Splicing fiber
Posted: Wed Jun 11, 2025 2:20 pm
I will be connecting two buildings 300 yards apart using a run of fiber. (Not connected to sonic)
I got a kit on amazon with 500 m of fiber with connectors, media converts and power adapters. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTH9J8WV
The fiber will be hung between trees (the fiber has a messenger).
I know that at some point a tree or a branch will decide to mess with me and fall on the fiber.
I can't justify a fusion splicer so i got a cheaper mechanical splicer. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CQV93J8F
I am in Albany. Anyone not too far (Berkeley/El Cerrito area) willing to run me through how to use the splicer better than youtube?
Thank you
