For pole-line backbone, access and rural distribution routes using ADSS, Figure-8 cable and aerial accessories. Key checks include span length, sag, wind load, ice load and pole attachment method.
For conduit, metro backbone, campus routes and direct buried sections requiring water-blocking, armor protection, crush resistance and stable pulling performance.
For feeder, distribution, splitter and final drop planning in GPON, EPON and XGS-PON projects. Typical products include drop cable, PLC splitter, FAT box and drop patch cord.
For passive distribution points between feeder cable and subscriber drops, including splitter placement, closure protection, terminal box capacity, patching and labeling.
For mixed outdoor projects combining aerial, duct, buried, utility-line and route-transition sections. Product selection focuses on installation method and mechanical protection.
For low-density broadband builds where route simplicity, long-span planning, cost per home passed and repair access are important to the overall network design.
A telecom or ISP project usually combines several cable families and ODN products. ZION helps review each route section so the final BOM matches installation practice, mechanical risk, optical performance and procurement requirements.
Select ADSS, OPGW, duct cable or direct buried cable according to pole line, conduit, soil, utility corridor and installation conditions.
Confirm feeder and distribution fiber count, branching points, closure placement and spare fibers for future expansion.
Plan splitter ratio, terminal capacity, adapter interface, patch cord type, labeling method and maintenance space.
Choose flat drop cable, round drop cable or pre-terminated drop patch cord according to building entry and field installation method.
| Application / route | Recommended solution | Typical product direction | Key selection focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pole-line access / backbone | Aerial Fiber Cable Network | ADSS cable, Figure-8 cable, aerial hardware and span-based cable review | Sag, wind, ice, tension and pole attachment condition. |
| Municipal conduit / campus backbone | Duct & Direct Burial Fiber Network | Duct loose-tube cable, armored cable, closures and route protection products | Pulling tension, moisture blocking, crush resistance and access points. |
| Subscriber access network | FTTH / PON Access Network | Feeder cable, PLC splitter, FAT box, drop cable and drop patch cord | Split ratio, optical budget, bend radius and termination quality. |
| Passive distribution layer | Optical Distribution Network / ODN | PLC splitter, closure, terminal box, patch cord, adapter and distribution accessories | Port count, labeling, connector interface and maintenance space. |
| Mixed outdoor route | Outdoor Fiber Deployment | ADSS, OPGW, duct cable, direct buried cable and transition protection products | Route segmentation, installation method and mechanical protection. |
| Low-density countryside build | Rural Broadband Fiber Network | ADSS / Figure-8 cable, FTTH drop cable, splitter and terminal box | Cost per home passed, long span, simple deployment and repair access. |
Designed for self-supporting aerial routes where electrical isolation, span performance and installation reliability are important.
Suitable for economical aerial distribution and rural access routes where an integrated messenger wire supports field installation.
Suitable for conduit, metro backbone, campus and protected underground routes requiring water-blocking and stable pulling performance.
Built for buried routes where soil pressure, crush risk, moisture exposure and rodent protection must be considered.
Used for last-mile subscriber entry, indoor/outdoor drop routing and tight bend building access in FTTH networks.
Factory-terminated drop assemblies help reduce field termination work and improve connector consistency during FTTH rollout.
Used for passive optical power distribution in FTTH/PON architecture, including centralized and distributed split designs.
Provides protected drop distribution, adapter interface management and field service access for FTTH and ODN networks.
| Decision checkpoint | Recommended action | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Route condition | Separate aerial, duct, direct burial, indoor and final drop sections before confirming cable types. | Different route sections usually require different cable structures and accessories. |
| Fiber count and expansion | Define feeder, distribution and drop fiber counts with spare capacity for future network growth. | Under-sized cable selection can increase future upgrade and rebuilding cost. |
| Mechanical environment | Review span, sag, pulling force, crush, bending, rodent risk, moisture and installation handling. | Most field problems come from mechanical mismatch before optical performance becomes the issue. |
| PON architecture | Confirm splitter stage, split ratio, optical budget, connector interface and terminal box capacity. | Incorrect split planning affects loss budget, labeling, port management and maintenance. |
| Installation method | Match cable construction to self-supporting aerial, duct pulling, direct burial, building entry or pre-terminated installation. | The installation method determines sheath, armor, strength member and packaging requirements. |
| Project documents | Prepare route map, BOM, drawings, datasheets, testing requirements, packing preference and cable marking details. | Clear project inputs help shorten quotation, sample and production confirmation time. |
| Document / input | How it helps quotation and selection |
|---|---|
| Route map and network layer drawing | Identifies aerial, duct, buried, ODN and drop sections so each product family can be selected correctly. |
| Fiber count schedule | Confirms feeder, distribution, drop and spare fiber requirements before cable model selection. |
| Installation method and route risk notes | Helps review ADSS span design, duct cable construction, armored buried cable choice and closure protection. |
| PON split plan and connector type | Defines PLC splitter ratio, FAT box capacity, terminal box interface, patch cord type and adapter requirements. |
| Packing, labeling and delivery preference | Supports drum length planning, carton labels, cable printing, OEM/ODM packing and distributor-ready shipment preparation. |
| Required datasheets or compliance documents | Helps match available technical documents with product family, target market and project submission requirements. |
