The indoor/outdoor tight buffer fiber drop cable is a compact and versatile fiber optic cable designed for connecting homes or buildings to the main fiber network. Tight buffer fiber drop cable has a small diameter of 4.8mm, making it easy to handle and install. The tight buffered fiber drop cable are generally constructed with 0.9mm tight buffered fibre surrounded by Aramid yarn or glass yarn strength members jacketed in an double LSZH outer jacket. This tight buffer fiber drop cable is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, providing a reliable and efficient solution for extending fiber connectivity.
The tight buffer fiber drop cable specifically designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, This tight buffer fiber drop cable features a durable construction that can exposure to sunlight, moisture, and temperature variations, ensuring reliable performance in any environment. With tight buffer fiber drop cable small diameter and tight buffer design, it offers flexibility and easy installation in tight spaces like duct or wall grooves. The indoor/outdoor tight buffer fiber drop cable guarantees dependable connectivity, enabling high-speed data transmission.
The Indoor/outdoor fiber drop cables usually use aramid yarn or glass yarn.
Aramid yarn has excellent tensile strength and rigidity, which can effectively increase the durability and tensile capacity of fiber optic cables. When external force or tension is applied, aramid yarn plays a role in dispersing and absorbing stress, effectively preventing the fiber optic cable from being broken or damaged.
Glass yarn is also a commonly used reinforcing material with high hardness and compression resistance, which can provide an extra layer of protection to prevent some rodents (such as mice) from chewing fiber optic cables, causing signal interruption or fiber damage.
1. OFNR (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Riser) are designed for riser applications. They are used in spaces inside a building that connect floors, such as vertical zones or spaces between floors. These OFNR fiber optic cables are engineered to prevent the spread of fire from one floor to another within a building.
2. OFNP (Optical Fiber Nonconductive Plenum) are used inside buildings in plenum areas, the areas between a ceiling and the floor above it, where space is reserved for the circulation of air. At the same time, this OFNP fiber optic cable will not emit toxic smoke or steam.

The indoor/outdoor fiber drop cable can withstand outdoor conditions while also meeting requirements for indoor use.
The difference between tight buffered and loose tube fiber optic cables is the construction. In tight buffered fiber optic cables, there isn't a gap between the fibre coating and cladding layers. Whereas loose tube fiber optic cables have a gap, either filled with gel or are loose in the cable.
