Cable in conduit (CIC) offers reduced labor and time during installation through a one-step approach. In addition, by preinstalling the cable, the chance of cable damage is virtually eliminated. These advantages have been realized for years in outdoor drop deployments.

Clearfield’s FieldShield D-ROP takes the best of CIC cable assemblies and pairs it with a pre-connectorized CIC cable assembly to bring those same cost and labor savings to MDU/MTU installations.

Once FieldShield D-ROP assemblies are placed in a living unit, the outer microduct is cut to length and easily slid off the fiber assembly, leaving the FieldShield pushable connector ready to accept its final housing. This housing installs in seconds to complete and plug into the individual living unit. Offering a one-pass solution that is not only craft-friendly and restorable, FieldShield pushable connectors are factory-polished and factory-tested, ensuring every connection is consistent and eliminating operator error during installation.
