Drop cables is a type of fiber optic cable and play a crucial role in the ‘last mile’ of the network, which is the final leg of delivering connectivity from the telecommunications provider to the customer. Drop cable solutions often streamline the deployment of FTTH networks to provide high-speed internet access, television, and telephony services with the reliability and high bandwidth only offered by fiber optics.
Fiber optic drop cables have a central single-mode optical fiber core, reinforced by aramid yarn strength members, and a tough outer jacket. This structure ensures high-speed data transmission, durability during installation, and protection against environmental factors for dependable last-mile telecommunications connectivity.
Multiple cores within the cable.
Transmits optical signals efficiently.

Provides cable identification and differentiation.
Fiber Core is the heart of the fiber optic cable where the network signal is transmitted. The core is typically made of glass (silica), It has a higher transmission capability and is mostly used in telecommunications. the types are single-mode G.652, G.655, G.657, Multi-mode OM2, OM3, OM4 and more. The strength member to withstand environmental stresses like pulling, bending, and crushing. In different cables, can be made of materials like aramid yarns (e.g., Kevlar), steel wires, and fibreglass. The armour layer is to protect the cable from mechanical damage such as cuts, abrasions, and crush loads that could occur during installation or service. The outer jacket, or sheath, is the outermost layer of the cable and is responsible for environmental protection. Materials used for the jacket include PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride), LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), polyethylene (PE), and polyurethane (PU). Each material serves different environments.
