Overview of SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable
The Spring SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable offers a rugged, sealed, and high-performance solution for Fiber to the Home (FTTH) deployments.
Engineered with Hardened Connector technology, this assembly simplifies fiber installation in outdoor environments while ensuring superior optical performance and environmental protection.
Each hardened connector incorporates a precision SC/APC interface within a sealed, threaded polymer housing, allowing quick and reliable connection to multiport service terminals (MSTs) or in-line extension receptacles.
The SC/APC connector mates with standard adapters, ensuring seamless interoperability in various FTTH applications.
Available with 4.5×9.8mm toneable flat drop cable or standard outdoor round cable, the SST pre-terminated solution supports aerial, duct, and direct-buried installations, making it ideal for both urban and rural broadband networks.
Key Features of SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable
