KT loose outdoor drop cable

Under FTTH (Fiber to the Home) an important number of standards and solutions are collected, with the aim of  bringing new services to homes through optical fiber, without the need of the tradicional solutions based on coaxial cable or telephone copper pairs.
 
One of the main challenges in FTTH network development is laying optical cable inside buildings specially in blocks of flats. These cables provide the distribution of the optical signal inside buildings, typically between the outlet box of each plant and wall socket at the subscriber's home.

The KT tight drop cable contains a single tight buffered fiber (900 micron) optimized against curvatures, and loose tube of PBT surrounding tight buffered fiber. Aramid yarns provide longitudinal tension reinforcement and flame retardant cover is ideal for indoor applications. All the plastic materials comply with IEC 332-1, EN 50267-2-2 and EN 50268-1 regarding no flame propagation, no halogen  and low smoke emission.

This solution can be complemented with the rest of TELNET FTTH portfolio: drop cables, Splitters, loose tube cable for trunk and access network, termination boxes, splice closures, microcables and patchcords.
