What is Fiber Optic drop cable?
Fiber optic drop cable is a type of fiber optic cable used to connect the main fiber optic network to an end user's premises, such as a home or business. It is typically used in
Fiber to the Home (FTTH) or Fiber to the Premises (FTTP) installations, which provide high-speed internet, voice, and video services over optical fiber.
Outdoor FTTH Drop Cable is a type of fiber optic cable designed to connect the main fiber optic network to individual homes or buildings. It's typically used in FTTH
(Fiber to the Home) installations where high-speed internet, voice, and video services are delivered directly to residences over optical fiber.
Features of Outdoor FTTH Drop Cable:
* Outdoor Durability: These cables are designed to withstand outdoor conditions such as UV radiation, extreme temperatures, moisture, and mechanical stress. They
are typically coated with strong, weather-resistant jackets, often made of polyethylene or other rugged materials.
* Drop Cable: The term "drop" refers to the final connection between the distribution point (such as a fiber distribution box or pole) and the customer's premises.
It's smaller, lighter, and more flexible than backbone or distribution cables but still strong enough for outdoor environments.
* Self-Supporting Option: Many outdoor FTTH drop cables come in a self-supporting form, meaning they include additional strength members like steel wires or
aramid yarns to support the cable when suspended between poles without the need for a separate support wire.
* Single-mode Fiber: Typically, single-mode fiber is used in FTTH applications due to its ability to carry data over long distances with minimal signal loss.
* UV and Water Resistance: The outer jacket is resistant to UV rays and water ingress, which helps protect the fiber inside in outdoor environments.
Characteristics:
1.Two parallel fiber reinforced plastic as the strength member ensures good performance of crush resistance to protect the fiber.
2.Environmental protection- Low smoke, zero halogen and flame retardant sheath.
3.Single steel wire as additional strength member ensuring good performance of tensile strength and self-supporting.
4.Simple structure, light weight.
Application:
1. Adopted to indoor distribution.
2. As pigtail of communication equipment
3. Suitable for communication equipment servrd
4. Can be installed conveniently and perated simply
