The Mini LT Flat Drop Cable offers a compact and lightweight yet durable, self-supporting fiber optic design in an easily accessible construction.

To construct the cable, up to 12 optical fibers are placed in a 2.0 mm gel-filled buffer tube (a 3.0 mm buffer tube for 24-fiber cable) to create a flexible and easy-to-access core. Next, two fiberglass rods are placed diametrically opposite on either side of the fiber core, providing excellent crush resistance and tensile strength during installation and over the lifetime of the cable. The strength member rods and fiber core are then encapsulated in a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket to create a flat cable cross-section and provide added protection to the cable core.

The small, lightweight Mini LT Flat Drop Cable offers an ideal solution for the smaller fiber counts that are needed in the final sections of an optical network, particularly in a fiber-to-the-premise (FTTx) installation. The buffer tube fiber core allows easy access in a flexible design that is easy to handle and install.

The rugged, flat construction of the Mini LT Cable is specifically designed for self-supporting aerial deployments and is fully compatible with the type of aerial hardware shown on the reverse page, allowing faster, lower cost installations. The superior crush resistance and durability of the Mini LT Cable make it robust enough for below-grade installations in ducts or open trenches.

The all-dielectric Mini LT Flat Drop Cable helps to save money by eliminating the need for expensive bonding or grounding.
