Nate, email m...@savvitechnologies.com - P/N for one in the pic would
be LW-PFA-SC/APC-SC/UPC-R4.8-50FT-B3-B - Change the connector types /
lengths to what you want and ask for a quote.  Cable is 4.8mm.

Josh - On buildings for the most part.

Re: [AFMUG] 10Gig BiDi with SC connectors

2022-04-22 Thread Nate Burke 

Where do you get the patch cables from?

I've been having Bestronics make my cables with 'uniboot'  LC 
Connectors  The outdoor jacket goes right into the LC plug.  Looks very 
similar to your SC connector.

SC 1 gig BiDi optics are pretty common.  Not even a special

The optics are LC - bidi or not - so we're stuck with LC. 
LC jumpers are easy to find.  Using SC seems like trading

one hassle for another, but I'm sure climbers appreciate

What a PITA.   Any work around?  I miss my AFMUG fix.
We've been using SC BiDi SFPS for years to run fiber to
radios. With 4.8MM rugged fiber cables it makes it
really simple.I've honestly wondered why anyone
using BiDi would want to use LC for BiDi.  Doesn't make
a lot of sense to me.

Re: [AFMUG] 10Gig BiDi with SC connectors

2022-04-22 Thread Carl Peterson 
Not sure what it has to do with green vs blue.  Plant is green
because that's what everything is.  Optic end of the cable is blue because
that's what all SFP optics I know of are.

My guy got back to me and can make me cables with LC on one end so that's
what I'm gonna do.

Re: [AFMUG] 10Gig BiDi with SC connectors

2022-04-22 Thread Colin Stanners 
If like us, because 1) LC is a bit too small for individual manipulation by
our grubby hands in denser panels  and 2) We could build an entire network
out of nothing but singlemode SC/UPC connections in gigabit times (just
putting small SC/UPC adapters to APC on the GPON CPEs), without needing a
wide variety of adapters etc for the different use cases. Unfortunately in
10Gbit+ with the lack of SC on SFPs, the latter advantage is disappearing.

Why do you prefer SC over LC?

SC 1 gig BiDi optics are pretty common.  Not even a special order.  
Works so much better with Siklu gear.  I'll twist arms at FS and see
