Clear Track Fiber Pathway simplifies your MDU Installation | Corning

Now available for residences and MDU hallways.

We’re enabling service providers to offer high-speed broadband to a larger audience, while making the cable virtually disappear. And we’re making it so easy to install, one person can do the entire job. With Corning® Clear Track Fiber Pathways, virtually invisible Gigabit broadband is now available for both inside residences and multidwelling unit (MDU) hallway applications.

The secret to Clear Track is its micro-replicated features, which allow diffuse reflection. When light hits the surface, it is scattered in many angles, making the clear cable pathway almost disappear.

Proprietary adhesive backing enables fast and easy installation on practically any surface. There is no need for glues, staples, plastic raceways, or extra ductwork. Just peel back the protective liner and press. Once it sticks, it stays.

The clear choice

Corning® Clear Track ILU Fiber Pathway is a virtually invisible solution specifically designed for inside the living unit.

Simple to deploy

Our 900 µm Clear Fiber – ultra bend-insensitive fiber – can be quickly inserted using the handy installation tool. The fiber can then be terminated with a field-mounted mechanical connector or splice.

Smarter shuttered patch cords and wall plates

The shuttered SC patch cord and low-profile wall plate enable installation of fiber from the wall outlet to the ONT. The red indicator ensures full insertion into the fiber connector and the “shutter” design helps prevent accidental contamination of the ferrule.

The Corning® Clear Track Hallway Fiber Pathway is the virtually invisible way to deliver ultra-high-speed Gigabit broadband to multidwelling units (MDUs). It adapts micro-replication technology for the multifiber needs of MDU hallways to enable fast and easy installation with minimal disruption.

How it works

This unique hallway fiber pathway features the Corning® Clear Track 12-fiber micro-module— 12 ultra-bend-insensitive, 250 µm fibers inside a 1.8 mm jacket. The micro-module is available in various preterminated lengths to fit different sizes of MDUs. Proprietary adhesive backing on the pathway enables fast and easy installation on practically any surface. There is no need for glues, staples, crown molding, or cutting drywall.

A simple, handy tool helps speed the process. So one person can install hallway fiber in hours, not days. The optional Clear Track Hallway Clear Cover provides additional durability with virtual invisibility.

Fiber rerouting made easy

The Clear Track Hallway Small Point-of-Entry Box with self-adhesive Command™ strips makes attachment and repositioning easy. The 12-fiber micro-module can then be terminated with a field-mounted mechanical connector or splice for connection to the living unit.

Unobtrusive design and hassle-free installation

The micro-replication technology and proprietary clear adhesive of the Clear Track Fiber Pathways make them virtually invisible. There’s no need for inside and outside corner pieces or other visual disruptors. So, residents hardly know it’s there. And, because installation is so fast, workers can be finished in no time, with minimal intrusion.

Clearly faster. Clearly easier. Clearly better.

A Clearly New Solution

A Clearly New Solution

Several solutions meet the requirement of expanding residential fiber networks, but they’re falling short on aesthetics or fast installation processes. Customers aren’t always satisfied with how an installation looks, and clean, streamlined craftsmanship is highly variable among installers. Often times, customers are not satisfied with how long the installation job takes. As a result, broadband service providers struggle with consistency in installation quality and customer satisfaction.

A comprehensive approach to address multiple concerns with residential fiber cable routing.

The result is the new Clear Fiber Drop Cable, an indoor/outdoor drop cable that routes the 900 μm Clear Fiber, a clear-buffered ultrabend-insensitive fiber, indoors where it slides and locks into the Clear Track Fiber Pathway, a clear-routing pathway. The Clear Track solution provides aesthetic, reliable, and fast installations in challenging SFU and MDU applications.
