FTTH DROP CABLE DEAD END

The FTTH (Fiber – To – The – Home) drop cable dead – end is a crucial component within the FTTH network. Its primary function is to securely terminate the drop cable, establishing a reliable connection between the cable and the user’s terminal device, such as the Optical Network Unit (ONU). By firmly fastening the drop cable at this point, it safeguards against connection disruptions caused by external forces like pulling, vibration, or environmental factors. This ensures that users can continuously enjoy high – quality fiber – optic communication services.
Jera Line produce the dead end guy grips to attach different cable size from up to 6.5mm drop cables.

Key Features:
1.Secure Connectivity

The FTTH drop cable dead – end is equipped with cable – securing components made of high – strength metals or durable engineering plastics. These components have uniquely designed grooves or clamps that tightly encircle and hold the outer sheath of the drop cable. They can withstand significant tensile forces, effectively preventing the cable from slipping out of the dead – end, ensuring a stable and long – lasting connection.
2. Diverse Connection Methods
The fiber optic splicing mechanism provides core support for connecting the drop cable and the optical fibers inside the user’s equipment. There are two common splicing methods: fusion splicing and mechanical (cold) splicing. Fusion splicing can offer a low – loss and highly reliable connection. Cold splicing, on the other hand, is more user – friendly and suitable for rapid on – site installations.
3. Comprehensive Protection
It comes with a protective enclosure that is waterproof, dust – proof, and UV – resistant, made of high – grade plastics or composite materials. This enclosure not only prevents contaminants such as water and dust from infiltrating and damaging the fiber optic connection but also resists UV radiation, extending the lifespan of the dead – end unit. In extreme outdoor environments, some protective enclosures are also designed with impact – resistant features to withstand potential physical damage.
4. Installation Flexibility
The selection of the installation location is quite flexible. It can be installed on the inner side of the user’s building exterior wall, close to the indoor weak – current box. This location is convenient for indoor wiring and reduces the risk of the cable being exposed to the outdoors, minimizing the possibility of damage. Meanwhile, the installation process is carried out in clear steps, making it easy for construction workers to operate.
5. Easy Maintenance
It is convenient for regular inspection and maintenance. Routine checks can be carried out by examining whether the cable – securing components are loose and whether the protective enclosure has cracks or openings. Professional fiber optic testing equipment such as an Optical Time – Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) can also be used to measure the fiber optic connection loss. Once problems are detected, relevant components can be repaired or replaced in a timely manner to ensure the continuity of user communication services.
