Integrity

• Terminations are designed and tested to Telcordia GR-326
• Supports industry standard singlemode connectors
• Singlemode and multimode cable available

Protection

• Uses ruggedized OSP rated flat drop cable
• Single loose-tube is gel-filled for ultimate water blocking protection
• FLATdrop peel-and-play cable allows for the outer jacket to be stripped back to expose the more flexible 3mm sub-unit, easing storage of terminated ends
• Rugged black UV resistant jacket with two fiberglass strength members gives it the strength needed for all harsh environments
• All-dielectric option allows deployment near power lines and utilities

Access

• Flat drop cable construction allows for installation in buried or aerial applications
• Industry standard terminations include ST, SC, FC, LC (ask a Clearfield^® representative for other available connectors)
• Toneable cables allow for traceability throughout the network

Investment

• Ruggedized flat drop assemblies offer an economical solution for deploying fiber in any OSP optical network
• Environmentally stable, low-insertion loss, minimal back reflection
• All assemblies are 100% tested
