FAQs
What is the ResiLink™ Toneable Flat Drop Cable?
It’s a flat drop fiber optic cable with an integrated tracer wire for easy identification and location in underground or duct installations.
What does “toneable” mean in this cable?
“Toneable” includes a 24 AWG conductive tracer wire that allows technicians to locate the cable path using standard signal tracing equipment. This wire is co-extruded to the exterior of the cable for easy access and bonding in appropriate terminals inside vaults and Network Interface Devices (NIDs).
What fiber counts are available for this cable?
The ResiLink™ Toneable Flat Drop Cable is available in 36- and 48-fiber configurations, designed to support medium-capacity broadband and access networks.
Where is this cable typically used?
It’s used in broadband, FTTH, and metro telecom networks where aerial, duct, or direct burial drop cable installations require accurate post-installation tracing.
What are the advantages of a toneable flat drop design?
The toneable configuration simplifies cable location and maintenance while offering a compact, flexible, and crush-resistant design for quick, reliable installation.
