ABSTRACT:
A fiber optic drop ribbon is described that can be attached to structures, such as the walls of multi-dwelling units (MDUs), for connecting subscribers to a fiber optic communications network. A number of coated optical fibers are supported by a backing strip of the article having a first and second surface. The first surface is attached to the structure, and the optical fibers are attached to the second surface. A cover strip attaches to the second surface of the backing strip to cover the optical fibers. The cover strip may be removable to provide access to the optical fibers and may reattach to the backing strip following removal. Associated systems and methods are also provided that may include additional components, such as furcation sections, furcation splints, and fiber trays, to facilitate the installation of the article and the connection of subscribers to the fiber optic network.
