What are the characteristics of the drop cable?

- Jul 28, 2020-  


Covered optical cable is commonly known as indoor hanging wiring optical cable, and the scientific name of the covered optical cable: butterfly-shaped drop-in optical cable for access network. Because of its butterfly shape, it is also called butterfly-shaped optical cable or figure-of-eight optical cable. However, the covered cable is mostly single-core or double-core structure, and can also be made into a four-core structure. The cross-section is in the shape of a figure of eight. The reinforcement is located in the center of the two circles. Metal or non-metal structure can be used. The optical fiber is located in the figure of eight geometry. center.


Features of leather cable:

Because of its softness, light weight, and other characteristics, the drop cable is widely used in the access network. Such as:

1. Special bending-resistant optical fiber provides greater bandwidth and enhances network transmission performance;

2. Two parallel FRP or metal reinforcements make the optical cable have good compression resistance and protect the optical fiber;

3. The optical cable has simple structure, light weight and strong practicability;

4. Unique groove design, easy to peel off, convenient to connect, simplify installation and maintenance;

5. Low-smoke halogen-free flame-retardant polyethylene sheath or flame-retardant PVC sheath, environmental protection;

6. It can be matched with a variety of field connectors and can be completed on site.
