Overview
The Zeus Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a factory-terminated fiber optic solution designed for efficient FTTx installations. By providing a pre-terminated interface, this assembly simplifies the connection process, requiring only two fusion splices and a direct connection to the Network Interface Device (NID).
Engineered for robust performance, this assembly utilizes bend-insensitive singlemode fiber (Corning SMF-28 Ultra) to ensure signal integrity even in challenging installation conditions. The non-toneable construction and integrated ZTAP connector make it an ideal choice for streamlined fiber-to-the-home deployments.
Key Features
-
Bend-Insensitive Fiber
Features Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, which reduces signal loss in tight-bend environments. -
Factory Terminated
Ensures consistent optical performance and reduces field installation time. -
ZTAP Connector
Includes a standardized H-compatible connector for fast, secure termination at the NID. -
Pre-measured Length
150-foot length is pre-configured for standard drop applications, eliminating onsite measuring errors. -
Singlemode Compatibility
Optimized for long-reach, high-bandwidth singlemode network architectures. -
Streamlined Installation
Requires only two fusion splices, minimizing labor requirements per drop.
Applications
- FTTx installations
- Network Interface Device (NID) connections
