Dustin Do you know what kind of fiber was pulled? Single mode, multi mode. Either your router or switch or fiber transceiver will have a fiber connector. Type of connector on this device will determined type of connector you need to 'make up' your connections. The Jensen fiber kit I used to use, was EXPENSIVE. Anixer, GreyBar, Amp. have supplies. Jenson and others have the tools and fiber cable testers. Puryear wrote: > Anyone worked with fiber before? I've never worked with it before, so I'm > pretty unfamiliar with the equipment needed.

Tools needed have to be precise as they must NOT nick the glass. that's the tricky part. the Assembly is straight foreword, but the end of the glass is then polished to the flat surface of the connector. Use a microscope to check the outer edges of the glass are not chipped. Also, don't let the fiber glass brake off in your body (finger, hand, eye, etc.). It is nearly impossible to get it out without cutting it out. www.cisco.com has lots of info this. > articles, or whatever are appreciated. > > Regards, Dustin > > --- > Dustin Puryear <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Puryear Information Technology > Windows, UNIX, and IT Consulting > http://www.puryear-it.com > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [email protected] > http://brlug.net/mailman/listinfo/general_brlug.net -- ---------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Leche System Administrator Louisiana State University - Southern Regional Climate Center 260 Howe-Russell Building Baton Rouge, La. 70803 [EMAIL PROTECTED] 225 578 5023 ---------------------------------------------------------------- --------------04D264A9E5D00C61BD056FE3 Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit <!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 4.0 transitional//en"> <html> Dustin <p>Do you know what kind of fiber was pulled?
