Introduction

The FTTH (Fiber to the Home) Outdoor 2 Core G657A2 LSZH Optical Fiber Drop Cable with 1*1.0mm steel is designed for direct installation in outdoor environments, offering robust performance and reliable data transmission for fiber optic networks. It is particularly suited for the last mile of FTTH deployments, connecting the network distribution points directly to end-user premises.

Key Features

• Fiber Type: G657A2
• Core Count: 2
• Jacket Material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Strength Member: 1*1.0mm steel wire
• Application: Outdoor use in FTTH applications

Fiber Type – G657A2

The G657A2 fiber type is characterized by its excellent bend tolerance, making it suitable for installations where tight bends are necessary. This ensures that the optical performance remains stable even in challenging installation conditions.

Core Count

The cable contains 2 cores, which are ideal for delivering high-speed internet connections to residential and small business customers. Having two fibers allows for redundancy and potential future network expansions.

 Jacket Material – LSZH

The Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket material ensures that in the event of a fire, the cable will emit minimal smoke and no halogenated gases, making it safer for people and equipment. This is particularly important for installations in or near residential areas.

Strength Member

The inclusion of a 1*1.0mm steel wire provides additional mechanical strength, protecting the fibers from physical damage during installation and throughout the cable’s operational life. This steel wire serves as a central strength member, enhancing the cable’s durability and tensile strength.

Application of G657A2 Cable

Designed specifically for outdoor use, this drop cable can be installed in various environments, including aerial, duct, or direct buried installations. Its robust construction ensures that it can withstand environmental challenges such as temperature variations, moisture, and physical stress.

Benefits of G657A2 Cable 

• High Performance: Maintains excellent signal integrity with low attenuation and minimal signal loss.
• Durability: The steel wire strength member and LSZH jacket ensure long-lasting performance even in harsh outdoor conditions.
• Safety: LSZH material enhances safety by reducing the risk of toxic smoke production in case of fire.
• Flexibility: The G657A2 fibers offer superior bend performance, allowing for easier and more flexible installations.
