ClearCurve® Compact Drop Cable
An Evolant® MDU Solutions Product
Description
Corning Cable Systems ClearCurve ® Compact Drop Cables
are part of a product family developed to solve the challenges
associated with multidwelling unit (MDU) deployments.
Enabled by a truly bend-insensitive fiber, this small-profile, yet
durable, cable is optimized for applications within the living
unit. Smaller and more flexible than CAT 5e cable, ClearCurve
Compact Drop Cable can accomplish tight turns to a minimum
bend-radius of 5 mm (0.2 in) with negligible bend loss and
can be run under carpet, along door frames and molding, in
raceway or microduct.
The cable consists of a single bend-insensitive fiber tightbuffered with a 900 µm jacket, surrounded by dielectric strength
members and an outer flame-retardant jacket. With a standard
yellow or optional neutral-toned jacket, this cable is riser rated
(OFNR) for indoor vertical riser and general-purpose horizontal applications.
