FTTH Drop Cable Patchcord
With the development of fiber optic communication, FTTH has been the final solution of fiber optic network. It adapts to the demand on high speed and massive transmission of optical network signals from many users. In FTTH access projects, common indoor fiber optic cable cannot meet the requests of indoor distribution in mechanical ability and tensile properties. Under the situation of market’s needs, FTTH drop cable with low bending radius and high intensity has been widely used in FTTH’s access network.
