Agreed. You can't switch fiber types in the middle of the chain. I can't even imagine any company that does fiber doing something like that.

Not even sure how they were able to do that. Did they test the fiber before you (someone) signed off on the job? I'm thinking you're going to have to either break it again and splice with the same type of fiber, or run a whole new run. Personally, I'd lean towards the new run. >>> Thomas Mullins <[email protected]> 10/3/2011 6:23 AM >>> I hope this is not off topic too much. But, here goes: We had a piece of multimode fiber that was damaged at a local high school. This piece of fiber ran no more than 300 yards from the main building to a field house. The original piece of fiber was multimode. The local school had an outside company splice the damaged section. This company made the splice with single mode fiber. Multimode fiber has a diameter of about 62.5 microns, single mode fiber has a diameter of 8 to 10 microns. I have no idea if this is legal. This piece of fiber will not light up for me. The school purchased FX transceivers. To my knowledge, FX transceivers will work with both single and multi mode fiber.
