FTTA Components And Products

Common fiber optic connector types used in FTTA systems include ODC, LC, SC, and MPO. ODC connectors, designed for harsh environments, have become the standard interface for 3G, 4G, and FTTA applications. Cable assemblies for these connectors are available from various suppliers.

 

FTTA patch cables typically feature a stainless steel spiral armor design with an IP67 sealing rating. They support single-mode/multimode fiber with wavelengths of 1310nm or 1550nm, and lengths can be customized from 1-200 meters. Hybrid and composite cables combine fiber optic and power lines into a single cable, simplifying installation and saving tower space. Pre-terminated and distribution solutions use pre-terminated multi-core trunk cables with patch panels or splitters to achieve single-layout, multi-device sharing, facilitating expansion and maintenance. Other components include overlength boxes for cable management.
