Applications

Sumitomo’s patent-pending Locatable Drop cable facilitates both increased cost savings and improved efficiency when installed as a low fiber count distribution cable and as the final drop to the premise. With this cable, the time-consuming process of grounding one or both ends of the cable is eliminated. Technicians simply zip or peel back the metallic locator by hand, separating it from the dielectric optical cable.

Due to the cable’s unique design, it can be detected underground using standard locating equipment. By easily removing the entire length of the locator, the cable can be used for aerial applications, as well. Lighter, smaller, and more flexible than armored cables, Sumitomo’s locatable drop cables offer a superior solution over existing armored-type cable for FTTP and FTTx applications.
