Overview
The MDU Drop Cable is a high-performance singlemode patch cord designed specifically for Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) fiber deployments. Featuring Corning® ClearCurve® LBL fiber, this cable provides exceptional bend performance to support tight-space routing within building environments.
Equipped with SC/APC connectors on both ends and an integrated mini pulling eye kit, this cable is engineered for efficient installation through conduit and building risers. The durable black polyethylene jacket ensures protection against environmental factors, making it an ideal choice for both interior and exterior drop applications.
Key Features
-
Corning® ClearCurve® LBL Fiber
Utilizes advanced bend-insensitive fiber technology to maintain signal integrity in compact installations. -
SC/APC Connectivity
Factory-terminated angled physical contact (APC) connectors minimize back-reflection for high-data-rate applications. -
Mini Pulling Eye Kit
Pre-installed pulling eye simplifies cable management and protects connectors during installation through conduit. -
Rugged Polyethylene Jacket
Features a robust black exterior sheath designed to resist abrasion and moisture in MDU environments. -
175-Foot Length
Provides sufficient reach for standard MDU drop requirements, conveniently supplied on a hand-spooled configuration. -
Ready-to-Deploy Assembly
Factory-tested assembly reduces on-site splicing time and ensures consistent insertion loss performance.
Applications
- Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) fiber distribution
- Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) drop segments
- Indoor/Outdoor fiber routing
- Tight-bend radius cable management

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this cable suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the polyethylene jacket provides the durability required for outdoor environments.
What is the purpose of the pulling eye?
The mini pulling eye protects the connectors and provides a secure attachment point for pulling the cable through conduits or wall cavities.
Does this cable use bend-insensitive fiber?
Yes, it features Corning® ClearCurve® LBL fiber for enhanced performance in high-density or tight-space applications.
What does SC/APC mean?
It signifies an SC-style connector with an Angled Physical Contact polish, which is used to reduce return loss in fiber networks.
Can I install this myself?
The assembly is designed for easy installation, but fiber optic infrastructure projects should be performed by qualified technicians.
