Overview
The MDU Drop Cable is a high-performance, singlemode fiber optic assembly designed specifically for Multi-Dwelling Unit (MDU) environments. Utilizing Corning® ClearCurve® LBL (Low Bend Loss) fiber, this cable provides exceptional performance in tight-buffered applications where bending or routing in confined spaces is required.
This assembly comes pre-terminated with SC/APC connectors on both ends and includes a mini pulling eye kit for simplified installation through conduit or narrow pathways. The rugged white polyethylene jacket ensures durability for indoor/outdoor MDU deployments, providing a reliable and efficient connection from the demarcation point to the subscriber terminal.
