FTTH Bend Resistance

The LiteLinx All-Dielectric FTTH Drop Cable is a cost-effective, compact cable designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, making it an ideal choice for short-distance external usage. Its flat design facilitates easy stripping without the need for specialized tools, streamlining the installation process.

The optical fiber is centrally positioned within the cable, with two parallel reinforcement rods made of either KFRP (Kevlar Fiber Reinforced Plastic) or FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) located on both sides. These rods serve to protect the fibers against crushing and traction forces, ensuring their safety.

The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) outer jacket provides excellent flame-retardant properties, emitting low levels of smoke and containing no halogen materials. This not only prevents toxicity but also offers resistance to UV radiation and various chemicals.
