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. Pre-terminated Drop Cable Assemblies Features • Factory Terminations on: - 250 μm outdoor or 900 μm indoor/outdoor flat drop cable - 250 μm armored drop - 900 μm pushable/air-jettable MicroDrop - 900 μm tight buffered fiber in dielectric and toneable options - BABA compliant cable options • Flat drop is aerial self-support capable • Smaller diameter • Easier access to fiber for terminations Applications • FTTx and Service Provider drop cables to the end customers • Toneable cables designed for direct burial Cable Components Standard Dielectric Flat Drop Reduced Diameter Dielectric Flat drop cable UV Resistant Jacket Water Blocking Dielectric Strength Member Water Blocking Dielectric Strength Member Water Blocking Thread Optical Fiber Gel-Filled Loose Buffer Tube Toneable Indoor/Outdoor UV Resistant Jacket Water Blocking Dielectric Strength Member Water Blocking Dielectric Strength Member Toneable Copper Element Water Blocking Thread 900 μm Tight Buffered Optical Fiber OFNR Jacket Aramid Yarns Armored Drop UV Resistant Jacket Corrugated Steel Armor Rip Cords Dielectric Water Blocking Strength Members Optical Fiber PFM ™ Gel-Filled Tube MicroDrop Tight Buffer Tube Outer Sheath Water Blocking Aramid Yarns Optical Fiber Strength Member Polyethylene Outer Jacket Tight Buffer with Optical Fiber Aramid Yarns Reduced Diameter Toneable Flat drop cable Toneable Copper Element FastAccess Technology Jacket Optical Fiber Aramid Yarns 76 AFLglobal.com 1 (800) 235-3423 © 2021, AFL, all rights reserved.
