The OPTIX Vertical W-NOTKSd 0.5kN fiber optic cable, featuring 8J single-mode optical fibers G675A2, is designed for Easy Access installations typically deployed vertically in stairwells of multi-dwelling and office buildings.

The Vertical W-NOTKSd 0.5kN cables are part of the Easy Access series, facilitating easy access to fibers by cutting windows in the sheath using tools like VC-TC1 or TLS-RT-A0. This design enables the extraction of optical fibers with a 0.9mm coating at distances of up to 25m. Fiber routing is achieved through special distribution cabinets for easy-access cables (16/18/5) or branching boxes with 4-8 ports. Fiber pulling into subscriber premises is done using a pilot in a 5/3.5mm tube connected with a clamping sleeve. Inside the customer's apartment, a subscriber box such as FOB-FTTX or FTTH CTB-A2 is installed, and the fiber is spliced with a fiber pigtail and inserted into an adapter. Connection to the PON terminal is established using a subscriber patch cord of the appropriate length.

These cables are available with 12 to 48 fibers and all fibers are color-coded according to the EIA/TIA598 coding standard. The fibers are coated with an easy strip jacket for simplified installation.
