Drop Cable Dialectric Flat

Drop Cables are specifically designed for fiber optic communication networks. The dielectric flat cables provide excellent performance in a range of installations, including overhead and duct applications. These cables are lightweight, durable, and capable of withstanding various environmental conditions.

They are available in different configurations to suit specific needs, such as the dielectric flat drop cable, dielectric flat drop cable with 1F OFNR cordage, and reduced-size dielectric flat drop cable.

Applications

• Telecom Backbone Extensions: Can be used in extending existing telecom networks to reach remote or underserved areas.
• Campus Networks: Suitable for connecting multiple buildings in a campus environment with reliable and high-speed fiber optic links.
• Fiber to the Home (FTTH): Ideal for FTTH applications where a reliable, high-performing connection is required.
• Rural Broadband Deployment: Ideal for expanding fiber optic networks in rural areas where long cable runs, and harsh environmental conditions are common.
• Last-Mile Connectivity: These cables are perfect for the final leg of a fiber optic network, connecting the service provider to end users.
• Indoor and Outdoor Deployments: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations in various environmental conditions.

Technical Specifications

• Fiber Type: G.652.D fiber and reduced-size versions, ensuring low attenuation and high signal integrity. G.657.A1 fiber for the variant with 1F OFNR cordage, offering flexibility and bend insensitivity.
• Fiber Count: Available in dielectric flat drop cable 1-24, with OFNR cordage 1, and reduced size 1-12.
• Operational Temperature Range: -40°C to +70°C, ensuring performance in extreme environmental conditions.
• Tensile Rating: All versions have a tensile strength of 1.35 kN, ensuring durability during installation and long-term use.

Performance Benefits

• Performance Standards: Compliant with Telcordia GR-20 and ICEA S-87-640 standards for high reliability and performance.
  
• Bend Insensitivity: Especially in the OFNR cordage variant, these cables offer excellent bend performance, making them ideal for installations with tight spaces.
• Weather Resistance: The dielectric construction ensures that the cables are immune to environmental factors such as water, wind, and temperature fluctuations.
• Lightweight and Flexible: The reduced size variant offers easy handling and installation in compact or hard-to-reach areas.

Construction Features

• Dielectric Flat Construction: Provides superior protection for the fiber, ensuring reliable performance over long distances.
• Single Fiber Option: The variant with 1F OFNR cordage allows for highly flexible and bend-resistant applications.
• Reduced Size Option: Smaller cable dimensions in the reduced-size variant make it ideal for space-constrained installations without compromising performance.
