[AusNOG] Fibre termination in racks

[Alex Samad]

Hi

Looking to fit out a new rack - wondering what people are doing with
external connections - so cross connect into racks.
Currently, we are looking at terminating into a FTP

Looking at FS.COM they have some 1 ru - where they can coil up the cross
connect in the back of the unit to take up slack and then I believe you
just plug in the LC into the back of a dongle thing that presents LC at the
front

I have bought some stuff from fs.com - it works and is typically cheaper
than named brands - but haven't look at this stuff - any one got any
experience

Also we are looking at move from MDAC cabling in rack to SMOF -  do people
use the normal cable management stuff - we are looking at 1 ru cable arms -
the rack space is to narrow to put anything on the sides . how does that
work with fibre - a long time ago we used to use the round dongle on the
end of the runs to stop the cable bending too much.

Thanks
Alex
