The Parallel Telephone Drop Wire (1.0mm) is designed for extending telephone circuits from distribution points to individual subscriber premises. Typically used for aerial drops, this cable is ideal for outdoor installations where durability, UV resistance, and consistent transmission performance are required.
Its oval or dumbbell-shaped profile facilitates easy separation of the conductors and simplifies installation. The cable is suitable for telecom, voice communication, and analog signal transmission in both rural and urban environments.
