Corning Drop Cable 1F ROC Cable - Multiple Connectors/Lengths/Packaging

Corning Drop Cable 1F ROC Cable – Multiple Connectors / Lengths / Packaging (Including Pushlok-Bare)

The Corning Drop Cable 1F ROC Cable – Multiple Connectors / Lengths / Packaging (Including Pushlok-Bare) is a high-performance, pre-connectorised fibre solution designed to accelerate FTTH deployments while reducing installation time and cost.

Engineered with OptiTap® hardened connector technology, this drop cable assembly delivers factory-terminated, environmentally sealed connections for reliable performance in external network environments. Its plug-and-play design eliminates the need for on-site splicing, enabling faster and more consistent installations.

In addition to standard connector options, this range also includes Pushlok-Bare connector configurations, providing installers with greater flexibility for rapid field termination where required. This makes the cable suitable for a wider range of network architectures, including hybrid deployment scenarios.

With a reduced cable cross-section and enhanced flexibility, the ROC cable allows for tight bend routing and improved slack management within ONTs, pedestals and handholes. Its robust construction supports high pulling tension, making it ideal for duct, aerial and direct-buried installations.
