Overview of Toneable Gel-Filled Flat Drop Cable
The Toneable Gel-Filled Flat Drop Cable is designed for versatile outdoor FTTx applications, including aerial, duct, and direct-buried installations. Featuring a single loose tube with 1–12 fibers, this cable offers excellent mechanical protection, moisture resistance, and easy installation. Its dielectric design eliminates bonding or grounding requirements while the copper toning conductor allows effortless underground location.
Manufactured with a PBT loose tube filled with water-blocking gel and a durable HDPE jacket, this flat drop cable provides outstanding UV, abrasion, and environmental protection. Parallel dielectric strength members offer superior crush resistance, making this cable ideal for long-lasting field deployment.
