Thanks all for confirming my fears. I will propose to customer to re-pull with outdoor rated and back charge EC for not using waterproof EMT fittings or rigid.

I have a situation using plenum systimax cat 6 used for furniture feeds that is stubbed into the deck of a building. There looks to be some water in the slab pipe. Head of pull was taped up and at least 15 feet was cut off. Upon termination noticed moisture inside cable jacket. Time from...

I am moving a net pop of a building this weekend. One of the tenants is a 7-11. They will be out for about 5 hours. My question is during this outage will all their sales be cache'd until network is restored or will they need to advise customers to use cash only?

Get a free field demo/loaner from local Fluke rep? You'll need Linkware and maybe a walkthough of how to dump it anyway.

4 pack MaxCell w/tracer. Hybrid 12 strand SM w/12 strand 50um; all 125um. Add 100% strand count for any pull point you could fit a future splice & 25' cable. Corning should have something w/OD +/- 0.5". I prefer Systimax

How I'd run a 1000+ drop job Get your foreman in and start with backbone pathways and pulling; that needs the most manpower given pull points. While he has his crew on that he can scope and freely think for himself about tributary pulling crews, ironwork crews, dock and freight...

Residentially I think cat6 won't do you any good over cost but I would run 6 pair (2ea cat 5e) to every drop (all slack spared for a really good phone guys use). That would give you a POTs in and POTs out and ethernet in and ethernet out at every drop by spitting pairs given a central splice point.

Looked at it with OTDR and didn't see any major problems in cable. Talked to rep and going with changing memory of cable that has been in place for 4-5 years has stressed the glass. Repulling soon, thanks

I'm having trouble certifiying some splices and looking for some ideas. I did 156 splices on new unused cable and had 2 fails via DTX1800 respliced and all passed big headroom, all systimax terra cable and pigtails. Relocated 2 cables already used, spliced, tested, most failed, changed...

Just wanted to start a fusion splicing thread. Always been happy with Corning rentals and just purchased a Fitel single splicer that has produced very nice results (enough to skip splices in loss budget and still pass). Any other :) or :( opinions or tricks please continue

I haven't come across any counterfeiting but I would like to express my frustration about supplier's (CSC, Graybar, Anixter) lack of product. Sure times are tough; but, if it's in the catalog I should be content with the 3-5 day relocation of product not settle for the 4-6 week order from...

I've got an awesome Corning puck for SC/ST heads that is very heavy with 4 ceramic? glides on it that I can feel when the glass and epoxy is gone. I REALLY want one for LCs but am stuck with some crappy plastic one from the kit that I don't like or trust given the quantity I do (mosty 50mic and...

Is any one else having trouble with unicam heads on singlemode glass or have any pointers? They work fine on 62.5, a little trickier on 50, but WTF with single? It takes a long time to get the light to turn green with a loss of index matching gel because of restrip; but eventually it’ll turn...
