AFL’s Aerial FTTH Product Solution
AFL provides industry leading product solutions and technical support for aerial FTTx projects. The cornerstone of the solution, is ADSS cable technology and the ability to place in the supply zone. FTTx projects have utilized this advantage for 20+ years in conjunction with our fiber optic hardware offering. In more recent years, AFL has rounded out our solution with a full line of OSP connectivity products. Even there, ADSS is utilized in the Titan RTD terminal to provide an unmatched terminal technology. Explore the information below to see the advantages of ADSS and begin determining the products best suited for your FTTH project.
