For Nigerian deployments, this product should be evaluated as part of the complete network path, including its connectors, mapping and acceptance values. The made-to-order duplex FTTA program builds the standard outdoor base station jumper to the exact configuration of the site: LC or SC connectors in any mix, the measured route length from a few meters to full tower runs, and armored breakout lengths matched to the hardware at every end. The cable assembly platform is unchanged: two OS2 9/125µm single-mode fibers of Corning G.657.A1 glass in a 7.0mm LSZH outdoor jacket, with helical steel armored branches protecting the tails and a potted, strain-relieved breakout point.

Configured around the site, not the catalog
Base station sites differ in each dimension: tower height, shelter position, enclosure type and hardware generation. A made-to-order FTTA jumper takes those dimensions as input. The interface connector mix follows the actual ports on the baseband and radio sides, the length follows the measured route with working slack, and the armored breakout at every end follows the position where the backbone trunk separates into legs. The result installs without adaptors, without a service loop of surplus cable, and without field termination.
Selecting the armored breakout length
The breakout is the point where the 7.0mm trunk divides into two protected legs. A short 0.03m breakout suits a compact enclosure where the two connectors sit side by side; the standard 0.34m armored branch reaches separated ports inside a radio shroud or distribution box; a 0.2m intermediate option covers layouts in between. Choosing the right breakout keeps each centimeter of exposed fiber inside the helical steel tube, which is where crush and rodent damage actually happen.
The same outdoor rating as the standard family
Customization changes the configuration, not the engineering. The cable assembly retains the 200/400N long and short-term tensile rating for pulling and vertical hanging, the 1100/2200N crush resistance, and the -20 to 70 degree Celsius operating range. G.657.A1 glass keeps the 10D static bend tolerance that congested enclosures demand, and remains compatible with fitted G.652.D feeder plant.
Documentation and repeatability for rollouts
For multi-site deployments, the configuration is recorded once and repeated exactly: connector mix, length, breakout, labelling. Crews at site fifty install the identical cord that was validated at site one, which keeps commissioning time predictable and spares planning simple. The labelling scheme might comply with the customer document, with leg identification at the two cable ends printed to match the site record.
Stock lengths and made-to-order sizes
State the measured route length with the enquiry, including the tray path and working slack at the two cable ends; the factory builds to that figure and confirms the manufacturable specification before the build starts.
Inspection and test procedures
Each made-to-order cord is terminated with precision zirconia ferrule connectors and optically tested as a whole assembly: insertion loss is verified against the 0.3dB ceiling and return loss against the 50dB minimum on every breakout leg. End-face geometry is inspected on every optical connector, and the delivered cord is ready to plug into service without on-site rework.
Ordering Information and Support
Send the needed connector mix, route length and breakout preference with the enquiry. The factory confirms the manufacturable specification before the build starts and keeps the configuration on record for repeat orders across the rollout. For Nigerian orders, our team can check the requirement before coordinating manufacture and international delivery.
