That was my thought.....for a single run just do a new one. Use the old
one as a pull string.

Paul,
If it’s just 350 feet is it possible to just order a new fiber and run
a new 4 strand fiber? The reason I ask is you can get a new, pre-made
run for abut $400 shipped to you. Thats ends, tested , and ready to
go. You are going to probably spend that much in labor and the such
to splice it.

Since we don’t have fiber splicing experience, I figured I should
query the crowd.
We have a customer with a small tower about 350 feet from their home
that was installed 6 years ago. Since electrical had to be run from
the home out to the tower, they opted to pull fiber (4-stand
Multimode) from the house to the tower through the same 2” conduit as
the electrical.
One of the above ground “pull boxes” (12x12x4”) at the house had an
extra hole in it that they plugged at the time of installation. Last
week they discovered that the hole plug had failed (seal problem) and
mice/rats had gotten in and chewed through the fiber (all 4
strands). Coming one direction there is plenty of extra fiber to
pull into the box area to make a splice. In the other direction is
only a couple inches of slack so I have to go to the next pull spot
(a 90 deg. right angle) they need to pull a new section of fiber to
that spot. (approximately 30 feet). I am talking to a local
contractor about doing the splices for me, and he wasn’t sure he had
a splice kit that would fit into the 12x12x4” box when finished.
Is there a simple splice kit (for 4 strands) that can fit inside the
box that you can recommend?
