Hi folks,
In $dayjob I've got the guts of one of my older recently decommissioned UK
sites for disposal - it's primarily server hardware, average age something
around 7-8 years, mostly SMC "FatTwins" that were high spec when new, plus
other things of similar vintage.

Hi folks,
Can anyone recommend a UK (or EU-based) Leviton fibre supplier that is
likely to hold some stock?
I'm specifically looking for 3x Leviton 2000I HDX, P/N 5R1UH-S08, and
probably on 24-48 hour turnround.
Thanks,
Mike
Hi all,
I need to get some MTP8 cables - 10M & 12M lengths, Method B, in a fair hurry.
Normally all my stock is shipped ex-US so I don't know much in the way of local
suppliers.
Can someone suggest who can help out with this?
Cheers,
Mike

Hi lovely UKNOF folks...
The heavy-handed remote hands people in a colo that shall remain nameless
managed to snap off an ejection handle from a 100G CFP2 optic module, so
the optic now can't be removed from the device in a normal way of rotating
the ejection handle then pulling on the optic body.

I'm currently looking for an ex-stock supply of 100G-SR10 CFP2 (that will

The Ciena gear isn't under my control, it's carrier equipment.

Hi folks,
$client is having issues with Geoloc for their customers when they try to
access ITV player.
They feel like they've hit a bit of an impasse with ITV's own helpdesk
(seems to be outsourced to Accenture). Need to try and get further up the
tree.
Anyone got any contacts that can help?

Haven't used the Delta3 racks myself, but have sworn by the Cooper B-Line

available in a mind-boggling range of configurations, and don't have
annoying corner posts.
