Running cable in older buildings can be more complicated.

Running fiber to each unit in an MDU can be a better option when the existing

cable is not owned by the service provider.

When there is no access to the existing cable in an MDU, you can use existing

coaxial or Cat5e, or better wiring.

Ensure that Cat5e or higher wiring is used.

Alcatel-Lucent recommends that in the fiber distribution

network, APC-based or spliced connections, are used to avoid

potential problems. In particular, splitters should be configured so that

unused ports are terminated on APC-based connectors.
