Overview
The MDU Drop Cable is a high-performance fiber optic assembly specifically designed for Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) connectivity. This cable utilizes high-quality Corning ClearCurve LBL fiber, optimized for tight-bend environments and challenging indoor routing where durability and low signal loss are critical.
Equipped with SC/APC connectors on both ends and a convenient mini pulling eye kit, this assembly simplifies the installation process for technicians. The white polyethylene jacket provides a clean, professional aesthetic suitable for indoor and building-entry applications, ensuring robust protection for the fiber core.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is ClearCurve LBL fiber?
It is a type of bend-insensitive singlemode fiber produced by Corning, specifically designed to reduce signal loss when the cable is routed around sharp corners or tight spaces.
Does the cable come ready to install?
Yes, it is pre-terminated with SC/APC connectors and includes a mini pulling eye kit for easier cable pathway navigation.
Can I use this for outdoor applications?
This specific assembly is intended for MDU environments; while it has a durable jacket, consult local building codes for indoor vs. outdoor riser requirements.
How is this cable packaged?
It is provided as a 200-foot hand-spooled length to ensure the cable remains manageable during installation.
What does SC/APC mean?
SC is the connector type (Subscriber Connector), and APC stands for Angled Physical Contact, which is used to reduce signal back-reflection.
