Flat Drop Fiber Optic Cable 1-24F
Toneable and non-toneable flat drop fiber optic cables designed for aerial or direct burial last-mile applications. Available in 1 to 24 fiber counts, these cables feature a durable flat profile for easy handling, excellent bend performance, and long-term reliability in FTTH/FTTx deployments.
Product Overview
The LiteLinx Flat Drop Fiber Optic Cable (1–24F) is engineered to deliver efficient, flexible fiber delivery in the last mile. Its slim, flat profile allows easier installation along walls, roofs, and within narrow conduits—without using large round bundles. Built with bend-insensitive fiber and durable UV- and moisture-resistant jacket materials, this drop cable supports aerial, duct, and direct-burial applications.
Each fiber is tight-buffered and color-coded for easy termination. The cable includes water-blocking elements and optional toneable or armored variants for flexible installation. Ideal for FTTH, neighborhood builds, and rural extension projects, the LiteLinx Flat Drop Cable reduces installation time and complexity while maintaining long-term performance.
Engineered for performance. Built for simplicity.
LiteLinx FTTH Flat Drop Cable is purpose-designed for a wide range of last-mile installations—including self-supporting aerial, direct-buried, and ducted applications. Its fully dielectric, compact flat profile ensures fast, reliable deployment with excellent mechanical protection and signal performance.
This cable features two parallel FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) strength members, providing exceptional crush resistance without the need for grounding or bonding. Each FRP member is coated with EAA (Ethylene Acrylic Acid) for enhanced adhesion during jacket extrusion, improving the structural integrity of the cable.
