Overview
The Zeus flat drop cable assembly is engineered for efficient FTTx installations. This pre-terminated fiber optic assembly is designed to streamline drop deployments, allowing technicians to complete connections by performing two fusion splices and plugging a factory-terminated connector into the Network Interface Device (NID).
Featuring high-quality Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlemode fiber and a toneable outer jacket, this cable provides reliable signal transmission and ease of location for underground paths. Built for outdoor durability, this assembly is optimized for fast, professional field deployment.
