Abstract: Systems, assemblies and methods for deploying an optical fiber through a duct to a customer premises. A blowable section of the optical fiber is blown through the duct. A non-blowable section of the optical fiber is coupled to a trail end of the duct. The non-blowable section can be terminated with a hardened or ruggedized connector. The optical fiber, including both the blowable and non-blowable sections, can be wound around a spool for easy payout of the blowable section.
