Thanksgiving turkey already on my mind.. *bringing not brining! From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Scott Vander Dussen Sent: Thursday, November 12, 2015 11:32 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Fiber up a tower
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.

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.
