ICEA S-115-730-2018涵盖的电缆包括两类使用单模光纤的电缆。这些电缆用于单户或多户单元（MDU）或其他FTTX应用，在这些应用中，光纤被输送到终端客户设备。第一类是坚固的下降电缆，可以用钉书机装订，在张力下绕着角落布线，并以紧密的直径卷绕。例如，崎岖不平的室内落差或室内/室外崎岖落差。第二种不太坚固的紧凑型落差电缆可能由室内或室内/室外额定电缆组成。 这些电缆通过美观的管道或类似的不太严格的布线路径布线，无需订书钉或张力下的弯曲。例如紧凑型跌落或小尺寸紧凑型跌落。

Cables covered by ICEA S-115-730-2018 include two classes of cables using singlemode fiber. The cables are for use in single or multi-dwelling units (MDU) or other FTTX applications where fiber is delivered to the end customer equipment. The first class, the rugged drop cable class, may be stapled, routed around corners under tension, and coiled in a tight diameter. Examples include the Rugged Indoor Drop or Indoor/Outdoor Rugged Drop. The second, less robust compact class of drop cable may consist of an indooronly or indoor/outdoor rated cable. These cables are routed through an aesthetic duct or a similar less rigorous routing path without staples or bends under tension. Examples include Compact Drop or Small Form Factor Compact Drop.
