Indoor FTTH cables with pre-connected ends, also known as pre-terminated or pre-connectorized cables, are designed for easy and quick installation in residential or commercial environments. Here are some key features and benefits of using these cables:

Features:

1. Pre-Connected Ends:
   • Factory-Terminated: The cables come with connectors already attached at the factory, ensuring high-quality terminations and reducing the risk of field errors.
   • Connector Types: Common connectors include SC, LC, ST, and FC, available in simplex or duplex configurations.
2. Cable Types:
   • Single-mode: Typically used for long-distance and high-bandwidth applications.
   • Multi-mode: Used for shorter distances and is often more cost-effective.
3. Length Options:
   • Custom Lengths: Available in various lengths to suit different installation requirements.
   • Standard Lengths: Often available in standard lengths such as 10m, 20m, 30m, etc.
4. Sheath and Jacket:
   • LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen): Common for indoor use due to its safety features in the event of a fire.
   • PVC or Plenum-Rated: Depending on the building code requirements.
5. Cable Construction:
   • Tight Buffered: Suitable for indoor environments and easier to handle and install.
   • Loose Tube: Provides additional protection for the fibers but is less common for indoor use.

Benefits:

1. Ease of Installation:
   • Plug and Play: No need for field splicing or terminations, reducing installation time and labor costs.
   • Minimal Tools Required: Only basic tools are needed to run the cable and secure the connectors.
2. Reliability:
   • Factory-Quality Terminations: Ensures consistent performance and reduces the chances of connectivity issues.
   • Reduced Signal Loss: High-quality terminations minimize signal loss and improve network performance.
3. Cost-Effective:
   • Lower Installation Costs: Reduces the need for skilled labor and expensive termination equipment.
   • Fewer Installation Errors: Pre-terminated cables minimize the risk of installation errors, saving time and money on troubleshooting and repairs.
4. Flexibility:
   • Variety of Configurations: Available in various connector types, lengths, and cable constructions to suit different applications and environments.
   • Scalability: Easy to add additional connections or upgrade the network without extensive re-termination work.

Applications:

1. Residential Installations:
   • Single-Family Homes: Easy to run from the service provider’s entry point to the ONT (Optical Network Terminal).
   • Multi-Dwelling Units: Simplifies installation in apartments and condominiums.
2. Commercial Buildings:
   • Office Buildings: Efficiently distribute fiber connections within office spaces.
   • Data Centers: Pre-terminated cables can streamline setup and maintenance.
3. Telecommunication Closets:
   • Centralized Locations: Connect different floors or sections of a building to a central hub.

When choosing an indoor FTTH cable with pre-connected ends, consider the specific requirements of your installation, including the type of connectors, cable length, and any building code requirements related to fire safety and cable routing.
