It'll be nice when you can just run a 48 count fiber up the side of the tower, plug each radio into a strand of glass and never have to worry about having enough cables up the tower ever again.

Usually it’s because the 12 cables we installed the first time are not enough for the additional radios we are adding to the tower. Yeah - I know, run more cables the first time. Except that this time we need 12ga + 2 fiber. Or something other than what we originally put up. Mark -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
