FieldShield FLEXdrop Flexible Fiber Drop Cable

Product Details

FieldShield FLEXdrop has more flexibility than standard FieldShield Optical Cable making it ideal for shorter drops where more handling and slack storage may be required. Whether it’s used indoor or outdoor, the flexibility of the jacket allows for deployment with reduced jacket memory and decreases the risk of kinking. While FLEXdrop is typically used in conjunction with FieldShield Microduct solutions, in some applications, it can be stapled directly to walls and ceilings or used on building wrap applications securing with crown T18 staples.

Connector options for this product include FieldShield SC and LC Pushable Connectors or FieldShield MPO Pushable Connector.
