Installers know: the best solutions don’t slow you down — they make the job easier.

That’s why Precision Group reimagined Micro Drop Fiber. It’s one of the smallest drop fibers on the market today, delivering rugged performance in a low-profile design that saves space, speeds up installs, and simplifies inventory.

“Once people start on Micro Drop, they just stick with Micro Drop,” says Drew Hardin, president and CEO of Precision Group.

Why Micro Drop is Taking Over

For years, many in Tier 3 markets stuck with SST flat drop — simply because it’s what they knew. But Tier 1 national providers and many Tier 2 regional carriers have already made the switch to Micro Drop, and the reasons are hard to ignore:

  • Half the size of SST flat drop — fits more in conduit, trucks, and warehouses

  • Easier to handle — lighter weight, more flexible, better cable management

  • No hardware changes — use the same plows, hangers, and burial methods you use today

  • Bulk or pre-connectorized — available for any install preference

  • Single or two-fiber options — toneable and non-toneable versions available

The shift is happening so fast that Precision Group no longer even stocks SST flat drop — demand for Micro Drop has taken over.

Built for Real-World Installs

Precision Group’s Micro Drop is built with A2 bend-insensitive fiber for maximum durability in direct-buried/underground or aerial applications.

“If you’re pulling through conduit, it’s half the size—and because of the geometry, you can actually get more than twice the amount of those drops into the same conduit. There’s no downside to the installation process—just a smaller, easier version,” Hardin says.

Watch Drew Hardin, President & CEO of Precision Group, demo the Micro Drop and show exactly how it works in the field.

Whether you’re bulk splicing or using pre-connectorized drops, Micro Drop offers the flexibility to match your install workflow.

Now in Orange: Micro Drop for Temporary & High-Visibility Drops

Installers asked, we listened. Micro Drop is now available with an orange jacket—a familiar, high-visibility option for temporary drops and buried runs where you want crews and homeowners to spot cable quickly.

If you come from the copper world, you know the drill: new subdivision, no services yet, tech lays a temporary surface drop to get the customer online fast, then a crew returns to bury the line. Our Orange Micro Drop brings that same, immediately understood workflow to fiber—with the exact same construction and performance as standard Micro Drop. Only the color changes.

Where Orange Micro Drop helps

  • Temporary turn-ups: Lay it, light it, and come back to bury—no hardware changes, no new tools.
  • High-visibility burial: The orange jacket is easy to identify in the yard, helping reduce accidental hits when people dig.
  • Standardized playbook: Keeps your teams aligned across copper and fiber processes.

Spec note: Orange Micro Drop matches all Micro Drop specs (A2 bend-insensitive fiber, 900-micron tight buffer for easy splice prep, bulk or pre-connectorized options, OptiTap-compatible/SC/LC, toneable and non-toneable versions). The only difference is the jacket color.

“Everyone uses orange for temporary copper cabling,” said Hardin, “so why not fiber? Our teams brought that feedback straight from the field—and we made it happen.”

How to order: Orange Micro Drop will appear as a separate item on the site; in the meantime, contact your local rep or our sales team for pricing, lengths, and lead times.

Fast, Tool-Free Access

Traditional SST flat drop often requires a T-tool or a sharp knife to strip the jacket — both of which slow down the job and wear out quickly. With Micro Drop, you can:

1. Cut down the middle with Kevlar scissors

2. Peel the jacket open “like a banana”

3. Access the 900-micron fiber instantly

This reduces prep time, removes the need for specialized tools, and makes in-field repairs or terminations much faster.

Micro Drop Precision Group (Roc Drop)

Lighter Loads. Bigger Impact.

A 2,500-foot reel of Micro Drop is roughly half the weight of the same length in SST flat drop — making it easier for one person to carry, store, and maneuver on the job site.

This weight savings, combined with its reduced bulk, means:

  • Less space needed in trucks

  • Simpler warehouse stocking

  • Lower handling effort for field crews

A Better Fit for Pre-Terminated Installs

For markets using pre-terminated fiber, Micro Drop’s small size makes it much easier to roll up slack, manage breakouts, and keep enclosures neat. Two-fiber versions are available with dual 900-micron fibers, ideal for SC/APC breakout configurations on one or both ends.

Saving Time Means Saving Money

From the moment a customer signs up, the clock starts ticking on revenue recognition. Micro Drop helps narrow that gap by:

  • Cutting prep time

  • Eliminating the need for specialized tools

  • Allowing simplified inventory standardization

The result? Faster installs, lower operational costs, and happier customers.

Better Connection. Better Experience. Problem Solved.
