This paper describes a new drop cable, a new cluster-type drop cable for residential premises, a new indoor cable, a new termination cable, a new raiser cable, and a field-installable single-fiber connector for fiber distribution in residential and business premises. Their structural designs re- sulted from an investigation of optimum structures for reducing the costs of cables and installation. The performance of fabricated cables and connector was evaluated and their transmission and me- chanical characteristics were found to be stable.
