Also, the Corning rack splice trays and tower boxes will accept six LC connectors (I know they make a 12 as well, but the tray in my rack will already accept another adapter later). This is me planning for future upgrades, as I am only installing one link on the fiber now. Plus, I am using field-installable crimp connectors and they are freaking expensive. I don't really want to terminate much more than that just for future expansion. I am running a fiber from our server room to the roof at the NOC and one at our main mountaintop site, which regularly takes strikes. We are installing a new 6GHz link between these sites and I don't really want to run them on Ethernet.
