FAQs
What is a ResiLink™ All-Dielectric Drop Cable?
ResiLink™ is an all-dielectric flat drop fiber optic cable designed for aerial, duct, or buried installations. It is designed to self-support aerially within the span lengths according to the NESC loading conditions and installed sag. It provides high mechanical protection without the need for metallic components.
What does "all-dielectric" mean?
“All-dielectric” means the cable contains no metallic elements. Instead, it uses non-conductive materials that eliminate the need for grounding and improve safety in aerial and buried applications.
What fiber counts are available for our ResiLink™ Drop Cable?
The ResiLink™ All-Dielectric Drop Cable is available in 36- and 48-fiber configurations. It supports higher-capacity networks while maintaining a compact, lightweight design. Traditional ResiLink All-Dielectric Flat Drop Cables are also available with a single-buffer tube design, from 1 to 24 fibers.
Where is ResiLink™ Drop Cable typically used?
It is ideal for access networks, FTTH, FTTA, PON systems, and broadband infrastructure that require self-supporting or direct-burial drop cable solutions. It is well-suited for rapid deployments.
What makes Prysmian a leader in flat drop fiber optic cables?
Prysmian is the world’s largest cable solutions provider, known for innovation, quality, and reliability. Our ResiLink™ products are engineered and manufactured in North America to meet stringent industry standards and evolving broadband demands.
