Is there enough room in them for joining fiber? I was going to do a larger box with an SC/APC coupler inside, but I have not solved the box sealing problem.

I agree, those little grey boxes of yours make great little cross connect NID/housings. We use them all over for Ethernet RJ45 M/F junction housings. Including housing the simple BIDI LC couplers for outside plant to inside jumper cross connects. I need to order more of those empty housings if you have them. I’ll send you an email.

The 844G router is the ONT. Trying to attach as little to the outside of the house as possible.

In my limited use cases I’ve used armored jump cables from the outside mini-nid join box to the inside. Then loop it a couple of times, maybe behind the ONT even, secured to the wall or whatever, then just a bit is exposed to the plug. Or just went ahead and used a NID inside with the usual strain guards and even boots or mini conduit etc. New CenturyLink builds I’ve noticed have a flexible mini duct/conduit, then loop the jump cable coming out of that behind the ONT and connect it on the bottom so not much is exposed.

But in the past when we have done this, we have had issues with people not understanding that the fiber is a bit more delicate than cat5. Then there is the issue with the termination. You can get long jumpers and splice outside in a small enclosure. But replacing the end on the router is a bit more difficult. I have used unicams in the past, but with my new system I am looking for something better. I really need something a bit tougher than jumpers to route through the house. Anything like that exist? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
