ROC Drop Cable
Product Overview
ROC™ Drop Cable Assemblies use Corning ROC™ cable with FastAccess™ Technology for fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) deployments. The gel-free construction and FastAccess™ jacket allow quicker cable preparation compared to traditional flat drop designs. These assemblies support aerial, buried, and conduit installations and are selected when easy handling, compact routing, or gel-free preparation provides an installation advantage. The lightweight round profile is preferred in conduit, buried, and façade routes where flat drop is less efficient. Toneable and dielectric versions are available, and assemblies come with OptiTap®, SC, LC (UPC/APC), or Pushlok® connectors. They may be supplied stubbed for splicing or pre-terminated on one or both ends for direct connection
