The GJXFH butterfly drop cable is designed for the final connection between fiber distribution points and subscriber premises in Fiber to the Home (FTTH) networks. It features a compact flat structure with an optical fiber positioned in the center and two parallel fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) strength members on both sides. The outer low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) flame-retardant sheath provides protection while maintaining a lightweight and easy-to-install design.
With its non-metallic reinforcement, bend-insensitive fiber options, and center groove design, this cable is suitable for indoor fiber routing in residential buildings, offices, and commercial premises. Its compact dimensions simplify cable handling, stripping, splicing, and maintenance in confined installation spaces.
Key Features
- Non-Metallic Strength Members: Two parallel FRP reinforcement rods provide tensile support without introducing metallic components, making the cable suitable for applications requiring non-metallic construction.
- Compact Butterfly Design: The 2.0 mm × 3.0 mm flat profile supports convenient routing through narrow spaces and indoor cable pathways.
- Bend-Insensitive Fiber Options: Supports B6-series optical fibers to help maintain transmission performance in tight bends and space-constrained installations.
- Easy Stripping and Splicing: The central groove simplifies sheath removal, fiber access, fusion splicing, and field maintenance.
- LSZH Flame-Retardant Sheath: The low-smoke zero-halogen outer sheath helps reduce smoke and halogen emissions in the event of a fire.
- Reliable Mechanical Performance: The reinforced structure helps resist tensile forces and external compression during installation.
- Multiple Fiber Options: Supports up to four optical fibers to meet different subscriber connection requirements.
- Flexible Installation: Available with white or black sheathing to accommodate different indoor cabling environments.
Product Overview
The GJXFH non-metallic butterfly drop cable provides a practical solution for last-mile fiber access networks. Its flat, compact structure combines optical transmission, mechanical reinforcement, and convenient installation in a single cable design.
The optical fiber is located at the center of the cable, with two parallel FRP strength members arranged symmetrically on either side. These non-metallic members improve tensile performance and help protect the fiber against mechanical stress during cable routing and installation.
The LSZH flame-retardant outer sheath is suitable for indoor communication installations where low-smoke and halogen-free materials are preferred. The central groove makes it easier to remove the sheath and access the fiber, helping installers complete termination, fusion splicing, and maintenance more efficiently.
Several optical fiber types are available to accommodate different network requirements. B1.1 and B1.3 fibers support conventional single-mode transmission, while B6a and B6b bend-insensitive fibers are suitable for installations involving tighter bends and limited routing space.
With its lightweight structure, non-metallic reinforcement, and straightforward installation characteristics, the GJXFH cable is suitable for residential broadband connections, office networks, and other fiber-to-the-premises deployments.
