SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable with Pulling Eyes
The SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable with Pulling Eyes provides a reliable, factory-terminated fiber connection for outdoor FTTH (Fiber to the Home) networks. Designed with toneable tracer wire and hardened connectors, this drop cable ensures quick installation, superior protection, and long-term performance in harsh environments such as aerial, direct-buried, and conduit installations.
Spring Optical's pre-terminated drop cables are engineered to reduce on-site splicing, minimize optical loss, and provide plug-and-play connectivity between multiport service terminals and customer premises.
What Is an SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable with Pulling Eyes?
An SST Pre-Connectorized Flat Drop Cable is a factory-terminated fiber optic drop cable that integrates a toneable steel strength member (SST) and pulling eyes for easy routing and installation. The pulling eye allows installers to pull the cable through ducts or conduits without damaging the connectors, making it ideal for outdoor FTTH deployment.
This design ensures consistent optical performance and reduces labor costs, providing a cost-effective solution for telecom operators and network integrators.
