Depends on how you are pulling. We've used a lot of OFS 4.8MM drop fiber. Pulled from the kevlar strands, like it says on the box, it is great. Pulled from the jacket, like my techs did in one building, it is crap. We have now mostly moved to Commscope RBR 3mm pre terminated on one end. We pull the unterminated end from the kevlar strands and it pulls well. Fibermint makes us fiber wall plates all set up to splice in at the unit end.
