Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Carl Peterson]

I mostly buy everything from FS now because its easy, but you can get
better pricing from Cozlink.  ~.65 ea.  Less in big bulk quantities.  At
some point there is a diminishing return on chasing better pricing and it
doesn't make sense in less your talking about buying thousands.

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Adam Moffett]

This one is just splice trays:
https://precisionfiberproducts.com/multilink-slide-out-style-splice-shelf-frm-4ru-ss/
Lots of vendors make boxes like that.

This one is splices in the back, adapter panels in the front:
https://www.fs.com/c/fhd-fiber-enclosures-2997?rack-mount=20055
https://www.fs.com/c/fhd-adapter-panels-1068?lc=20200

I'm not sure what you mean about "at the top to split out".  Do you need 
an outdoor splice enclosure?

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Josh Reynolds]

You already asked about this.

You just buy the bare pigtails and splice them on. Waste of money buying
complete patch cables.

Im no fiber guy at all, we are doing the first fttr and theres alot of
little acronyms. Ftw. We are getting some spliced cables premade, theyre
just cutting fs.com patch cables, is that going to poke me in the eye?

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Carl Peterson]

Most (all?) FS SC SFPs are custom so they take longer and ship out of China not 
Washington.  

Re pigtails -  That worries me.  I've got some OSP going in in FL using their 
pigtails... let us know how it turns out.

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Jason McKemie]

I've had good luck with fiberstore's patch cables.  However, I recently
order a pigtail from them that, for some inexplicable reason, does not
allow light to pass when spliced onto my OSP cable.  I'm suspecting a fiber
type mismatch, but so far they have not come back with anything confirming
that.

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

[Adam Moffett]

Yeah.

You can always try Baltic, Amazon, or Monoprice.  But it seems like 
nobody beats fs.com on price, and they seem to stock every possible 
thing.
