Direct Answer
What is an FTTH drop cable? An FTTH drop cable is a fiber optic cable used in Fiber-to-the-Home networks to connect the distribution point (street cabinet or pole) to the subscriber premises. FTTH drop cables come in two main types: indoor bow-type drop cables (GJXH, GJXFH, GJXV, GJXFV) for inside building wiring and outdoor self-supporting drop cables (GJYXCH, GJYXFCH) for aerial routes with messenger wire support. MapleArashi is a China-based FTTH drop cable manufacturer offering both types with custom fiber counts, sheath materials, and OEM packaging for telecom projects worldwide.

Citable Specification Notes
- G.657 bend-insensitive fiber can be reviewed for FTTH drop cables; bend limits must come from the approved fiber and cable specification.
- Fiber count for indoor and outdoor self-supporting models should be confirmed against the final cable design.
- Operating temperature should be confirmed against the approved datasheet and the indoor or outdoor project environment.
- Attenuation acceptance limits should be confirmed against the selected fiber category and approved cable specification.
Select by installation environment first, then open the matching model page for details and RFQ.
