Hello Scriv, I'll definitely look into it as I feel my terminating capabilities are above average in most cases. <grin>
It seemed to me that our fiber group had a boatload of stuff on hand to be able to match the right fiber with the right connector. He mentioned the importance of putting one SC connector on this type of cable and this SC connector on this type of cable etc, etc. Basically he said most guys try to use a universal connector on all cable and that can get you into trouble. Nonetheless, $500 isn't a deal killer if the kit can terminate Krone Single Mode fiber. We have tens of thousands of feet of the stuff on 3' & 6' reels. Gotta love the telecom fallout!

They train you for free. Less than $500 worth of tools and you can terminate fiber forever with low-cost easy to use parts. Why pay someone to come and put ends on your fiber when you can do it yourself? I figured it out which means anyone can. :-) Scriv Brad Belton wrote: >We've always contracted out our fiber work, but be careful as not all fiber >techs are equal in their abilities. > >We've settled on a group that is reasonable for small jobs and charges us >$400 for eight connectors total including travel and parts.
