We do DWDM and those are always terminated on a patch panel with fusion splicing. Strictly on ONTs.

From: Adam Moffett Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2017 9:01 AM To: Animal Farm 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?
