Frequently Asked Questions
What is a ZTAP connector?
The ZTAP connector is a factory-terminated fiber optic connector designed to be compatible with H-style hardened interface ports commonly used in OSP enclosures.
Does this cable include a tone wire?
Yes, this assembly is toneable, which means it includes a metallic wire that allows for tracing the cable path underground.
Can I use this for fusion splicing?
Yes, these assemblies are intended to be installed by performing fusion splices at the distribution point or NID.
What kind of fiber is used?
This cable utilizes Corning SMF-28 Ultra fiber, which is known for its bend-insensitive properties and low signal loss.
Is this for indoor or outdoor use?
This is a ruggedized flat drop cable assembly designed primarily for outside plant (OSP) FTTx drop installations.
