<p class="MsoNormal">We’re currently reviewing some DR aspects in our network and I was wondering if anyone here had any practical experience with fibre after flooding, More specifically fusion splices and connectors/patch panels. Did they survive the flood?
 Was the optical path impaired enough to down the link? I’ve had a lot of conflicting theory’s from different  vendors but was hoping someone here might have actual data on what worked/didn’t<o:p></o:p></p>
