We've just started using Clearfield pre-made pushable or strong fiber spools pulled through 10/6 duct up to the radio. We use BiDi so just one strand but if you wanted a feed to a tower top they could make you MPO cables that you could route to a YourX terminal up top through 14/10. I wish someon

I got some custom assemblies from Fiber Instrument Sales.  It was a "core locked" fiber, which basically means the glass is buried in an a lot of plastic.  We only got one LC duplex on each end, but I bet they could have done 2. The lead time wasn't terribly long. On 12/20/2018 3:02 PM, Smar
