What Is FTTH Drop Cable?
FTTH drop cable is the last-mile optical cable that connects a distribution point to a home, apartment, office or subscriber terminal. It is designed for practical installation, termination and reliable broadband access.
Common FTTH Drop Cable Types
GJXH Indoor Drop Cable
GJXH is commonly used for indoor or wall-mounted access routes. It is compact, easy to strip and suitable for termination in subscriber environments.
GJYXCH Self-Supporting Drop Cable
GJYXCH includes a supporting messenger element for aerial drop routes. It is suitable for pole-to-building and outdoor last-mile installation.
Key Benefits
- Small size and low weight
- Easy stripping and termination
- G.657 fiber options for improved bend performance
- Indoor, wall-mounted and aerial installation choices
- LSZH or PVC jacket options
How to Select a Drop Cable
Confirm the route, fiber count, indoor or outdoor exposure, aerial support need, jacket material, termination method and required length. YITOFC can customize cable color, printing, messenger wire, strength member and packaging.
Project Selection Checklist
Start with the route and application rather than a product name. Record whether the cable will be installed in duct, directly buried, aerial, wall-mounted or indoors; then confirm the fiber count, required capacity, expected service life and future expansion plan.
Information to Prepare Before Quotation
- Installation method and route condition
- Fiber count, fiber type and target application
- Mechanical conditions such as span, tension, crush risk, UV and moisture exposure
- Quantity, length per drum, delivery destination and packing requirement
- Required standards, labels, test reports and technical documentation
Common Specification Mistakes
Do not select a cable solely by its name, fiber count or lowest unit price. Similar-looking products may use different armor, water-blocking design, strength members, sheath material or test scope. Confirm the data sheet, construction drawing and inspection requirement before placing a volume order.
FAQ
Can the cable be customized for my project?
Yes. YITOFC can review fiber count, fiber type, cable structure, jacket, color, printing, meter marking, drum length and export packing according to the confirmed application.
Should I request samples or documentation first?
For a new model, tender or distribution program, request the technical data sheet and confirm the key construction details before production. Samples can be discussed according to the cable type and project requirement.
