Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
And semi related so I don't need to figure out any of that other stuff, does anyone have a DLX MST they would be willing to sell? something with 6+ ports and a 500' tail on it?

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
Kind of related. I'm trying to figure out some MST stuff and order parts off of ebay because lead times are insane. DLX - Small newer connector we would normally order from commscope Hardened Full Size Opti-Tip = Corning version Same form factor as Hardened full size. Are the above two both APC? If so, what is SCAOPT?

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
If you've already got hardened connectors in the field then maybe this opinion is irrelevant, but look at Commscope OFDC drop closures in the future. They use standard connectors, so you can put an SOC on a tight buffered drop fiber like Corning ROC-drop or similar. And there never seems to be a shortage of non-hardened connectors.

"polish connector" "ultra polish connector" "angled polish connector" polish is a rare word because the meaning changes when you capitalize it.

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
Green always equals angled. APC Angled polished connector. Makes the reflected photons not make it back into the core. Like a directional couple for RF. APC=Angled Polished Connector or perhaps it is “Angle”. That sounds more correct. APC=Green I have heard SC is Subscriber Connection So SC-APC To me SC= big LC= Small There are also LC-APC Small green. Not sure who uses those. LC = Longhaul Connector (just things people say, no idea if it is rooted in fact. Good mnemonic though). UPC= Universal Polished Connector UPC = Blue The end of the connector is straight and flat. Like two cleaved fibers before you hit the splice button. Like what you find in a mechanical connector. Not sure why UPCs are used at all since APC seems to be technologically superior. You can have 4 versions LC-UPC LC-APC SC-UPC SC-APC Again, SC=big, LC=small UPC=blue APC=green What I normally see is blue small (LC-UPC) on everything not related to subscribers.

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
We standardized on SC/APC (SCA) for everything we can. Mostly because it is the defacto standard for GPON so it is really easy to get. The only caveat is for optics which are mostly UPC so we have SCA - SCU 4.8mm outdoor drop cables built for us for running from our fiber plant to rooftop radios where we use BiDi SCU SFPs Josh, Got a source / link for that DLX field install kit? Just starting to add DLX to the mix doing our own mini MSTs to group smaller buildings together. Would be nice to have some in stock for flexability.

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
APC is better for return loss, but from what I see no commonly used fiber systems care that much about return loss (only old analog-over-fiber systems?) I had standardized our company on SC/UPC since the connector worked everywhere - patch panels (not too tight like the tiny LC), SFPs (we use BiDi so only need one connector, can fit an SC), NIDs. Unfortunately, many 10Gbit BiDi SFPs are only available easily in LC/UPC. And some GPON ONU CPEs are SC/APC. We have adapters for those cases but it's annoying to move away from the standard.

Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ?
Not being a fiber guy, I didn’t know the difference between PC, UPC and APC, so I had to look it up: https://community.fs.com/blog/pc-vs-upc-vs-apc-connector-selecting-the-right-fiber-connector-type.html From: AF On Behalf Of Josh Luthman Sent: Thursday, December 3, 2020 9:25 AM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Can anybody make these ? They screwed us on our optitap premade as well. See if you can find a DLX field install kit for ~$10. We got field install optitap for $10 and will splice SC/APC on the other end (in which case you'd splice LC-UPC). For the record drop cables with LC is pretty weird and UPC is really really weird. Don't expect Commscope to get any better on lead times or accurate ship dates.
