Oh, so you’re brining this fiber from the tower base directly into the radio?  
I had figured the fiber would go from base to a fiber termination box up on the 
tower, and then patch cables out to the various radios.

I've been ordering the attached assembly (in various lengths) from Fiber 
Instrument Sales.

That cable is "core locked" so basically the fibers are buried in plastic.  I 
had to specially request the 6" breakout....breakout kits are normally a few 
feet long.

Even with the short breakout, we're finding we have to extend the cable gland 
with a short piece of conduit.  Trango is a 3/4 pipe thread, so we can get the 
parts at the hardware store.  Telrad was an M25 so that required a special 
order M25 to 3/4 adapter.

Wanting to upgrade several towers with fiber up to the backhauls, any
