FTTH Figure-8 Self-Supporting Fiber Optic Drop Cable
Applications:
FTTH figure-8 drop cables are used for aerial last-mile connections between fiber distribution points and homes, apartments, and small commercial buildings. The self-supporting design combines the optical cable with a messenger, making it suitable for broadband and telecommunications access networks where an aerial drop is specified. Select the cable configuration according to route, installation conditions, and network requirements.
Structure
The figure-8 construction combines an optical fiber cable section with an integrated messenger wire for self-supporting aerial installation. Optical fibers are protected by the cable’s strength members and outer sheath. Fiber type, core count, reinforcement details, and sheath material vary by model and should be confirmed against the selected product datasheet.
