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 rather than at the base, enabling improved performance and reduced signal loss.

FiberMania’s FTTA solutions deliver reliable cable connectivity and electrical protection for Remote Radio Head (RRH) equipment deployed on cellular towers, rooftops, and various outdoor structures. Our FTTA patch cords typically feature two single-mode fibers, with one end terminated using IP-series waterproof connectors and the other end equipped with standard RRU-compatible interfaces such as LC duplex.

We offer both fully factory-assembled FTTA patch cables and connector solutions for fast on-site installation. Our product lineup includes a wide range of outdoor-rated and field-installable connectors such as IP Series, ODVA, OptiTap, H-Connector, ODC, RDC, AARC, FullAXS, RFE, IP-FX, Mini-SC, PDLC, NSN, and additional tactical connector types.

Features

• Built with premium low-loss fibers (such as Corning G.657A1) to ensure stable and reliable optical transmission.

• Offers insertion loss ≤0.3 dB and SM return loss ≥50 dB, minimizing reflection and power loss for higher system efficiency.

• Achieves IP67+ protection, providing strong resistance to rain and harsh outdoor environments.

• UV-resistant design ensures long-term outdoor performance under continuous sunlight exposure.

• Robust structure resists crushing and mechanical stress, preventing fiber damage during installation or use.

• Highly flexible with G657A1/A2 fibers, supporting tight bending and routing in confined spaces without degrading performance.

• Equipped with quick-connect interfaces (e.g., LC, SC) for rapid installation and simplified maintenance.

• Wide operating temperature range (-20°C to +70°C) and storage range (-40°C to +80°C); dustproof and corrosion-resistant for demanding outdoor conditions.

Applications

• Used for AAU-DU (5G) and RRU-BBU (4G) connections, ensuring stable base station signal transmission.

• Supports optical communication between key components, maintaining efficient system operation.

• Provides long-distance transmission between base station equipment and antennas.

• Suitable for outdoor horizontal and vertical cabling such as building façades, tower installations, and rooftop deployments.

• Links RRUs and BBUs through optical fiber to enable reliable remote signal transmission.

• Applied in power communication systems requiring stable and interference-free optical signal transport.

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.
