Hi All,

If you can help, please let me know off-list.  I’ll be on the first plane down

It's also worth checking if CMS have stock - they have a trade counter 
in Limehouse, which is doable on foot/DLR.

You may also not need proper attenuators, depending on the recommended
receive power levels.  It's worth looking up the spec sheets for
information on what will work and what won't.

If you are completely stuck but have a light meter, there's always the
wrap-the-patch-lead-around-a-pencil trick.  If it's taped in place and
measured carefully for attenuation, it can be useful as a
rough-and-ready mechanism to get you out of a hole while waiting for
delivery of proper attenuators.

[Charlie Boisseau]

Hi All,

If anyone has any 5db or 10db attenuators sitting in a spares box somewhere in 
London, I could do with a handful.  We’re having to rush a new mux into our 
THN-HEX span tomorrow to connect up our new DDoS scrubbing kit to the rest of 
our network.  Some bugger keeps DoS’ing us and it’s getting quite tiresome!

If you can help, please let me know off-list.  I’ll be on the first plane down 
in the morning.  Happy to help myself if given the appropriate access.

Thanks in advance
