ROC™ OPTITAP® DROP CABLE ASSEMBLY WITH FASTACCESS® TECHNOLOGY, 900 µM

ROC™ OptiTap® Drop Cable Assembly with FastAccess® Technology, 900 µm

As an industry leader in optical connectivity products, Corning designs and manufactures the ROC™ 900 μm drop cable assembly with factory-terminated, environmentally sealed and hardened connectors. Corning OptiTap® connector design provides superior durability and reliability in the drop segment of the network.

The ROC drop cable design is now available with tight-buffered 900 μm fiber, enabling easy field installation of OptiSnap® connectors at the ONT. By featuring the ROC drop cable design, issues of slack storage capacity are virtually eliminated. The ROC drop cable minimum bend radius is half the size of legacy drop cable. The outer dimensions of the cable have been reduced by more than 50 percent.
