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:
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
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.
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.

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 shorten 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.
