FTTA CPRI LC Outdoor Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies – Rugged & Weatherproof Design
$8.00
CPRI fiber patch cable is the ideal design for outdoor fiber cable applications. Such product can meet the FTTA(fiber to the Antenna) program requirements for outdoor environment conditions. Especially in the 3G, 4G, Base station (BBU to RRU). CPRI fiber patch cable are rapidly becoming the standard connector interface.
Overview of CPRI LC Outdoor Cable Assemblies (FTTA)
CPRI LC Outdoor Cable Assemblies are specialized fiber optic cables designed for Fiber to the Antenna (FTTA) applications. They provide high‑performance data connection between Remote Radio Units (RRUs) and Baseband Units (BBUs) in 4G/5G telecom systems. These assemblies feature rugged outdoor construction with waterproof and UV‑resistant jackets for long‑term reliability in harsh environments.
The cables use LC duplex connectors and low‑loss single‑mode fibers compliant with ITU‑T G.657A2 or G.652D standards. Pre‑assembled design ensures quick installation and reduced on‑site labor, especially for tower mounting and outdoor enclosures.
