Re: [AFMUG] Fiber end problem - dealing with SC

[Josh Luthman]

Went down to a Microcenter in Cinci.  They only carry multi mode.  Lots and
lots of multimode...

Called Graybar and I now have a 0630 pick up in the morning for *PERFECT*
parts - cabinet SC/SC couplers and SC/LC jumpers.  Making my way to SFP
finally.

[George Skorup]

I once robbed some SC couplers out of one of our AT hand-offs panel to 
fix a problem. Gotta do what ya gotta do.


You get more precise alignment with the blue guys, but if all you can 
get are the grey ones, and it's only a few feet or a couple hundred feet 
like up a tower, they'll work fine for single-mode.

be aware.. the color of the connectors do have a purpose and a

if you are working with Multimode  fiber, stay with grey

High level:  I need to turn these SC into copper ports.
Right now I'm using an SC media converter and wanting to do
another pair.  It's going to be a week or longer to get
another SC media converter.

My next thought was to use some sort of SC to LC adapters - is
there anything I can find at a store nearby that would work
here (I'm near Dayton/Columbus/Cincinnati/Indy) and pick up
tomorrow possibly?

Any other ideas/suggestions?

It's blue yellow single mode 1310.

Re: [AFMUG] Fiber end problem - dealing with SC

don't know what type of fiber you are working with .. select one of these 
appropriately

be aware.. the color of the connectors do have a purpose and a meaning... 
if you are working with Multimode fiber, stay with grey connectors (orange or 
aqua cable) 
if you are working with Singlemode fiber, stay with blue connectors (yellow 
cable) 
if your fibercable has green ends, then do the green end /green connector...

[AFMUG] Fiber end problem - dealing with SC

[Josh Luthman]

High level:  I need to turn these SC into copper ports.

Right now I'm using an SC media converter and wanting to do another pair.
It's going to be a week or longer to get another SC media converter.

My next thought was to use some sort of SC to LC adapters - is there
anything I can find at a store nearby that would work here (I'm near
Dayton/Columbus/Cincinnati/Indy) and pick up tomorrow possibly?

Any other ideas/suggestions?
