Our FTTH drop cables bring significant advantages. You can expect a product featuring a 250 µm tight buffer. These products provide data transfer rates up to 10 Gbps. Our design uses G.657A optical fibers. This, therefore, guarantees the least possible signal loss.
Expect a maximum attenuation factor of 0.19 dB/km at 1625 nm. Also, the outer jacket consists flame retardant PVC which is resistant to tough weather condition. Each cable undergoes a tensile load test of 800 N. The crush resistance is measured at 2200 N/100 mm.
We utilize a color-coded system for fiber identification. You will find our cables suitable for temperatures from -40°C to +85°C. Furthermore, the minimum bend radius is 15 mm during use.
The cable has a nominal diameter of 5.2 mm. Each reel contains 2 km of this cable. It has been carefully tested for compliance to ITU-T G.652 with regard to top Network performance.
Our FTTH drop cables incorporate Glass Fiber Reinforced Polymer (GFRP) elements. GFRP rods (Young’s modulus 70 GPa) supply reinforcement. You benefit from a tensile strength capacity exceeding 600 MPa in our cables. The 0.5 mm diameter rods ensure longitudinal integrity.
This design offers a lightweight solution for you, at 9.3 kg/km. We include dielectric components that eliminate electromagnetic interference. It also has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 5 x 10^-6/°C.
These FTTH drop cables are engineered for minimal loss. Observe a typical signal diminution of 0.34 dB/km at 1310 nm wavelength. When tested at 1550 nm, signal reduction drops to 0.20 dB/km.
The cable’s core, with an 8.8 µm mode field diameter, optimizes light propagation. Our product’s cladding diameter is maintained at 125 µm. We guarantee a cladding non-circularity of less than 0.7%. These FTTH drop cables are amazing.
Our FTTH drop cables are made using G.657.A1 fibers, meeting your high-speed data requirements. This core supports a cut-off wavelength of 1260 nm. Each fiber’s numerical aperture is 0.14, allowing effective light capture. You’ll find a chromatic dispersion of 3.5 ps/(nmkm) at 1550 nm.
This offers a polarization mode dispersion coefficient below 0.1 ps/sqrt(km). With a zero-dispersion slope of 0.085 ps/(nm^2km), we deliver performance. Our FTTH drop cables feature these optical fibers.
Our FTTH drop cables integrate a specialized water barrier. Thickness of the swellable tape is 0.25 mm and it activates upon liquid contact. Expect an expansion rate exceeding 200% of its original volume.
This material creates a longitudinal seal, preventing moisture ingress over 5 meters. The cable’s operational temperature remains unaffected, rated from -30°C to +60°C. This tape has a density of 1.5 g/cm³.

CommMesh provides FTTH drop cables with factory-installed SC/APC connectors. These connectors exhibit an insertion loss of just 0.2 dB. Each connection point offers a return loss greater than 60 dB, reducing signal reflections. The assemblies withstand 500 mating cycles while maintaining performance. You can select from pre-terminated lengths ranging from 50 meters to 500 meters. Our factory termination utilizes a precise cleave angle of 0.5 degrees, optimizing light transmission.
These FTTH drop cables are compatible with mechanical splice systems, featuring a splice loss of 0.1 dB. You can use fast connectors, achieving termination in under 2 minutes. We ensure compatibility with standard 900 µm tight-buffered fibers. The design accommodates various fusion splicers, including core-alignment models. These cables are typically used with industry standard tools, including fiber cleavers with a 16-position blade to allow on site customization. This offers installation flexibility to the user.
Our FTTH drop cables are engineered for self-supporting setups, eliminating messenger wire needs. Without additional support, your spans can stretch 100 meters. The cable's design tolerates wind speeds up to 72 km/h. They also accommodate ice loading of 12.7 mm radial thickness. You should maintain a minimum ground clearance of 5.5 meters during deployments. Clamping hardware used is rated for a 1.1 kN grip strength.
CommMesh FTTH drop cables feature a low-friction jacket, allowing smooth conduit transit. A pulling force below 440 N is recommended. You can place these in ducts with an inner diameter of 25 mm. Our cables permit a maximum fill ratio of 40% in shared conduits, adhering to industry practices. To minimize drag when installing we advise using a lubricant with a 0.15 friction coefficient.
