Where I see future regret is if one of those 900um breaks then I'll have
to splice a pigtail onto it and I'll end up with a splice tray anyway.
If it breaks too far back to splice the pigtail on, then I have to bring
more of the OSP cable into the enclosure and re-do the whole
fanout....or just live without that one fiber.

Subject: [AFMUG] Splice on Connectors
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?
