Fiber Optic Cable Product Categories

Explore IFTcom’s active fiber optic cable offering across the product categories customers actually specify in RFQs and network build plans. From high-fiber-count rollable ribbon and ADSS to loose tube duct cable, microcables, indoor fiber, and FTTX drop cable, we support telecom infrastructure projects with product families matched to real deployment environments.

Rollable Ribbon / High Fiber Count
High-density fiber cable architectures built for compact footprints and faster mass-fusion splicing.
High Density
Rollable ribbon and other high-fiber-count cable designs are used where density, splice efficiency, and route capacity are critical. These products are commonly specified for backbone, aggregation, hyperscale, and other large-scale fiber deployments.
Typical product fit
  • High-fiber-count OSP backbone routes
  • Aggregation points, express routes, and dense hubs
  • Projects using mass-fusion splicing workflows
What to include in an RFQ
  • Target fiber count and ribbon architecture preference
  • Installation environment: aerial, duct, buried, or hybrid
  • Sheath, armoring, waterblocking, and enclosure constraints
Tip: include your target fiber count, splice method, and route environment so we can narrow the right construction faster.

ADSS
All-dielectric self-supporting cable for aerial telecom and utility routes.
Aerial
ADSS cable is designed for self-supporting aerial installation without metallic components, making it a common choice for pole-line routes, utility corridors, and outside plant builds where span performance matters.
Typical product fit
  • Utility and telecom aerial distribution routes
  • Long-span outside plant installations
  • Projects with dielectric construction requirements
What to include in an RFQ
  • Span lengths and route profile
  • Wind, ice, and loading conditions
  • Required fiber count and hardware preferences
Tip: ADSS selection is heavily driven by span and loading criteria, so route detail matters early.

Figure-8 / Lashed Aerial Cable
Aerial fiber cable solutions for messenger-supported and lashed installations.
Aerial
Figure-8 and lashed aerial cables are used where messenger-supported construction or lashing methods are preferred for overhead deployment across feeder, distribution, and access routes.
Typical product fit
  • Messenger-supported aerial builds
  • Distribution and feeder pole-line routes
  • Retrofit projects using existing aerial infrastructure
What to include in an RFQ
  • Figure-8 vs. lashed installation preference
  • Span lengths and route conditions
  • Messenger and hardware requirements
Tip: if the route already has messenger or existing lashing standards, include that upfront.

Loose Tube Duct / Conduit Cable
Outside plant loose tube cable for underground duct, conduit, and backbone routes.
Duct / Underground
Loose tube duct cable is one of the most widely specified OSP cable categories for underground and conduit-based telecom builds. It is commonly selected for metro, regional, campus, and long-haul network routes.
Typical product fit
  • Underground duct and conduit installations
  • Metro, backbone, and campus outside plant routes
  • Projects needing waterblocked or armored options
What to include in an RFQ
  • Fiber count, fiber type, and route length
  • Pulling vs. blowing installation method
  • Dielectric vs. armored construction preference
Tip: give duct size, pull lengths, and whether the project requires armor or waterblocking.

Microcables / Microduct Cable
Compact cable designs optimized for blown fiber and space-constrained duct systems.
Duct / Underground
Microcables are designed for high-density and space-limited deployments where compact outer diameters and blowing performance are key. They are commonly used in modern microduct networks and urban expansion programs.
Typical product fit
  • Microduct and blown fiber systems
  • Urban builds with limited pathway space
  • Scalable network expansion with future fiber growth in mind
What to include in an RFQ
  • Microduct ID and allowable cable OD
  • Route length, bends, and blowing conditions
  • Target fiber count and expansion strategy
Tip: microcable selection depends heavily on duct dimensions and blowing conditions, so dimensional detail helps.

Direct Buried / Armored Cable
Rugged outside plant cable constructions for buried routes and added mechanical protection.
Duct / Underground
Direct buried and armored fiber cables are selected where installations require enhanced mechanical protection, buried-route durability, or added resistance to harsh field conditions.
Typical product fit
  • Direct buried outside plant routes
  • Projects requiring armor or added crush protection
  • Installations exposed to tougher ground conditions
What to include in an RFQ
  • Burial method and route conditions
  • Armor preference and protection requirements
  • Fiber count, installation length, and access points
Tip: note whether the need is direct bury, rodent protection, or simply extra mechanical protection.

Indoor Fiber Cables
Indoor cable constructions for enterprise, data center, and in-building fiber distribution.
Indoor
Indoor fiber cables support in-building network distribution across enterprise, campus, and data center environments. Product options may include distribution, breakout, riser, plenum, and LSZH constructions depending on installation needs.
Typical product fit
  • Data center and MDF/IDF interconnects
  • Enterprise backbone and riser applications
  • Indoor pathways requiring specific fire ratings
What to include in an RFQ
  • Required rating: plenum, riser, or LSZH
  • Distribution vs. breakout preference
  • Termination method and pathway type
Tip: indoor cable specs are often driven by fire rating and termination approach, so both should be listed.

FTTX / Drop Cable
Access network cable solutions for broadband last-mile and subscriber connections.
Access / FTTX
FTTX and drop cable products are used in subscriber access and last-mile broadband builds, supporting network extensions from distribution points to homes, businesses, and multi-dwelling units.
Typical product fit
  • FTTH / FTTP deployment programs
  • MDU and business service drops
  • Broadband access network expansions
What to include in an RFQ
  • Drop style and construction preference
  • Fiber count and route type
  • Pre-terminated vs. field termination requirements
Tip: access builds move faster when the RFQ includes drop style, endpoint type, and termination expectations.
