ClearCurve Rugged Drop Cable is 4.8 mm in diameter and is designed for applications where other physical cable protection, such as microduct, is neither available nor desired. It offers protection for the optical fiber as the cable has a self-bend-limiting feature that prevents the fiber from exceeding the 5 mm minimum bend radius even when bent.

Glen Lang, founder of Connexion Technologies, said: During our field trials, we saw firsthand the ease and speed of installation of the ClearCurve Drop Cable. With this technology, we were able to realize at least a 30% time savings, in addition to material savings such as ducts.
