If you look at breakout kits, you'll see they're made for either 250um
(bare) or 900um (tight buffered).
Pigtails are 250 or 900.
Furcation tubing can be for 250 or 900.
....probably other examples which my rum and coke are hiding from my
conscious mind.
I read catalogs. Yeah I'm weird.

Yeah, but I've never seen it referred to as 250µm.

If the glass was truly "bare" it would be 125um and also be too
fragile to handle. What is referred to as "bare fiber" actually has
the 250um acrylic coating, probably with color added. It's the barest
the fiber can be while still being workable.

That must be it, the "bare fiber" description is a bit misleading in
that case though. Strange way to specify the diameter.

That sounds strange to me.
Is there such a thing as PON on multi mode fiber?

I'm looking to possibly do a trial GPON deployment on a leg of my
active network, it looks like the FS.com PLC Splitters are 250µm.
However, singlemode fiber is usually spec'd at a cladding of 125µm.
Are they just using a different measurement or some sort of oddly
sized fiber?
