Optical Connectivity 75 AFL's Pre-terminated Drop Cable Assemblies are engineered to meet the rigorous performance standards required for today’s FTTH (Fiber to the Home) applications. These assemblies help reduce costs by eliminating labor-intensive field terminations while delivering the same factory-terminated reliability trusted by the industry for years. In addition, AFL Compact Drop Cable assemblies provide a compact, technician- friendly solution tailored for modern FTTx networks. Featuring reduced-diameter flat drop cables, these assemblies are available with dielectric and toneable options and an innovative design which allows quick and easy access to the fiber to reduce prep and installation time. Each cable includes tight-buffered fibers to simplify field-installable connections and can be offered with factory-terminated ends on one or both sides.
