10 Gbps is really a game changer if you have large quantity of data to transfer (multiple terabytes), but 10G cards and equipment are power hungry so I only put out a dangling fiber one in a while to make a backup but the speed is appreciable.
Also I'm still looking for a solution setup a ~200m link, Ethernet and WLAN are not an option, so I'm only left with fiber, 1Gbps would be sufficient, but I won't be able to do it myself because of the price of a splicer. I thought about asking an installer to do the splicing for me, it shouldn't be that expensive, maybe on day.
- yuvadam 4y agoAny reason you can't use pre-terminated fiber?
- y04nn 4y agoI have to pass the fiber cable through conduits that are not very large and they are not straight. So I will need to use a pull line. Using pre-terminated fiber will either bock or destroy the connector.

- dale_glass 4y agoDuplex LC connectors can be split apart and later reassembled. With a bit of fiddling and taping things you can get a cable through a hole that's too small for an assembled duplex. https://www.flukenetworks.com/sites/default/files/blog/101_series_know_your_fiber_connectors_3_1.png https://www.flukenetworks.com/sites/default/files/blog/101_s... http://www.fiber-optic-cable-sale.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/Simplex-duplex-LC-connector.jpg http://www.fiber-optic-cable-sale.com/wp-content/uploads/201...
- y04nn 4y agoI'm going to give a try to "fast connectors" that don't need splicing, I ordered a cleaver and a stripper, that's much more affordable than a splicer. Those connector don't seem to be very popular, there is probably a reason. I already have a 1Gbps fiber media converter. I also opted for 4 fibers cable, I will try a temporary 10Gbps P2P link along the 1Gbps. Fast connectors may not be ideal with a multi-fiber cable, but I will try to make it work. The total cost seem fair.
- namibj 4y agoThere are toolless mechanical splices for about a buck each. Pre-terminated cable also exists, and a single fiber with an LC plug for bidi is small enough to fit through typical conduit.
