Product Description

1 Scope

This specification defines the structure, optical performance, mechanical performance, environmental performance, requirements, and test methods of 1-core self-supporting aerial FTTH drop cable patch cords for use in FTTH access networks, indoor wiring, terminal connections, and optical communication equipment interconnections.

2 General Description

The patch cord is assembled with self-supporting aerial FTTH drop cable, featuring a figure‑8 flat structure with central optical fiber, parallel strength members, and LSZH flame‑retardant jacket. It supports easy stripping, splicing, and installation for terminal boxes, faceplates, ONU, and customer premises equipment.

3 Cable Structure

• Optical fiber unit located at the center

• Two parallel FRP/KFRP strength members

• Messenger wire for self‑supporting aerial application

• LSZH flame‑retardant outer jacket

• Flat dimension: 2.0×5.0 mm

4 Key Features

• Excellent mechanical and environmental stability

• Simple, lightweight, and practical construction

• Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH), flame‑retardant jacket

• Easy stripping and splicing for fast installation

• Good anti‑electromagnetic interference and crush resistance

• Low bend‑sensitivity single‑mode fiber for high bandwidth
