MDU installation planning considerations include:
• number of units served
• cable and conduit accessibility
• ownership of cable
• customer take-up rate
Other planning considerations:
• Running cable in older buildings can be more complicated.
• Running fiber to each unit in an MDU can be a better option when the existing
cable is not owned by the service provider.
• When there is no access to the existing cable in an MDU, you can use existing
coaxial or Cat5e, or better wiring.

Fiber cabling
Note 1 — Ensure that Cat5e or higher wiring is used.
Note 2 — Alcatel-Lucent recommends that in the fiber distribution
network, APC-based or spliced connections, are used to avoid
potential problems. In particular, splitters should be configured so that
unused ports are terminated on APC-based connectors.
