The V-Linx Spool & Play Solution can simplify MDU deployments and help decrease their overall cost by signiﬁcantly speeding up installation and requiring less labor to install the cabling backbone. A simple set of spool-and-play hardware allows a small service team of one or two people to install the entry distribution cabinet, route a few factory-built riser assemblies, and plug drop boxes to the riser quickly and efﬁciently into the MDU. The system is designed to minimize multiple long-run riser installations and eliminate splice time. These hubs are designed to enable small crews to deploy entire systems in hours versus traditional large crews taking days.
