Yeah normally you would splice the OFDC's pigtails into the feeder.

The OFDC requires you to manually splice the trunk, correct? The MST
may be a simpler solution for those that aren't comfortable splicing,
since it comes with the fiber already attached/spliced. Then, you
just run jumpers from the MST to the radio. Where do you buy
Commscope from, btw?

I've only used the OFDC-C12. I didn't know there was more than
one kind until you asked the question.
Having looked at them, I'd still use the C-12. It has space for
12 connectors. I would do 12 LC Duplex so I can hook up the
entire 24F cable. I can get a jumper to get from LC to whatever I
need at the radio.

Would you happen to have a link handy for the specific OFDC that
you are talking about? I'm trying to spec out a similar
situation right now.

In the past I went with individual pre terminated cable
assemblies. I went with a "core locked" fiber rather than a
loose tube so there wouldn't be any icky pick oozing out.
The connectors were LC duplex because the radio
manufacturer's approved SFP's were LC duplex (for both Trango
and Telrad). I went with individual cables because any tower
climber can replace a cable, but I don't expect most tower
climbers to be able to splice or terminate fiber.
Today I'd strongly consider a Commscope OFDC enclosure up on
the tower. I'd use a 24F and pre-splice all the connectors
in the OFDC and have the tower guys hang the whole assembly.
Then it would be pre terminated jumpers from the OFDC to the
equipment.

What is everyone using for fiber up tower? What using for
connectors?
