Overview
The Zeus line of factory terminated drop cable assemblies is designed to simplify FTTx installations. These pre-terminated fiber optic assemblies allow for rapid deployment in outside plant environments by requiring only two fusion splices and a direct connection to a Network Interface Device (NID).
This assembly utilizes high-quality Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlmode fiber, ensuring reliable signal performance. The cable features a toneable design, facilitating easy location of the buried drop cable during maintenance or future utility work.
