AFL TRIDENT factory-terminated drop cables are the nal piece of the AFL TITAN RTD

FTTx

System. The quarter-turn latching and sealing mechanism of the AFL TRIDENT connector provides

quick and easy “plug and play” connections to AFL TITAN RTD multiport terminals, enabling

lighting fast service subscriber connections with outstanding long term reliability. The connector/

adapter interface is keyed to ensure proper alignment of the 2.5 mm APC ferrule. Once the

connector is keyed and inserted, locking and sealing is provided with a “BNC-like” quarter-turn

of the connector coupling. Drops are available with one or both ends terminated (either both

ends AFL TRIDENT or hybrid—one end AFL TRIDENT and one end standard SC). Drop cables are

available in one, two, or four bers (at drop only).
