OFS DROP NODE CABLE

OFS Drop Node Cable

Loose Tube Fiber Optic Drop Node cable quickly and efficiently connects the optical distribution node (receiver) to the backbone fiber (transmitter) in CATV broadband networks.

Factory-terminated connectors, a fully water-blocked entry connector, and loose tube, dryblocked cable offer exceptional performance and stability over a wide range of outdoor temperature and environmental conditions.

The Drop Node cable is composed of a loose tube fiber optic cable with up to 12 fibers, in an armored or all-dielectric cable design. A designated number of fibers are broken out to a specified length and terminated with your choice of a wide selection of connectors and end polishes. Protective upjacketing is available in 900µm or special cable diameters.

Designed for rugged outdoor use, the drop node cable incorporates a standard 5/8 inch, 24-threaded fitting made from a chromate material that encases an epoxy-filled plug. This plug and housing deliver effective strain relief to eliminate cable pistoning, while providing superior mechanical protection for the optical fibers and a watertight connection to the optical node.
