Flat and Round Drop Cable Pigtail
With Hardened SC/APC (OptiTap) Connector
OptiTap Cable Assembly is factory -terminated, environmentally
sealed and hardened connector to reduce the cost and the time of
drop cable deployment in optical access networks. OptiTap connector
assemblies provide a robust and sealed connection solution for FTTX
connectivity. The hardened connector end incorporates an SC/APC
type connection within a slim, sealed, threaded polymer housing
allowing easy connection to either a multiport terminal or in-line
extension receptacle. The SC/APC connector mates to a standard
adapter, providing a common interface. Available with flat drop or
traditional round style outdoor cables, the hardened connector
provides an ideal solution for direct burial, conduit, or aerial
installations. The OptiTap. Single -Fiber Drop Cable Assembly is
specifically designed to significantly reduce required drop cable
installation
