Re: Fiber installation----good place to start? said by Chele:The job has enough margin to allow us to buy the tools and still make bit of profit. I have been looking at TKT-UNICAM-PFC Corning Unicam Termination Kit. Does anyone have any recommendations on particular kits? I do a lot of SM fiber both in-building and out and personally I would go for a fusion splicer and use pre terminated pigtails.
The reason being with a splicer I can not only quickly terminate bulk fibers and can splice them as well without involving connectors and the need to support them.
As an example, lets say you have a need to run a fiber from the main floor of a building to the 23 floor, that leaves you passing 21 floors of possible customers and the drops they may need, now it makes no sense to drop in additional LGX’s on each floor at this time, but there is nothing in the cost of leaving a loop-up in the electrical/telco room of each floor as you install high count riser fiber, remember the cost of the fiber, the ty-wraps and fire-stop are minor compared to the labor of the install.
With a splicer you can go back after the fact and drop those spare pairs where youi need them. |

Fusing splicing is not hard and is my preferred method too. Every fibre I have is fusion spliced. Wouldn't have it any other way.

f**k thats a smart idea. I have a bunch of telco fibre sitting in a paddock and im a little nervous and dont know where to start with regards to terminating it etc.
But thats a really smart idea that hadnt occured to me - preterminated pigtales and then fusioning them to the end of a cable. |
