Hey Techs, I have a situation and need some advise. About 5 years ago we had fiber with 6 strands run from the basement switch room to the 6th floor switch room. The fiber was terminated into a rack mount fiber enclouser on both the basement and 6th floor. We are only using 2 strands so we have 4 free strands.
The question is that can or should we have 2 of the free strands spliced because we have to get fiber to another area in the 6th floor? We do not want to run the full run because it is closer to go straight from the 6th floor closet. Let me know if splicing is a good idea or should we run the full run. Some people say splicing is not bad if done right and some people do not want to hear anything about splicing. Thank you.
