Digitus FTTH pre-assembled drop cable, blow-in, singlemode, 1 fiber, LC/APC, 50 m

The Digitus FTTH pre-assembled drop cable, blow-in, singlemode, 1 fiber, LC/APC, 50 m is a specialized fiber optic cable engineered for efficient and fast installation using air pressure blow-in technology in microducts. This cable comes with factory pre-terminated polished connectors, eliminating the need for on-site splicing and significantly reducing installation time and potential points of failure. It enables fast and uninterrupted installation of fiber optic connections to homes and businesses, ensuring high-quality, fast, and low-latency connections within complex network infrastructures. The cable offers a future-proof solution for modern fiber optic networks by optimally combining efficiency, reliability, and scalability.

Advantages

This pre-assembled, blow-in cable is characterized by high flexibility, low friction, and prefabricated connectors, enabling fast and reliable installation without splicing work on site. Its bend-insensitive singlemode fiber ensures reliable performance even in tight installation areas with minimal signal loss. The compact design allows for air-assisted blow-in installation in microducts, while integrated aramid yarn reinforcement provides excellent strain relief and durability during deployment.

Suitable for

• FTTH network expansion and last-mile connections
• Fiber optic connections for homes and businesses
• Installations in microducts using air-assisted blow-in technology
• High-speed telecommunications requiring low signal loss

This cable may not be suitable for direct burial installations without appropriate protective conduits or heavy-duty outdoor pulling applications where extreme mechanical stress exceeds the designed tensile strength of a lightweight drop cable. It is specifically designed for microduct blow-in methods and indoor or protected last-mile routing rather than rugged industrial or overhead pole line deployment without proper infrastructure.

To use the cable, carefully inspect the microduct pathway to ensure it is clean, unobstructed, and compatible with the outer diameter of the cable and stopper. Use standard air-assisted blow-in equipment designed for microduct installation to feed the 50-meter singlemode cable smoothly into the conduit, paying attention to the minimum bending radius limits. Once the cable has reached its destination, carefully connect the factory-terminated LC/APC connectors to the corresponding network termination devices or patch panels without requiring any on-site splicing.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 50-meter length is sufficient for your specific routing distance between the distribution point and the termination location
• Ensure that your installation route utilizes compatible microducts suitable for blow-in deployment
• Confirm that network equipment ports are compatible with LC/APC singlemode connectors

Always maintain the specified minimum bending radius of 10 mm during and after installation to prevent signal degradation and ensure long-term stability in your fiber optic network.
