I have a vendor who's really pimping their SOC's. The idea is you can
splice the connector onto a 900um fiber and then plug directly into your
electronics. No splice tray.
So in theory I could put a fan out kit on each buffer tube coming into
an enclosure and then with SOC's go directly into the switch. I do have
a space limitation at the moment (long story), so eliminating splice
trays and patch panels is sounding really good right now.
Does anybody love/hate SOC's?
Also how does the splice in the SOC not need additional support when a
normal splice sleeve does? Does the connector body really protect it
well enough?
