12 or 24f FlexDrop Cable
Prysmian’s FlexDrop cable design is ideal for outdoor applications where a small-diameter, highly flexible cable is required, and mass fusion splicing is desired. The FlexDrop design supports up to two 12-fiber FlexRibbons in the central core, resulting in a compact overall diameter.
The round design (RRD) is for blown applications into microduct only. The flat design (RFD) is for flat drop applications.
