Every time we found one it was a case of 2+2 = 10. It was always (tremendously) cheaper to pull a pair of THHN wire in the conduit or a UF cable.
Also, does anyone sell a similar fiber cable that also includes dc wires?

    Ok, I see that the Superior Essex is available in 2 fiber up to 12
    fiber.  So I am guessing it would be best to just buy the two
    fiber and run one to each backhaul.  Thoughts?  Anyone else doing
    this?  I would guess that without gel would be preferred.  I do
    not miss the days of gravity bringing all the gel down into my
    rack.....

        We are looking to run fiber for all of our licensed
        backhauls.  I have seen Superior Essex armored fiber
        recommended before.  I had a couple of questions.  Do you
        usually just use two of the 12 fibers and run one cable to
        each backhaul?  Do they make a version with just two pair?  Is
        there a way for me to run the 12 into a box and then splice it
        out and run 6 backhauls over it?  Would that be the
        recommended method?

        Then, on to termination....are most of you using the scoring
        tool and the field-installable ends that you squeeze to
        crimp?  Are these recommended?  Where is the best place to
        purchase these ends and tools? I have attached Mike's video of
        this process (which makes it look very simple btw)
