This does help, thanks. What do you do when you have to re terminate the Corning drop?
From: Chris Fabien Sent: Thursday, June 4, 2020 10:22 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Internal fiber We use one of two options Corning RuggedDrop assembly, is a 5mm 1F tight buffered cable with SC/APC on either end, outside rated in case you need to house wrap, we use this from the NID to a baseboard jack. These are $25-35 range for 50-100ft length. Fiberstore armored patch cables - 3mm with a blue PVC jacket, we use these from the baseboard jack to the modem/ONU. Depending on the ONU you may need a UPC to APC which is a custom item about a 1 month lead time. We've also bought a similar cable from total cable solutions. About $5 for the FS and only about $8.50 for the TCS. We have also bought longer ones of these to use from NID to the baseboard jack, in cases when it will not be exposed to UV, like right into the crawl space and then up into the living area. This is the baseboard jack we use: http://www.ecablemart.com/terminal_box/2-fiber-86-type-ftth-terminal-box-p-119819.html Hope the helps Chris On Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 11:25 AM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: I am planning to run the fiber clear into the 844G router at each home. 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.
