RealFlex 5 Drop Cables
ADC’s new RealFlex Drop Cables are an ideal solution for the unique challenges encountered in
the diversity of multiple tenant unit (MTU) and multiple dwelling unit (MDU) FTTX deployments.
RealFlex Drop Cables allow for a bend radius as small as 7.5 mm without changing attenuation
characteristics of the cable and improve insertion loss (IL) performance for 90 degree bend
locations. With the average MTU or MDU installation including as many as seven 90 degree
turns, this new cable greatly reduces the risk to bend induced IL during installation. In addition
to the improved bend radius performance, the rugged cable construction provides the flexibility
and durability to withstand the most demanding applications. The rugged indoor/outdoor cables
can also be stapled*, allowing for fast and easy securing of cables to most surfaces. The RealFlex
5 cable construction allows the technician to staple around tight corners without compromising
insertion loss performance.
ADC’s RealFlex 5 Drop Cables uses 5.0 mm cable with reduced bend radius fiber for optimal
performance in the most constraining installation environments and full sized hardened connectors
for fast service turn-up. The hardened connectors are environmentally sealed and terminated in
the factory to produce the highest reliability standards. Multiple dwelling units and commercial
business applications are ideal environments for this indoor/outdoor reduced bend radius
hardened drop cable.
