Re: Outside plant - prewire customer demarc preference

I can't speak for US standards, however, in Australia on the National Broadband Network the standard for lead-in 
conduit is P20 conduit (23mm inner diameter with 26.6mm to 26.8mm outer diameter). I imagine in the US it may be 
something similar.

For *only* $1,000, the builder is willing to pre-install a smurf tube from
the demarc to the central distribution point.  But such a deal for 5G....

Since most fiber installs seem to use pre-connectorized cable, without
affecting building structure integrity (i.e. 2-inch is too big according
to builder), how small is too small?  Trade size 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch,
1-inch?

Does the FTTH industry have any published standards?
