Why Drop Cable RFQs Need the Installation Scenario
FTTH drop cable buyers often compare China suppliers by cable structure, pre-terminated connector options and project packing. The RFQ should state whether the cable is used for aerial, indoor, outdoor, customer-premise, terminal-box or ISP rollout applications. This prevents a supplier from quoting the wrong sheath, strength member or connectorized assembly.
Lumafyn can help organize indoor/outdoor drop cable, flat bow-type cable, figure-8 self-supporting cable, pre-terminated SC/APC drop cable and related FTTH accessories into one connected BOM.
FTTH Drop Cable RFQ Fields
When to Use Pre-Terminated FTTH Drop Cable
Pre-terminated drop cable is useful when an ISP or contractor wants faster field deployment and fewer onsite termination steps. The RFQ should include both endpoints, connector type, connector protection, cable length list and whether the product needs factory test records, labels or route identification.
