The FTTH Drop Fiber Cable is also called butterfly optical cable because it looks like a butterfly in cross section. It has the advantages of small outer diameter, light weight, low cost, reliable performance, and easy installation. FTTH Butterfly Optic Cables, also known as flat drop fiber cables, feature a compact flat profile with optical fibers placed at the center and reinforced by parallel strength members on both sides. However, despite its apparent benefits, cold splicing mainly finds application in emergency situations following communication interruptions. That's because it has some significant drawbacks: Higher loss: The physical connection results in a higher loss than fusion splicing. The main types of drop cable include indoor drop cable (GJXFH, GJXH, GJXKH), outdoor self-supporting drop cable (GJYXCH, GJYXFCH, GJYXKCH), flat drop cable, and circular drop cable.
