Description
1F Toneable Flat Drop cable 4.5×10.1mm offers a compact and lightweight yet rugged cable that offers the durability needed for outside plant use along with the flexibility required for
tight bends inside residences. This cable construction begins with a single-fiber OFNR 3.0 mm Ruggedized EZ-Bend cordage that forms the fiber core. Two fiberglass rods are added, diametrically opposite, on either side of the fiber core. A 24 AWG copper wire is aligned along the outside edge of one of the fiberglass rods to provide locatability.The locating wire, strength member rods, and fiber core are then encapsulated in a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket to create a flat cable cross section and lend added protection to the cable core.
This Mini toneable flat drop cable offers a compact, durable, and easy-to-locate optical fiber solution in a readily accessible construction. The fiber optic cable’s webbed design is for self-supporting, direct-buried and duct installations. Ideal for drop applications, offering ease of access as well as easy installation.
Dual Purpose Design:
- The complete cable is used as an outdoor drop
- The inner sub-unit is a stand-alone 3 mm
- simplex cable with 900 micron tight buffer fiber
All-Dielectric or Toneable
- All-dielectric version eliminates the need for bonding or grounding
- Optional 24 AWG tone wire is easily separated from the cable
Dry Water-Blocking Technology
- Permits rapid cable preparation and termination
- Water-blocking materials are easily removed
Versatile Design
- Robust outer cable stands up to tough conditions in the outside plant
- Outer cable is easily removed for segments that go indoors
- Simplex sub-unit is compact and UL listed for indoor use, 900-micron tight buffer for easy connection
- Can be used aerially or in duct
Dual Strength Member Design
- Fits into a standard wedge clamp (P-clamp)
- Fully self-supporting
- A great alternative where steel strength members are not permissible
Medium Density Polyethylene Outer jacket
- Low friction installation
- Excellent protection from environmental hazards
Sheath Markings
- Provides positive identification and length verification
- Custom print available
