Custom Mini SC Hardened Pre-terminated Drop Cable
-
High Tensile Construction: The outdoor-rated jacket is reinforced with internal strength members (FRP or steel wire) to withstand severe pulling tensions during conduit installation and aerial suspension.
-
Environmental Resiliency: Extruded with premium UV-resistant LSZH or PE compounds to prevent jacket degradation from prolonged sun exposure and extreme temperature fluctuations.
-
Predictable Optical Budgets: Factory termination ensures consistent, ultra-low insertion loss, which is critical for maintaining strict GPON/EPON optical power budgets over the last mile.
Product Description
The Hardened Pre-terminated FTTH Drop Cable is the definitive physical layer solution for rapid broadband deployment. Designed specifically to survive harsh outdoor environments, this cable assembly bridges the gap between the neighborhood distribution box and the subscriber's premise without requiring specialized splice technicians. It features a heavy-duty Mini SC connector for the outdoor enclosure and a standard SC connector for the indoor Optical Network Unit (ONU). Manufactured and rigorously tested in WolonFiber's facilities, these factory-polished assemblies guarantee minimal insertion loss and robust tensile strength for aerial or ducted installations.
Product Highlights
-
True Plug-and-Play: Factory-terminated with a ruggedized outdoor connector, completely eliminating the costly and time-consuming need for field fusion splicing.
-
Hardened Interface: Features an industry-standard Mini SC waterproof connector designed to mate seamlessly with exterior Fiber Access Terminals (FAT).
-
IP68 Weatherproofing: The hardened connector body incorporates silicone O-rings and a threaded locking mechanism to provide absolute ingress protection against water, dust, and severe weather.
-
Labor Cost Eradication: Drastically accelerates last-mile subscriber installations, reducing technician deployment time from hours to mere minutes per household.
Application Scenarios
-
Direct aerial or underground routing from street-level Fiber Access Terminals (FAT) to residential homes.
-
Rapid emergency broadband restorations requiring immediate, tool-less physical connectivity.

Engineering FAQs
-
Q: Is the outdoor connector compatible with standard Huawei FTTH equipment? A: Yes. The Mini SC hardened connector is dimensionally engineered to mate perfectly with standard Huawei outdoor closures, FAT boxes, and corresponding hardened adapters.
-
Q: What is the mechanical difference between "Hardened" and standard SC connectors? A: Standard SC connectors are designed for dry, indoor environments. A hardened connector encases the SC ferrule inside an elongated, ruggedized housing equipped with weather-sealing O-rings and a bayonet or threaded lock, achieving an IP68 waterproof rating.
-
Q: Can this cable be pulled through underground micro-ducts? A: Yes. The ruggedized outer jacket and integrated strength members provide the necessary tensile strength to be safely pulled through underground conduits without elongating the internal glass fibers.
-
Q: How do I handle excess cable slack if I order pre-cut lengths? A: Installers typically coil the excess slack into external slack storage boxes mounted on the exterior wall of the subscriber's premise, ensuring the bend radius limits are strictly maintained.
