Fiber Optic Cable & Connectivity

Fiber Connectivity & Passive Components

Connectors, adapters, splitters, and patch panels are the passive interface points where fiber is accessed, tested, routed, and distributed throughout the network. Low-quality connectivity hardware introduces insertion loss and reflectance at every joint - problems that are expensive to find and fix after commissioning.

Galloway stocks connectivity hardware and passive components from CommScope and AFL at regional locations. These are the products specified on major FTTX deployments, available off the shelf for fast delivery to your project.

Loose Tube - OSP Backbone, Feeder & Distribution

Fujikura Ribbon Fiber Splicing kit 6-22-26-8090 Medium

Color-coded loose buffer tubes

Protect individual fibers from mechanical and environmental stress; stranded designs carry 6 to 24 tubes, central-tube designs a single tube

More information chevron_right

Single-mode OS2 (G.652.D) standard, G.657.A1 for tighter bend routing;

OFS AllWave ZWP fiber gives zero water peak across the full wavelength spectrum

Gel-free DryBlock construction (OFS)

Reduces splice prep time by up to 80% vs. gel-filled designs

Jacket and construction options span single jacket (SJ) through double-armored (DA)

Corrugated steel tape armor for direct-burial without conduit or in rodent-prone areas; OFS Fortex DT Light Armor is gel-free and mass-fusion-ready

All-dielectric ADSS variant for aerial self-support

No messenger wire, no grounding on energized power lines; aramid strength members support spans to ~1,500 m depending on loading; OFS PowerGuide DT double-jacket eliminates all gels

Fiber counts from 12 to 864

Standard reel lengths 1 km and 2 km; multimode OM3/OM4 available for campus and data center interconnect

Ribbon - High Fiber Count Backbone & Trunk

Fujikura Ribbon Fiber Splicing kit 6-22-26-8089 Medium

 

  • For high-density backbone and trunk, hyperscale data center interconnect, and central office / carrier-hotel cabling

  • Fiber counts from 144 to 6,912+; outside diameter is critical for duct-fill calculations

  • Standard matrix, rollable, and intermittently bonded ribbon (IBR) constructions; rollable / IBR allows higher packing density in a smaller diameter

  • 12-fiber mass-fusion splicing dramatically reduces splice time vs. single-fiber splicing

  • Single jacket, double jacket, armored, or all-dielectric construction

Connectors

  • bookmark_check
    SC simplex and duplex---standard connector for OSP distribution networks
  • bookmark_check
    LC simplex and duplex---small form factor for high-density panels and enclosures
  • bookmark_check
    ST bayonet and FC threaded styles for legacy systems and specialty applications
  • bookmark_check
    AFL splice-on connectors - field-installable using fusion splicer; no epoxy or polishing
  • bookmark_check
    Pre-terminated pigtails and jumpers---factory-polished for consistent, documented insertion loss
  • bookmark_check
    Fiber counts from 12 to 864; standard reel lengths 1 km and 2 km; multimode OM3/OM4 available for campus and data center interconnect

Flat Drop - Last-Mile FTTH

  • Flat self-supporting design for last-mile drops to home or business---aerial self-support or direct-buried final span

  • 1, 2, 4, 6, and 12-fiber counts; G.657.A2 bend-tolerant fiber typical; compatible with standard wedge clamps and closure strain reliefs

  • Toneable (copper toner) variant locates buried drops after install without digging; all-dielectric version also available

  • MDPE outdoor jacket with flame-retardant option for indoor transition; pre-connectorized (OptiTap / hardened) or bulk reel; RUS (RDUS)-listed options available
