A procedure for providing fiber optic service to users residing in living units inside a multidwelling unit (MDU) building having an outside wall or façade, comprising:

• fixing a number of connection enclosures on the building façade at determined locations along a given path on the façade, wherein the path extends in the region of a set of living units to be serviced via associated service drop lines;
• routing a fiber optic distribution or feeder cable through the enclosures fixed on the façade along the given path, wherein the cable contains fibers assigned to service the set of living units;
• inside a given connection enclosure, splicing or connecting fibers of a given drop line to a set of fibers in the feeder cable that have been assigned to service a living unit with which the drop line is associated;
• fastening a cable support member at determined locations between successive ones of the connection enclosures fixed on the façade, and inserting the feeder cable in each cable support member;
• routing the service drop lines from the connection enclosures fixed on the building façade to the living units with which the drop lines are associated, including supporting the drop lines by inserting the lines in the cable support members in which the feeder cable is inserted;
• and
• passing the service drop lines through the façade for routing to the living units.
