Mini TB Flat Drop Cable
The Mini TB Flat Drop Cable offers a compact and lightweight yet rugged cable that offers the durability needed for outside plant use along with the flexibility required for tight bends inside residences. This cable construction begins with a single-fiber OFNR 3.0 mm Ruggedized EZ-Bend cordage that forms the fiber core. Two fiberglass rods are added, diametrically opposite, on either side of the fiber core. The rods and fiber core are then encapsulated in a durable polyethylene (PE) jacket for added protection, creating a flat cable corss-section.

Product Description
The Mini TB Flat Drop Cable offers a compact and lightweight yet rugged cable that offers the durability needed for outside plant use along with the flexibility required for tight bends inside residences.

Why the Mini TB Flat Drop Cable?
The Mini TB Flat Drop Cable offers an ideal solution for direct routing into living units for the final section of an optical network, especially in a fiber-to-the-premise (FTTx) installation. The riser-rated EZ-Bend subunit allows this cable to be installed directly from the pedestal to the indoor Optical Network Terminal (ONT) with no intermediate termination. This capability helps to save time and money by avoiding splicing and/or termination on the outside or inside wall of a residence. The all-dielectric version of the Mini TB Flat Drop Cable also helps to save money by elliminating the need for expensive bonding or grounding.
The excellent tensile strength and crush resistance of the Mini TB Flat Drop Cable make it robust enough for below-grade installation in ducts or open trenches, and also ideal for self-supporting aerial deployments.
