Overview
This MDU (Multi-Dwelling Unit) drop cable is a ruggedized, high-performance solution designed for building-to-building or building-to-home fiber extensions. It is engineered with premium Corning ClearCurve LBL (Laser-Beam-Loss) singlemode fiber, which provides exceptional bend-insensitivity for installations in tight spaces or challenging architectural environments.
The cable features a robust black polyethylene jacket, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor deployments. It comes pre-terminated with SC/APC connectors for reliable, low-reflectance connections and includes a mini pulling eye kit to facilitate smooth installation through conduits and tight passages. This assembly is hand-spooled, ensuring high-quality handling and protection during transit.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Mini Pulling Eye Kit include?
The kit includes a durable attachment designed to protect the connectors and allow the cable to be pulled through conduits safely.
Is this cable suitable for direct burial?
While the polyethylene jacket is robust, please check your local codes; it is primarily designed for MDU drops and conduit pulls.
Why is ClearCurve fiber used?
ClearCurve LBL fiber is specifically designed to minimize signal loss in applications where fiber must be bent around tight corners or architectural features.
Are the SC/APC connectors compatible with standard SC/UPC adapters?
No, SC/APC (Angled Physical Contact) connectors are not compatible with SC/UPC (Ultra Physical Contact) adapters due to the angle of the ferrule.
What is the benefit of the hand-spooled configuration?
Hand-spooling ensures the cable is not subject to high-speed machine tensioning, reducing the risk of microscopic stress on the fiber.
