DIGITUS FTTH Pre-Assembled Blow-In Drop Cable Singlemode 1 Fiber LC/APC 30 m

The DIGITUS FTTH Pre-Assembled Blow-In Drop Cable Singlemode 1 Fiber LC/APC 30 m is a high-performance optical cable designed for fast and efficient fiber-to-the-home network installations. Measuring 30 meters in length and equipped with factory-terminated LC/APC connectors, this singlemode cable delivers reliable high-speed data transmission for telecommunications and broadband setups in residential and office environments. Utilizing advanced bend-insensitive G.657.A2 fiber and air-assisted blow-in technology, it ensures seamless deployment in microducts while maintaining signal integrity even in tight routing spaces.

Advantages

This pre-assembled drop cable eliminates the need for on-site splicing or specialized polishing tools, significantly reducing installation time and labor costs. Its bend-insensitive singlemode fiber minimizes signal attenuation in restricted spaces, ensuring stable performance across demanding broadband applications. The inclusion of aramid yarn strain relief elements provides high tensile strength during installation, while the durable polyethylene outer sheath protects the core from environmental factors. With factory-polished connectors offering low insertion loss and high return loss, the cable guarantees optimal optical performance right out of the box.

Suitable for

• FTTH network expansion and last-mile connections
• High-speed broadband internet setups in homes and offices
• Air-assisted blow-in installation in microducts
• Connecting network equipment using LC/APC interfaces

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not designed for outdoor overhead aerial installations without proper catenary support, nor is it intended for heavy industrial environments where the sheath could be exposed to severe mechanical crushing or sharp edges. Additionally, the 30-meter fixed length may be either too short or too long for deployments requiring custom spans, requiring precise distance planning prior to installation.

How to use

Prepare the microduct route carefully, ensuring it is clean, unobstructed, and properly sized for the cable diameter. Utilize compatible air-assisted blow-in equipment to feed the 30-meter drop cable through the microduct system without exceeding recommended tension limits. Once the cable reaches the termination point, secure the stoppers and route the pre-terminated LC/APC connectors directly into the corresponding network terminals, patch panels, or optical network units. Avoid sharp bends beyond the minimum bending radius during final routing and management.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 30-meter length precisely matches the required distance between the distribution point and the indoor termination equipment
• Ensure existing pathways or microducts are compatible with blow-in installation methods
• Confirm that network hardware utilizes LC/APC compatible interface ports

Usage recommendations: Always protect connectors from dust and physical contact by using dust caps until the moment of connection. Inspect and clean optical end-faces with specialized fiber cleaning tools before mating to ensure maximum signal transmission quality and prevent contamination of network ports.
