Re: Fiber splice question

Won't work and I can't imagine how any company that is the slightest bit
reputable would do that.
It is standard practice to use a test set to measure loss to determine if
the terminated strand(s) are usable. How could they have even packed up
their stuff thinking they did something usefuul?

RE: Fiber splice question

2011-10-06 Thread Thomas Mullins
I do not work at that school on a regular basis.  The fiber was broke during a 
massive snowstorm Dec 18th, 2009.  For whatever reason, the school 
administration did not work through my boss to have this fixed.  They hired an 
outside contractor.  Last week my boss asked me have a look at the fiber run.  
That is how this landed on my desk.

If it were up to me, I would shoot wireless across the parking lot and be done 
with it.

This splice was made some time ago, months ago and maybe even a year.  The

  As others have said, (1) that won't work, and (2) never use that
company for fiber work again.

  It is possible to go from one type to the other, *if* you use
something called a "mode conditioning cable", but I don't recall if
you can go back again, and mode conditioning cables aren't used in
splices.

This piece of fiber ran no more than 300 yards from the main building to a

The original piece of fiber was multimode.  The local school had an outside

fiber has a diameter of 8 to 10 microns.  I have no idea if this is legal.
