Not positive on how we are doing the conduit yet LOL. I thought if I had a small box I would take some appropriately sized (as small as needed) plastic tube to reduce it from the rigid conduit and get it in the box. The concept here is to make it not so easy for someone to inadvertently mess up our feed cable.

Are you looking for something that you can run the conduit into or just a fiber wall plate? We use the attached. I order them 1K or so at a time from china. Pretty cheap but importing can be a pain and lead time can be a month or so. They fit on a standard low voltage cutout but don't have an entry from the back. For 3mm cable, we route it through one of the side holes. For pre-term, we drill them in the center of the cable spool.

The LC to LC mating sleeve is a couple dollars extra. The conduit knockouts are either 1/2" or 3/4"...I can't remember. I did put one of these in with a flex conduit going into another enclosure. If your pre-terminated cable has a simplex LC connector it will fit through the flex conduit fittings just fine, if it's duplex you have to force it through, or split the connector apart and put it back together after it's through the conduit. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Paul McCall" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Sent: 4/6/2017 12:43:37 PM Subject: [AFMUG] ISO: fiber termination / coupler type box (not a splice box_ Small business MDU, running preterminated LC fiber into each unit in conduit and flex conduit from wall to where I want to create a demark.
