Pre-connectorized flat drop cable plays a crucial role in FTTx/FTTH applications. It offers a compact size, lightweight, durable, and self-supporting structure in an easily accessible construction. The cable can be equipped with type B, C, D, J, and K pre-connectorized connectors that have IP65/IP68 protection. It is suitable for aerial, underground, buried, indoor, and outdoor installations. This article provides a quick introduction to pre-connectorized flat drop cables.
What is a Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable?
Pre-connectorized flat drop cable, also known as drop cable or FTTH flat drop cable, is the cable that runs from the distribution point or to the subscriber/user. It is suitable for aerial, duct, underground, and buried installations and indoor and outdoor applications. The dielectric version eliminates any bonding and grounding requirements. It is available in pre-connectorized assemblies and GJXH and GJYXCH cable types.
Cable Construction
Pre-connectorized flat drop cable (GJXH) uses a butterfly flat structure, and the optical fiber unit is positioned in the center. Two parallel fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) or steel wire strength members are placed at the two sides. Then, the cable is completed with an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) sheath.
Features and Benefits
Pre-connectorized flat drop cable provides the following features and benefits:
1. Low insertion loss and cost
2. High crush resistance and tensile strength
3. High flexibility and reliability
4. Small size, simple structure, and lightweight
5. Easy to install and deploy
6. Available with/without messenger wire
7. Black LSZH sheath and SM G657A1/ G657A2 fiber type
Application Scenarios
Pre-connectorized flat drop cable is widely used from the fiber optic distribution box to the end user. It can also be used in indoor installations by simply removing the metallic support. However, the typical application scenarios of pre-connectorized flat drop cable are telecommunication networks, FTTx (FTTH, FTTA), CATV networks, LAN, MAN, WAN, PON, data communications networks, fiber optic patch cords, pigtails, etc.
Conclusion
Pre-connectorized flat drop cable offers the most flexible solution for FTTx /FTTH applications. Parallel strength members make this cable robust and ideal for aerial or buried outdoor installations. In addition, it provides a simple structure, lightweight, highly durable, and easy installation.
