Re: facilities wiring question

Thanks, Ok, then I will run the 50' or so from the 3rd floor to the 2nd with CAT6A and have a switch up there with a Gbit port on it. That sounds like a plan. - Original Message - From: "Ben Scott" To: "NT System Admin Issues" Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 9:11 AM Subject: Re

RE: facilities wiring question

Corning-Siecor has a system, Unicam for ST, SC, LC, MTRJ and FC connectors that doesn't require polishing which is the toughest part of installing fiber ends. We've used it here for ST ends and it works great. For a one time deal, I wouldn't think purchasing the tools would be cost effective but if

RE: facilities wiring question

If your closets are vertically one over the other, you might be able to use pre-terminated fiber cables run through conduits ( I've seen many installations where they have a 4 or 5 inch diameter 'conduit' from the ceiling of one closet into the floor of another, code just required packing to mini
