Re: Fiber installation----good place to start? Never dealt with the field installable connector ends, but I have dealt with these since we do have a splicer: »www.fiberinstrumentsales.com/lan···onnector |

Those are really nice connectors, they are very reasonably priced units--the only drawback is that it seems you have to buy 100 at a time:( |

Most of my fibre is loose tube and would be very flimsy not to splice into a tray.

I do loose tube with it as well, but only in the rare circumstance, and it is usually accompanied with some type of wrap to as close to the connector as I can get. Generally if I am doing 6 or more terminations at a location, I use a whip with a breakout in whatever quantity and connector I need. Less than that I burn on individual pigtails. |

| said by LLigetfa:The textbook way to do it is to use a fan-out but trying to thread all the fibers into it is a PITA.
I've dealt with a fan out once or twice, and that is the conclusion I walked away with as well. I'd much rather use a tray and break it out, or burn on ends where feasible. |

| We always use fan out kits in all of our enclosures, and our largest jobs are only 24 count in most cases. The trick is icky clean (or similar) and then baby powder. The strands will slide right through every time! |
