Please log in for more thread options share the Pro's and Con's? I like my AMP modular plug crimper. That is why I am looking at AMP. But any other suggestions are welcome. I have been using the Leviton ThreadLock system. My problem is I only have about 1 fiber job a year. And even then it is usually only 12 to 24 terminations. I have a slow start with my polishing technique which smoothes out by the end of the job. Then the next fiber job comes along and I'm back to square one. :-)) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options several years. It is another of the no polish systems. This one uses a pre-polished stub in the ferrule with an index matching gel to mate the raw fiber. The termination tool kits can often be rented from the distributor which saves on buying a kit for only a few terminations a year. I have seen people put on connectors on a breakout fiber in as little as 30 seconds, but the average is usually less than a minute after the first one or two. The connectors can be pricey compared to other systems, but the reduction in labor can go a long ways toward evening the cost. You should be able to do one end of a 24 strand fiber in about 45 minutes including setup time and have all the fibers test out to less than a half dB insertion loss.

Please log in for more thread options first time since I went 'on my own'. Many years ago I did some fusion splicing, and have done epoxy/polish. I now have a chance to do a little fibre work again, but will be supplying all my own kit. Can't guarantee the level of fibre work I will get, and this first job will only be one run (probably 6 core multimode). Have seriously thought of doing the donkey work of running the fibre, and then subbing the termination. I have done lightcrimp in the classroom, but never in the field. What's the perceived wisdom of the group? TIA, Phil Partridge philp@pebbleGRIT.demon.co.uk Remove the grit to reply | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options I'm looking for reasonably cost suggestions for labeling wall plates
with circuit id information. I'm thinking clear or colored tape with black lettering. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Depending on the number of labels you will be installing, something as
inexpensive as a DYMO label maker can work. Most installers use one of the Brother P-Touch units for smaller jobs and move up to the Brady, Panduit or other special purpose labelers for the larger jobs. In any event, one thought about your labeling: 16) Each WAO plate is identified on the face with a machine generated label identifying the serving TC. Each plate is identified on the reverse side with the same information handwritten in permanent marker. 2A-23 identifies the WAO plate where cables A23V, A23D and A23S are terminated at the work area. .
