Last night I had looked at the Corning Spider....which is a 3mm fan out,
but every tube is orange, whereas the 900um ones kept the color coding.
If I can get 3mm without losing the color coding I'll definitely do it.

The good SOCs are expensive and a pain. The Cheap SOCs are a real pain
and it takes awhile to find good ones. Some of the ones we have gotten
from China were just junk. Others were OK.
If you are going to do a fan out on loose tube, do it at 3mm and not
900um.

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?
