Evolv® ROC™ Drop Toneable Assembly

As an industry leader in optical connectivity products, Corning designs and manufactures the ROC™ drop cable assembly with factory-terminated, environmentally sealed and hardened connectors to reduce the cost and time of drop cable deployment.  Corning hardened connectors provide superior durability and reliability in the drop segment of the network. This assembly also offers significant improvements in cable management.

Pushlok™ connector technology is the next evolution of OptiTap® connector. The new connector design is the key component enabling smaller terminals for FTTX networks than ever before.

By featuring the ROC drop cable design, issues of slack storage capacity are virtually eliminated. The ROC drop cable minimum bend radius is half the size of legacy drop cable. The outer dimensions of the cable have been reduced by more than 50 percent. ROC drop cables are more flexible, allowing for easier routing at the ONT. Installers will see a reduction in truck storage space requirements with this new design.
