- Product Introduction
4.5x9.8mm Traceable SST Flat Fiber Drop Cables with Copper Tracer Wire
The 4.5x9.8mm Toneable SST Flat Drop Cable with Copper Tracer Wire provides a sophisticated and efficient solution for telecommunications and data transmission. Ideal for residential broadband and commercial data networks, this Flat Drop Cable delivers reliable, high-performance connectivity.
Engineered for durability and flexibility, the Flat Drop Cable features a robust yet manageable 4.5mm diameter and 9.8mm width profile suitable for diverse installation environments. Its construction includes single-mode or multi-mode fiber optic cores, protected by layers ensuring minimal signal loss over long distances.
A key advantage of this Flat Drop Cable is its integrated toneable capability, facilitated by the copper tracer wire within. This wire enables straightforward location and identification using tone generators and probes, significantly simplifying installation, management, and network troubleshooting.
The 'Toneable SST' designation refers to the advanced single-mode (or multi-mode) fiber technology utilized. This SST core ensures exceptional performance with low attenuation and high bandwidth, enabling efficient, reliable transmission supporting high-speed internet, HD video, and data-intensive applications for all use cases.

Application in FTTA:
Optimized for FTTA (Fiber-to-the-Antenna) deployments, flat drop cables provide crucial feeder links to remote radio heads (RRUs). Their slim, low-profile design enables easy installation in tight spaces, across cable ladders, and over building edges without bulky ducts. Key features include exceptional crush resistance, superior bend tolerance, UV/weather protection for harsh outdoor environments, and high tensile strength (often up to 2000N). Typically containing 2-6 fibers (SM), they ensure reliable, high-capacity fronthaul/backhaul connectivity for wireless networks.
