FAQ
Q1: What is the main structural design and application of the Outdoor FTTH Flat Drop Cable 2x5mm?
A: Designed for outdoor subscriber drop connections in FTTH networks, the FTTH-ODC cable features a central optical fiber unit flanked by two parallel Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) strength members and encased in a 2.0 × 5.0 mm flame-retardant LSZH outer sheath.
Q2: What are the key performance features of this flat drop cable?
A: Key features include:
- Low-Bend-Sensitivity Fiber: Incorporates bend-insensitive single-mode fiber (G.657A1/A2) for high bandwidth and reliable signal transmission.
- High Crush Protection: Parallel FRP strength members protect the internal fiber from mechanical compression.
- Easy Installation: Novel flute/groove design simplifies stripping, splicing, and termination in the field.
- Flame Retardant & Eco-Friendly: Low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket ensures environmental safety and fire resistance.
Q3: What industry standards and physical specs does this cable meet?
A: Compliant with industry standard YD/T 1997-2009. Technical specifications across 1 to 12 core counts include:
- Dimensions & Weight: 2.0 × 5.0 mm cross-section | 20 to 25 kg/km cable weight
- Tensile Strength: 100 N long-term / 200 N short-term
- Crush Resistance: 1000 N/100m long-term / 2200 N/100m short-term
- Bending Radius: 15D static / 30D dynamic
Q4: Who manufactures this outdoor drop cable and what is its reference price?
A: Manufactured by FirstFiber Technologies, the cable is printed with FIRSTFIBER TECHNOLOGIES DROP CABLE 1C G.657A1 SM LSZH and carries a reference price starting at $0.7 USD.
Q5: How can I order custom options or request a quotation?
A: Select your required fiber core count (1–12 cores), fiber type (G.652D, G.657A1/A2, OM1–OM5), sheath material (PVC/LSZH), strength member (Steel/FRP/Kevlar), and length on the product page, then click “Add to Quote” for custom volume pricing or “Request a Demo” for sample evaluation.
