What are drop cables?

Drop cables are the final segment of a telecommunications network that connect the main distribution line to individual homes or businesses. Typically used in fiber-optic and coaxial networks, these cables are designed for short-distance transmission and are often more flexible and easier to install than mainline cables. They ensure that end-users have access to high-speed internet, television, and telephone services. Drop cables can vary in composition and design, depending on the specific requirements of the installation and the environment.
