What is Fiber Optic Drop Cable?
Fiber optic drop cable is a lightweight and flexible fiber optic cable commonly used for the user introduction section in the fiber optic access networks. It introduces fiber optical cables from outdoors into indoors, or from the floors into the rooms, enabling the transmission of optical signals to connect various network devices.
Gcabling Drop Cable
Butterfly drop cable is the most popular product in our brand drop cable series. It can be made into two structures, one with self-supporting member and the other without self-supporting member, and has 1 core, 2 cores, and 4 cores to choose from.
Its main features include:
1. Simple structure, light weight and high practicability
2. Optical Fiber: use YOFC, FIBERHOME branded fiber core to make drop cable. G657A2 fibers supports a smaller bending radius. Dynamic bending radius: 20D, Static bending radius:10D
3. Concave Groove Design: easily to strip and splice, simplify the installation and maintenance
4. Jacket: high quality LSZH material, anti-UV, not easy to burn, no toxic smoke, ensuring a long service life outdoors
5. Reinforcement: 2 pcs of 0.5mm FRP, non-conductive; 1pc 1.0mm galvanized steel wire to enhance tensile strength (self-supporting drop cable), ensuring a good performance of crush resistance to protect the fibers
Package: 2KM/wooden roll with Gcabling outer box, or palletizing shipment
