Codecom’s External Drop and Feed Cables are pre-connectorised fibre assemblies designed for rapid, tool-free deployment of Fibre to the Home (FTTH) networks. Fitted with OptiTap® Compatible SC/APC Hardened Connectors, these cables eliminate the need for skilled on-site splicing, significantly reducing both capital and operational expenditure while accelerating installation timelines.

Both cable types are used in conjunction with the Codecom Underground Access Terminal (UAT) to deliver a complete, pre-connectorised solution for cascaded optical distribution networks. The compact cable design allows for ease of hauling in both new and existing dwellings, while IP68-rated hardened connectors ensure long-term reliability in harsh underground and outdoor environments.
