Optitap Waterproof Patch Cord 4.5x9.8mm Diameter Flat Drop Cable Assembly

 

The Optitap Waterproof Patch Cord features a ruggedized flat drop cable profile (4.5x9.8mm diameter) for easy routing in tight spaces and high-density cabinets. Designed for demanding outdoor environments, its key strength is superior waterproofing, protecting critical fiber connections. This robust assembly delivers reliable performance for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-Home) networks, telecommunications infrastructure, and industrial applications where environmental sealing is essential.

 

Offering both durability and flexibility, this waterproof patch cord assembly ensures signal integrity in exposed installations. The compact, flat cable minimizes bending radius issues and enables efficient cable management. Typically terminated with single-mode fiber and connector options like SC/UPC, it simplifies deployments in aerial, underground, or direct-buried scenarios. Ideal for extending service provider networks to customer premises with dependable, weatherproof connectivity.
