Overview
The Zeus Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a factory-terminated solution designed to simplify FTTx installations. This assembly features high-performance Corning® SMF-28® Ultra Singlemode fiber, providing robust optical performance for outdoor network deployments. The cable is toneable, facilitating easier location and maintenance in buried or aerial plant environments.
Engineered for rapid field deployment, this pre-terminated assembly reduces installation time and labor costs. Technicians can complete the drop connection by performing two fusion splices and utilizing the integrated OptiTap® connector to interface directly with the Network Interface Device (NID). This construction ensures reliable connectivity in demanding outside plant conditions.
