The FTTH Aerial Self-Support Drop Cable is a high-performance outdoor fiber solution engineered for reliable “last-mile” connectivity in challenging environments. Designed with an integrated steel messenger wire, this “Figure-8” cable provides the superior tensile strength required for pole-to-building spans, ensuring long-term stability against wind, ice, and environmental stress. Featuring G.657A bend-insensitive fiber protected by a UV-stabilized, flame-retardant LSZH or PE jacket, it delivers a durable, easy-to-install solution that maintains peak signal integrity for modern high-speed broadband networks.
While FTTH drop cables are used for last-mile connections, duplex zipcord fiber cables are commonly applied for indoor distribution and device interconnection.
Key Features
-
Integrated Steel Messenger Wire: Features a 1.0mm to 1.2mm phosphate steel wire that provides the high tensile strength (up to 600N) required for long-span aerial installations between poles and buildings.
-
Figure-8 Self-Supporting Design: The unique “Figure-8” cross-section allows for easy separation of the messenger wire from the optical unit, simplifying termination and reducing installation labor costs.
-
G.657A Bend-Insensitive Fiber: Equipped with premium G.657A1/A2 fiber cores, ensuring minimal signal loss even when the cable is routed around tight corners or in compact terminal boxes.
-
UV-Stabilized & Weatherproof Jacket: Encased in a black, UV-resistant LSZH or PE jacket designed to withstand extreme temperatures, moisture, and long-term sun exposure for a 20+ year service life.
-
Parallel Strength Members: Two parallel FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or steel wire strength members protect the fiber cores against crushing and lateral pressure during hanging.
-
Easy-Strip Construction: Designed for rapid access to the fiber; the jacket can be easily stripped without damaging the internal glass, making it ideal for Fast Connector (FIC) field assembly.
