Overview
The Zeus Flat Drop Cable Assembly is designed to streamline FTTx network deployments. This pre-terminated solution utilizes high-quality Corning® SMF-28® Ultra singlemode fiber, providing reliable optical performance for residential and commercial fiber-to-the-home installations.
Featuring a toneable design, this cable includes an integrated copper conductor that allows for easy underground cable location after installation. The assembly comes factory-terminated with a single Corning® OptiTap® connector, significantly reducing field installation time and complexity. It is intended for OSP (Outside Plant) environments and is compatible with standard NID (Network Interface Device) connections.
