Introduction of FTTA Outdoor Fiber Cabling Assemblies
FTTA outdoor fiber cabling assemblies are water-proof FTTA CPRI fiber patch cables with feature of IP67 grade. FTTA fiber patch cables consist of two primary components: the fiber optic cable and the fiber connector. The fiber optic cable is either single mode or multimode and can be armored or non-armored depending on the application. The fiber connector is typically terminated with a waterproof connector, such as ODVA, PDLC, NSN, Mini SC, Mini MPO and AARC etc. These fiber connectors are designed to withstand harsh outdoor environments and are available in a variety of styles and configurations, including pre-terminated fiber optic pigtails or fiber optic adapters that are field terminated on site.
The optical cable length of FTTA CPRI fiber patch cables can vary depending on the distance between the antenna and the base station. These optical cables can be customized to specific lengths to fit the unique requirements of each installation.
Exploring the Construction and Performance of FTTA Optical Cables
FTTA optical cables typically consist of a central core made of optical fibers surrounded by protective layers. The optical fiber can be either single mode or multimode, depending on the application requirements. The protective layers include buffer tubes, strength members (usually made of aramid yarn), and outer jackets.
FTTA optical cables can be used LSZH or TPU material outer jackets. LSZH materials are flame-retardant, emit low smoke, and are environmentally friendly. TPU materials offer flexibility, abrasion resistance, and flame retardancy making them ideal for FTTA optical cables exposed to harsh outdoor conditions. The choice of jacket material depends on specific application requirements and safety regulations.
The Categories of FTTA Outdoor Fiber Cabling Assemblies
There are many types of FTTA fiber connectors. The following are some common types of FTTA fiber connectors.
ODVA SC, LC, MPO fiber connectors are a popular FTTA fiber connector that provides IP67-rated water and dust resistance. ODVA fiber connector is widely used in outdoor applications such as mobile communication base stations.
PDLC fiber optic connector is another commonly used FTTA fiber connector known for its ruggedness and weather resistance. PDLC outdoor fiber patch cable features a push-pull design and is suitable for outdoor installations.
NSN boot duplex LC fiber connector is developed by Nokia Siemens Networks. NSN fiber connector offers protection against environmental factors and maintains reliable signal transmission in outdoor settings.
AARC outdoor cable assemblies is a specialized FTTA fiber connector manufactured by Amphenol. AARC fiber connector is designed for outdoor wireless applications, providing excellent water and dust protection.
What is FTTA Technology Solutions
The FTTA(Fiber to the Antenna) is accompanied by the Remote Radio Unit(RRU) and the technology of the optical fiber repeater. The excellent transmission characteristics of the optical fiber realize the extension of the base band unit(BBU)signal and the Remote Radio Unit(RRU) signal. Therefore, it is convenient for the site selection of the base station, the installation of the antenna, and the rational use of the carrier frequency resources, which is a technology that has developed rapidly in recent years.
FTTA technology solution can reduce the loss of signal power greatly, the maximum transmission distance can reach to 20km which realizes centralized placement of base stations in lower-cost telecommunication rooms as same as more flexible and modularized network planning. FTTA is an innovative, flexible and future-oriented way in network applications.
