Fiber Optic Drop Cable for FTTH Outdoor and Indoor Applications – High-Performance, Durable, and Easy to Install This fiber optic drop cable is engineered for reliable, high-speed data transmission in both indoor and outdoor environments. Designed specifically for Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) deployments, it features a robust flat structure with two steel strength members on either side, offering superior crush resistance, tensile strength, and mechanical stability. The cable’s innovative flute design enhances compressive performance while minimizing bending losses—ideal for installations involving multiple turns or tight spaces. Key Features: - 1–4 fiber cores using premium-grade G652D, G657.A1, or G657.A2 single-mode fibers for low attenuation and high bandwidth - LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket ensures flame retardancy and reduced toxic emissions during fire events - Black polyethylene (PE) sheath provides excellent UV resistance and protection against environmental stressors like moisture, abrasion, and temperature fluctuations - Lightweight construction simplifies handling, reduces installation time, and lowers labor costs - Bending-insensitive fibers allow flexible routing even around sharp corners without signal degradation - Supports direct burial due to its rugged build and impact resistance Detailed Description: The fiber drop cable delivers consistent optical performance across diverse conditions. Its all-dielectric design eliminates electrical hazards, making it suitable for use near power lines or in areas where grounding is challenging. With a core count ranging from one to four, this cable supports scalable deployment models—from single-home connections to multi-dwelling unit (MDU) setups. The inclusion of steel strength members adds structural integrity, enabling the cable to withstand pulling forces up to 100 kg and resist crushing under heavy loads. This makes it perfect for aerial, duct, or direct-buried installations in urban, suburban, and rural settings alike. Use Cases: Ideal for telecom service providers deploying FTTH networks, this cable supports residential broadband, IPTV, VoIP, and cloud-based services. It's commonly used in outside plant (OSP) wiring, pole-mounted drop lines, and indoor termination points such as wall boxes or patch panels. Whether you're installing in a new-build housing estate or upgrading an existing infrastructure, this cable offers future-proof connectivity with minimal maintenance requirements. Customer Feedback: Users praise its ease of installation, especially in complex builds requiring precise routing. Many highlight the durability of the black PE jacket when exposed to harsh weather conditions over extended periods. Installers appreciate how the flat profile allows neat cable management inside conduits and along walls, reducing clutter compared to round cables. The color-coded blue or orange fiber strands also help identify individual fibers quickly during splicing or termination. Frequently Asked Questions: What makes this fiber drop cable suitable for outdoor use? It has a flame-retardant, UV-resistant PE jacket that protects against sunlight exposure, rain, snow, and extreme temperatures. The steel strength members ensure long-term mechanical resilience in varying climates. Can I bury this cable directly in the ground? Yes, thanks to its crush-resistant design and protective outer sheath, it can be buried directly without additional conduit protection—ideal for cost-effective underground installations. Is the cable compatible with standard termination tools? Absolutely. The cable uses industry-standard connectors like SC, LC, or FC, and can be terminated using fusion splicing or mechanical methods with minimal loss. How does the bending-insensitive fiber benefit my network? These fibers maintain signal integrity even when bent at small radii (down to 10 mm), which is crucial for tight bends in attics, basements, or crowded utility closets. Why choose LSZH material for the jacket? LSZH jackets emit less smoke and no toxic halogens if ignited, enhancing safety in enclosed spaces such as buildings, tunnels, or commercial facilities. This fiber optic drop cable combines advanced materials, smart engineering, and real-world usability to meet modern communication demands globally. Whether you're building a new fiber network or expanding an existing one, this solution offers unmatched reliability, scalability, and compliance with international standards.
