Multi Dwelling Unit (MDU) cables covered by ICEA S-115-730-2012 include two classes of cables using single mode fiber. The first class includes cables used for distribution and delivery of optical fiber from a demarcation point starting at a conventional optical fiber cable, optical fiber splitter or active optical device through an aesthetic duct or less rigorous routing path. This class of cable may consist of an indoor-only rated cable, the Compact Drop or Small Form Factor Compact Drop. The second class of cable is defined to be more rugged and is described as cables that usually terminate at the customer electronics, or Optical Network Terminal (ONT). The rugged cable class may be stapled, routed around corners under tension, and coiled in a tight diameter. Examples include the Rugged Indoor Drop or Indoor/Outdoor Rugged Drop. See clause 1.4 for a more detailed definition of these cable types.
