Yeah thanks, I found that too. I guess I just wasn't looking with my
eyes open last night.

All orange would generally indicate MM. All yellow would be SM. You
can get them color coded as well.

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?
