The pricing is reasonable, especially compared to having a contractor come in and pull and terminate small, low-count runs, and the results have been very good for me.
Edit (now that I'm not on a phone): I like these assemblies because I get a "super power" feeling, being being able to cheaply add fiber runs for special cases. The most recent one was extending a single-mode campus fiber termination to a new closet within a building. Loss budget was very high (because the campus run was fairly short) so we did a simple "glass-to-glass" patch on one of these assemblies to the new closet. It was going to be a couple thousand dollars for a contractor to come in and do a proper fusion splice, but the Customer ended up spending $250 for favorable results.
- baybal2 6y agoAs I wrote in another post, <1km fibre runs don't need fusion splicing. This is what I tell all people still insisting on using expensive multimode for local fibre setup for ease of splicing. Multimode will start to struggle at distances at which even worst quality single mode setup will work just fine. I feel SMF has no sense economically these days. Low power, single mode SFP transceivers are everywhere now, and in general, SMF setup is incomparably more future proof.
