Overview
The Zeus Flat Drop Cable Assembly is a high-performance, pre-terminated fiber optic solution designed to streamline FTTx installations. This toneable, singlemode drop cable is engineered for durability and ease of use in outdoor environments, featuring industry-standard Corning SMF-28 Ultra bend-insensitive fiber.
This assembly significantly reduces deployment time in the field. By utilizing a factory-terminated ZTAP connector—which is compatible with H-style interface standards—technicians can simply perform two fusion splices and connect the assembly to the Network Interface Device (NID) to complete the link.
