Product Description
Fiber-to-the-Antenna (FTTA) is a modern wireless site architecture in which optical fiber
replaces traditional heavy coaxial cables and is routed directly up
the tower. Key components such as Remote Radio Units (RRUs) are
installed at the top of the tower instead of at the base station,
significantly reducing signal loss and improving overall network
performance.
FiberMania’s FTTA solutions provide robust cable connectivity and
electrical protection for Remote Radio Head (RRH) equipment
deployed on cellular towers, rooftops, and other outdoor
structures. Our FTTA patch cords typically contain two single-mode
fibers, with one end terminated using IP-series waterproof
connectors and the other end equipped with standard RRU-compatible
connectors such as LC duplex.
We offer both fully assembled factory-terminated FTTA patch cables
and a wide selection of outdoor-rated connectors for rapid on-site
installation. Available connector types include IP Series, ODVA,
OptiTap, H-Connector, ODC, RDC, AARC, FullAXS, RFE, IP-FX, Mini-SC,
PDLC, NSN, and various other field-deployable tactical connectors.
Features
Manufactured with high-grade low-loss fibers (e.g., Corning
G.657A1) to ensure stable and reliable optical transmission.
Provides insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and SM return loss ≥50 dB,
effectively minimizing reflection and energy loss for optimal
performance.
Achieves IP67+ protection, delivering strong resistance to rain,
moisture, and challenging outdoor weather conditions.
UV-resistant design ensures long-term durability under continuous
exposure to sunlight.
Rugged construction resists crushing and mechanical stress,
protecting fibers from damage during installation or use.
Highly flexible with G657A1/A2 fibers, enabling tight bends and
complex routing without performance degradation.
Equipped with quick-connect interfaces such as LC and SC for fast
installation and easy maintenance.
Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) and storage range
(-40°C to +80°C); dustproof and corrosion-resistant for complex
outdoor environments.
Specification
Applications
Serves as a critical link in 4G and 5G base stations—connecting AAU
to DU (5G) and RRU to BBU (4G) for stable high-speed signal
transmission.
Enables efficient optical communication between essential
components in distributed base station systems, supporting flexible
site deployment.
Facilitates long-distance signal delivery between base station
equipment and antennas in wireless access networks, including
WiMAX.
Suitable for outdoor horizontal and vertical cabling on building
exteriors, communication towers, and other elevated structures.
Supports fiber connections between RRUs and BBUs, enabling reliable
remote signal transmission.
Widely used in power communication systems to maintain stable
optical signal transmission for grid operation.
Quality Control and Testing Program
IL and RL Testing
Conduct testing on the insertion loss and return loss of cables to
verify their reach and ensure stable signal transmission.
3D Interferometer Testing
Evaluate the connectors or ferrules of cables to verify that the
apex offset, radius of curvature, and fiber height are within the
specified parameters, ensuring a successful connection of fiber
optic lines.
