Optical Connectivity 1 AFL's Pre-terminated Drop Cable Assemblies are engineered to meet the rigorous performance standards required for today's FTTH (Fiber to the Home) applications. These assemblies help reduce costs by eliminating labor-intensive field terminations while delivering the same. In any FTTH (Fiber to the Home) network, the drop cable is the final and most critical part of the optical access network. It connects the outdoor distribution point to the customer premises and directly affects installation speed, service quality, and long-term reliability. Designed to deliver high-speed data, voice, and video services directly to subscribers, drop cables ensure reliable, high-performance connectivity in fiber-to-the-home. Flat Type Drop Cable, also known as flat drop cable, with a flat out-looking, usually consists of a polyethylene jacket, several fibers and two dielectric strength members to give high crush resistance.
