Corning SST-Drop™ indoor/outdoor dielectric cables provide the simple installation offered by standard SST-Drop cables designed for rugged outdoor environments and compact drop cables designed for challenging indoor bend environments. The design features a gel-free, fully waterblocked, UV-resistant 2.9 mm riser-rated (OFNR) drop cable centered inside a traditional SST-Drop dielectric cable. Designed to meet industry-standard requirements for outdoor and indoor drop cables, the product eliminates the need for termination to transition from the outdoor environment to an indoor ONT. This dielectric version eliminates any bonding and grounding requirements and is suitable for aerial, direct buried and duct installation. A toneable version is also available.

The product is available in convenient contractor-sized packaging for easy field deployment and features bend-insenstive single-mode fiber, which enables installers to route the subunit around tight corners down to 5 mm (0.2 in) radius inside the home.

Features And Benefits:
• 2.9 mm subunit in a rugged outdoor cable - Eliminates need for termination transition in indoor ONT
• Crush resistance - Fiber protection and signal integrity
• UV-resistant, flame-retardant inner jacket - Rugged, durable and easy to strip
• Dielectric - Eliminates bonding and grounding requirements
• Small subunit diameter and bend-radius - Easy installation in space-constrained areas
