Flat Drop Fiber
Product Overview
NetSource’s Flat Drop Cable is a durable, high-performance solution for fiber-to-the-premises (FTTP) and broadband deployments. Offered in 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 fiber counts, this compact cable is available in both dielectric and toneable versions to meet diverse installation requirements.
The dielectric version features a lightweight, non-metallic design with no grounding needed. The toneable version integrates a 24 AWG copper locate wire for easy detection in underground applications. Both variants include a UV-resistant high-density polyethylene (HDPE) jacket and dual fiberglass strength members, making them suitable for aerial, duct, or direct-buried use.
With a flat profile and proven field reliability, this cable supports rapid deployment in access networks, MDUs, and residential drops.
