Product Description
1. Product Overview
This patch cord is assembled with self-supporting aerial FTTH drop cable, used as the final connecting component in FTTH deployment. It is widely applied between face plates, terminal boxes, ONU, and communication equipment, suitable for building access and premises distribution systems. The fiber unit is centered with two parallel FRP strength members and LSZH outer sheath, featuring easy stripping, splicing, and installation.
2. Cable Structure
• Profile: Figure 8 flat self-supporting structure
• Fiber unit: Centered single-mode fiber
• Strength members: Two parallel FRP/KFRP/steel wire
• Messenger wire: Integrated for aerial self-support
• Sheath: Low smoke zero halogen (LSZH)
3. Key Features
• Excellent mechanical and environmental performance
• Simple structure, light weight, high practicality
• LSZH flame-retardant, low-smoke, halogen-free sheath
• Easy stripping and splicing for simple installation and maintenance
• Anti-electromagnetic interference and crush resistance
• Low bend sensitivity fiber for high bandwidth and stable transmission
