Outdoor Drop Cable Specifications Datasheet

Outdoor drop cable details a robust design tailored for outdoor installations, ensuring reliable performance in various environmental conditions. This FTTH cable is equipped with single-mode fibers, specifically G652D, G657A1, and G657A2, catering to a wide range of applications that require high-speed data transmission over long distances. This flexibility extends to fiber counts, which can be configured from a single core up to twelve cores, offering scalable solutions for diverse network demands.

Central to the cable's structural integrity is its strength member, featuring two roots constructed from either metallic, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), or Kevlar fiber-reinforced plastic (KFRP) materials. These components have a diameter of 0.5 millimeters, plus or minus 0.1 millimeters, providing essential support and durability against external forces.

Enhancing the resilience further is the strengthening messenger wire, available in configurations of one or seven wires. These wires can be phosphatized steel or galvanized steel, with diameters varying between 1.0 millimeters, 1.2 millimeters, and combinations of 0.33 millimeters or 0.4 millimeters when seven wires are bundled together. Such versatility ensures the fiber optic drop cable can withstand different installation methods and environments.

The outer sheath, made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyethylene (PE), or low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) material, is designed for black or white coloration and measures approximately 2.0 millimeters in height by 5.1 millimeters in width, with a tolerance of plus or minus 0.1 millimeter. Customizable markings can be applied as per customer request, aiding in identification and organization.

In terms of tensile properties, it has been tested to withstand pulling loads of up to 600 Newtons for short periods and 300 Newtons for extended durations. It also exhibits impressive crush resistance, handling up to 2200 Newtons per 100 millimeters for short-term exposure and 1000 Newtons per 100 millimeters for long-term exposure. The bend radius is specified at a minimum of 15 millimeters for static conditions and 30 millimeters for dynamic situations, ensuring safe installation and operation.

For environmental adaptability, the FTTH fiber cable is rated for storage and operational temperatures ranging from -20 degrees Celsius to +60 degrees Celsius, with an installation temperature range of 0 to +60 degrees Celsius, making it suitable for deployment in a broad spectrum of climates.

When it comes to packaging, it is supplied in lengths of 1000 meters on plywood reels measuring 300 millimeters in diameter by 110 millimeters in width by 230 millimeters in length. Cartons containing these reels measure 310 millimeters square by 250 millimeters in height. The net weight is approximately 20 kilograms per kilometer, while the gross weight of the packaged product is around 22.5 kilograms per box, facilitating efficient transportation and handling.

The following datasheet outlines the technical specifications for an outdoor drop cable designed for reliable connectivity in various environmental conditions. It is suitable for both residential and business applications where robust, weather-resistant cabling is required.

This outdoor FTTH drop cable is designed to withstand a wide range of temperatures during storage, installation, and operation, making it suitable for deployment in diverse climates. It's tensile and crush resistance ensure durability during handling and installation, while its bend radii specifications allow for safe manipulation without damaging the internal fibers. The choice of materials for the outer sheath caters to different installation requirements, including environments that demand low-smoke, zero-halogen cables. The packaging is optimized for efficient transportation and handling, ensuring the cable arrives undamaged at its destination.
