Err... the conduit is metal. They screwed some PVC onto the end that does... nothing.

Thanks, wires. There is underground conduit ready to go, PVC, at least 2.5 inches diameter, and it's empty except a pull line. Several extra conduits too. Running and if necessary replacing in the future shouldn't be difficult. Just want to make sure I don't use something completely wrong. I...

Thank you for all the info Mikey. Since I'll be doing the install myself and have no fiber experience (or fiber testers), I was going to get pre-terminated cables. It's obvious I'll have to consider this portion of the project a bit more.

Now that I found l-com's custom order selector, running the fiber inside building one all the way to the main patch panel will be a little too expensive. I also realized the connectors will make it difficult to run into the building. So it will be terminated within 10ft of coming out of the...

Thanks, Mikey. I was going to go with 62.5 multimode with SC connectors to go with the transceivers. The transceivers will limit the speed to 100Base-TX, but that will be fine for our purposes. I only went fiber to avoid grounding/lightning issues, which is why I went with a cable with a...

Thanks, wires. Yeah - the shed and building 1 are on the same ground. Grounding my three small patch panels seemed like overkill to me but just wanted to make sure.

I'm trying to centralize our network wiring that currently has 5 switches among 2 floors - no home-runs. I'm also trying to network a 2nd building 125ft away for which there is already empty underground PVC conduit running from a shed attached to Building 1 and the basement of Building 2. There...

So I wound up getting an 801K, which worked great despite all the power lines in close proximity. It turned out there were four more 66 blocks in another part of the building where I have to install a cross connect as well. A test with leads and alligator clips worked fine so am getting a punch...

Thanks for the "tips", Tim!

Great. Thank you again.

Thanks, Telecomp. So the tone generator can't do any damage?

Can a tone and probe such as the Progressive 701K that I may buy damage our Lucent control unit if I plug the tone module into a jack that is connected to the unit at the other end? Will simply disconnecting the extension lines from the control unit make it safe to proceed? Fax, fire, security...
