Double Jacket Round Type FTTH Drop Cable: Durability Meets Flexibility for Global FTTH Deployment

Introduction: The Critical Role of Drop Cables in Modern Connectivity

In the rapidly expanding landscape of Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, the drop cable serves as the final link between distribution points and end-users. Among the diverse range of drop cables, the Double Jacket Round Type FTTH Drop Cable stands out for its robust design and adaptability to harsh environments. Designed for outdoor applications, this cable combines mechanical strength with ease of installation, making it ideal for global FTTH projects—from urban deployments to remote rural connectivity initiatives.

At GL FIBER, we leverage 21 years of manufacturing expertise to produce drop cables that meet international standards, including ISO, CE, and Anatel certifications. With a daily production capacity of 3,000 km and a presence in 200+ countries, we are committed to supporting the world’s connectivity needs with reliable, high-performance solutions.

Product Overview: Key Features of the Double Jacket Round Type FTTH Drop Cable

1. Robust Dual-Layer Protection

Outer Jacket: Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), it offers resistance to UV radiation, moisture, and abrasion.

Inner Jacket: A thermoplastic layer provides additional protection against crushing, impact, and rodent damage.
This dual-layer design ensures longevity in outdoor environments, from extreme temperatures (-40°C to +60°C) to challenging terrains.

2. Bend-Insensitive G.657.A Fiber Optic Cable

The cable incorporates G.657.A2 fiber , which allows for a tight bending radius (as low as 7.5 mm) without signal loss. This is critical for installations requiring sharp turns around buildings or within compact ducts.

Compatible with standard G.652.D fibers, it ensures seamless integration with existing infrastructure.

3. Flexible Configuration Options

Available in 1-core or 2-core designs , the cable supports customized lengths and tensile strengths (up to 100N short-term / 40N long-term).

Options include anti-rodent and low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jackets for high-safety applications.

4. Easy Installation and Cost Efficiency

The round design simplifies blowing, pulling, and aerial deployments, reducing labor costs.

Lightweight yet durable, it is suitable for FTTH drop cable installations in densely populated areas or rugged landscapes.

Applications: Where Does This Drop Cable Excel?

Urban FTTH Rollouts: Its compact size and bend resistance make it ideal for threading through urban conduits.

Rural and Remote Connectivity: The double jacket withstands moisture, temperature fluctuations, and physical stress.

Industrial Zones: LSZH variants ensure safety in environments like power plants or transportation hubs.

Telecom Projects: Compatible with LC, SC, and FC connectors , it facilitates last-mile connections for major operators.
