Overview
The Zeus Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a robust, factory-terminated solution designed to streamline FTTx network deployments. Featuring a non-toneable, 1-fiber configuration, this assembly utilizes high-quality Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlmode fiber to ensure consistent optical performance across demanding outdoor environments.
Each unit comes pre-terminated with a factory-installed Corning® OptiTap® connector, simplifying field connections. This design significantly reduces installation time and complexity, allowing technicians to complete drops by performing only two fusion splices and plugging the connector directly into the designated Network Interface Device (NID).
