Google outdoor fiber LIU for other options. From: Sterling Jacobson Sent: Monday, September 14, 2020 3:05 PM To: AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Termination boxes and jumper cables for Fiber to multiple radios
Yeah, you can buy MTP outdoor rated jumper cables, or MTP to LC/SC breakout outdoor cables. Fiberstore can do that, not sure on lead time, might be out a month or longer though. I also have been buying outdoor rated LC to LC cables of 4-8 count each end at 100’ or longer lengths from eBay. There are a few vendors, and I don’t have the link right now, but they are good cables, and are delivered surprisingly fast considering they are coming from China.

One style is called MTP. Might simply things. Sent from my iPhone On Sep 14, 2020, at 1:44 PM, Brough Turner <[email protected]> wrote: Looking for advice (&/or war stories). I need to terminate 12- or 24-strand fiber cables at the base of non-penetrating roof mounts and then run outdoor jumpers to 2 or more radios on the same or nearby poles. Can you suggest a suitable termination box, ideally pole-mounted? appropriate outdoor dual-fiber armored or rugged jumper cables? Background: We're an urban WISP with two or more radios on each of several hundred buildings. These are mostly point-to-point links from Ignitenet, Siklu and Bridgewave but, until recently, none faster than 3 Gbps with 2 & 3 Gbps connections handed via LAg of Cat5e cables from a Netonix switch located indoors on an upper floor. Now we are beginning to deploy 10 Gbps radios and need to add fiber to the rooftops. We've deployed SM fiber indoors on ~10 occasions when building complexes had paths exceeding 100 meters, so we plan to stay with SM fiber and dual LC-LC connectors. To date, we have purchased pre-terminated fiber cables and some bulk cable which we've terminated using a Corning UNICAM kit. The current plan is to run 12-fiber cable from an indoor termination box on the wall in our switch & router site to an outdoor pole-mounted termination box attached near the base of one of the 5' or 10' non-penetrating roof mounts used on most rooftops. From the pole-mounted termination box we'll run outdoor armored dual fiber jumper cables to individual radios. At the indoor switch/router site we'll add a MT CRS309 switch and run indoor fiber jumpers between the router and the switch and the switch and the fiber termination box. The existing Cat5e cable and existing Netonix switch will provide PoE and 1 Gbps mgmt connections. Alternative suggestions welcome! Thanks, Brough Brough Turner netBlazr Inc. – Free your Broadband!
