Uniboot fiber

[Stril]

Hi!

I just need some new fiber cables and saw that FS.com has Uniboot-cables that are not that expensive.

What would you choose for 40GbE connections over single mode fiber?
Uniboot or "classic" fibers within the rack?

And a second question:
In which diameter do you buy your fibers? 2mm? 3mm? 0.9mm?

Thank you for your help!

Compared with “classic” fiber cables, uniboot fiber cable occupies less space during installation, with its special connector. For me, if there are numbers of cables in the 40GbE connection, I would choose uniboot fiber, as you said, they are not expensive.

"I hat some broken fibers in the last shipment and there reaction was just ridiculous."

So you have got your uniboot fiber cable?

...not yet. The "damaged cables" have been standard-fibers - not uniboot.
