I have not seen a Century Link installation, but you can get a drop
cable with basically a 3mm jacketed inner cable inside of it. Then you
use 3mm SOC's. The FIS ones are called "Armordillo" and you get a brass
tube that crimps over the connector and the 3mm jacket. Then a rubber
boot slides over the brass tube. You can do that with no splice boxes
inside or outside the house, but the inner cable is no stronger than any
other 3mm jacketed cable.

I like the look of the RealFlex.
What I can’t figure out, maybe also part of this conversation as
intended, is if you don’t use a jumper, how are CenturyLink et. al.
doing that nice outside plant drop to inside patch/end splice/connection?
My guys don’t seem to know how that’s done.
I’m guessing it’s an inline splice with some sort of special heat
shrink tubing/package that protects the join and provides strain/pull
prevention internally?
I just don’t get it.

Supposedly the realflex drop cables can be treated like cat5. We're a
little more gentle then that with the 3mm ones. You can order in just
about any config. i.e plenum, one end terminated, both ends
terminated, pull sock on one end, etc.

Cheap would be the bow type flat drop - we use them with FRP steel
ones are too stiff.
Next option would be either 3m of 4.8mm RBR drop cables like

I am planning to run the fiber clear into the 844G router at
each home.
But in the past when we have done this, we have had issues
with people not understanding that the fiber is a bit more
delicate than cat5. Then there is the issue with the
termination. You can get long jumpers and splice outside in a
small enclosure. But replacing the end on the router is a bit
more difficult. I have used unicams in the past, but with my
new system I am looking for something better.
I really need something a bit tougher than jumpers to route
through the house. Anything like that exist?
