I have to pull Fiber out to a new football stadium- ~1800' Underground in 4" pipe-
Mixed reviews on type of fiber to use. Indoor/Outdoor etc.

Want to push 10gig through-
Any Suggestions would help
 
outdoor-underground only. do not use indoor-outdoor product.
multi-mode well be fine.
 
10gig needs 8 cores does it not? especially as you are near 500 metres...
 
Personally, I would pull a outdoor rated SM fiber in. Pull in a
1 1/4" orange inner duct in the pipe. Then put the fiber in the inner duct. MM fiber (62.5) is only good to (around) 1650 feet for Gigabit speeds so go with SM and you wont have any troubles with speed.

When is the last time you helped someone, just because you were able to?

For the best response to a question, read faq690-6594


 
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
