Then I purchased mtp to 12 LC adapters. I just decided forget it and went unarmored in conduit to a 1U rack mount junction/splice housing on one side and a splice/junction box outside. Then I come out of that with patch cables in flex conduit to each BH. It worked out perfect but you do not want to know what I paid. Are these mtp to 12 LC the 'squids' that you are talking about?

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) http://youtu.be/rKWLCVgkNtM
