12 pigtails for $11?  That's cheap isn't it?

way cheaper, with the deal i made buying the cutom length fiber from out splicer guy (his job stole product) I paid less on the splicing plus the pigtails than any other way.

since this was a win thread. I need a splicetray/coupler enclosure to put in our bottom enclosure and at the top to split out (need 1/2 inch entries). top end will be nothing more than a weather tight box

    Seeing what you mean by pigtails makes sense now.

            You already asked about this.

            You just buy the bare pigtails and splice them on. Waste
            of money buying complete patch cables.

                Im no fiber guy at all, we are doing the first fttr
                and theres alot of little acronyms. Ftw. We are
                getting some spliced cables premade, theyre just
                cutting fs.com <http://fs.com> patch cables, is that
                going to poke me in the eye?

                    Most (all?) FS SC SFPs are custom so they take
                    longer and ship out of China not Washington.

                    Re pigtails -  That worries me.  I've got some OSP
                    going in in FL using their pigtails... let us know
                    how it turns out.

                    I've had good luck with fiberstore's patch
                    cables.  However, I recently order a pigtail from
                    them that, for some inexplicable reason, does not
                    allow light to pass when spliced onto my OSP
                    cable.  I'm suspecting a fiber type mismatch, but
                    so far they have not come back with anything
                    confirming that.

                        You can always try Baltic, Amazon, or
                        Monoprice. But it seems like nobody beats
                        fs.com <http://fs.com> on price, and they
                        seem to stock every possible thing.

                            converters? I'm hoping to save on
                            shipping by buying from one source.
                            Specifically, I need patch cables with
                            SC to SC connectors and an SC SFP. Do
                            they make SC SFPs?
