RealFlex™ MDU Drop Cables
ADC's new RealFlex™ MDU Drop Cables are an ideal solution for the unique challenges
encountered when deploying FTTX networks in today's Multiple Dwelling Unit or MDU buildings.
RealFlex™ MDU Drop Cables are offered in Indoor/Outdoor, Riser and Plenum cable types making
them suitable for all types of MDU structures.
RealFlex™ MDU Drop Cables allow for a bend radius as small as 7.5 mm without changing
attenuation characteristics of the cable and improve insertion loss (IL) performance for 90 degree
bend locations. With the average MDU installation including as many as seven 90 degree turns,
this new fiber greatly reduces the risk to bend induced IL during installation. In addition to the
improved bend radius performance, the rugged 3mm cable construction provides the flexibility
and durability to withstand the most demanding applications.
The rugged 3 mm indoor/outdoor cable can be stapled*, allowing for fast and easy securing of
cables to most surfaces. The reduced bend radius glass allows the technician to staple around
tight corners without compromising insertion loss performance.
ADC's RealFlex™ MDU Drop Cables provide for quick and easy deployments with increased
reliability which allow for fast service turn-up, improved network reach and lower overall network
operating and maintenance costs.
*ADC approved staplers and staples.

Typical Applications:

• Garden or horizontal; indoor/outdoor cable used to transition from an outdoor fiber distribution
terminal to each indoor living unit
• Mid or high-rise; all three cable types can be used to transfer from an indoor fiber distribution
terminal to each individual living unit within a building
• Indoor/outdoor and riser cables are suitable for all OFNR applications; OFNP applications will
require plenum cable
