Outside Plant Cables
Product Overview
NetSource’s Pre-Terminated Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber Cable Assemblies provide a rugged, factory-configured solution for OSP deployments. Designed for rapid installation and long-term reliability, these assemblies are terminated with SC or LC connectors and built using flat drop cable (toneable or dielectric), round OSP cable (armored or non-armored), or Rapid Outdoor Cable™ (ROC™)—a flexible, all-dielectric design engineered for quick, low-friction installations in tight or congested environments.
Each assembly is custom-built and fully tested to meet customer requirements, including breakout type, jacket style, and optional pulling eyes. Commonly used to extend fiber from the distribution network to the customer premises, these cables are ideal for aerial, direct-buried, or duct applications—ensuring reliable, long-term performance in harsh outdoor conditions.
