We try not to. If we have to, generally AFL Fast connectors for 3mm or sumitomo LYNX2-SCAPCSM-3.0 with a little sumitomo splicer.
Not to get too far into the weeds, but we generally install stub ends - terminated end goes to our enclosure and then we splice the customer end in a wall plate. Fibermint makes us wall plates with a shutter coupler and a pigtail pre-installed for a buck or two. Can be surface mounted or mounted to a low voltage frame. Then we use a patch cable, like the fs armored ones, to go to the 844G. If you are wall mounting the 844G you can terminate in the wall plate but I prefer the separate fiber jack. https://www.aflglobal.com/Products/Fiber-Optic-Connectivity/Field-Installable-Connectors/FAST-Connectors_(1).aspx On Thu, Jun 4, 2020 at 11:48 AM <ch...@wbmfg.com> wrote: > This does help, thanks.
