OptiTap FTTH Flat Drop Cable Patch Cord SC/APC-SC/APC G657A2 SX 4.5×9.8mm

FIBERFUTURE’s OptiTap SC/APC-SCAPC G657A2 SX 4.5×9.8mm FTTH flat drop cable patch cord uses 4.5×9.8mm flat drop cable with low insertion loss SC connectors. Its compact design ensures rapid deployment, high reliability, and durability. Ideal for final connections in FTTH projects, it offers easy fiber access and simple installation, commonly used with MST, FAT, and FTTX pro-connectorized terminal boxes.


Applications

  • Multi-purpose indoor and outdoor use
  • Connections between distribution boxes and RRH
  • Deployment in Remote Radio Head cell towers
  • Fiber optic communications in harsh outdoor environments
  • Waterproof SC port equipment for remote wireless base stations
  • FTTH wiring projects
