).
Constructed with premium Corning SMF-28 Ultra singlemode fiber, this assembly provides exceptional signal integrity and durability. Its non-toneable, flat drop design is optimized for outside plant environments, ensuring reliable performance in diverse outdoor conditions.
