It's time to start running fiber to my detached building and I had originally planned to pull a single pre-terminated set but it appears you can buy some fiber bundles with 4,6, or 8 terminated sets of fiber so it's one bundle.
The connection on the end looks weird to me though? Are they made for a fiber patch panel they just push into or what?
1 end will go in my custom pfsense appliance (Intel x520 card) and the other end is planned for my netgear 52p switch. If I get a single cable/bundle it will go unused for now / be backup if something bad occurs with the 'in use' fiber.
Anyway, what do you guys think pull 1 or 2 'sold pre-terminated' lengths I need or go with something as a bundle, and require different connections at the devices?
Is there a suggested jacket material, jacket thickness, etc, for fiber going between buildings/in conduit?
I'm only going 125' or so total for this run by the way.
