Pre-Terminated Round Fiber Optic Drop Cable

Product Overview

The pre-terminated round fiber optic drop cable is designed for high-performance Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) connectivity. It features a G657.A1 or G657.A2 single-mode fiber within a 5mm HDPE jacket (black/gray). One end is factory-terminated with a reinforced SC/APC connector featuring a zirconia ferrule, while the opposite end remains open for field splicing or termination.
