>>don't bother with splicing fiber optics yourself
>Why not? How difficult can it be, really?
I regularly make and repair single mode 9/125 fiber optic cables
This is the tactical shit with kevlar and poly coatings
The terminals required for the quick disconnects are epoxy only due to size
Shit takes about an hour per pair of terminals to cut, epoxy, polish, assemble
Most just use premade splice terminals and a $9000 fusion splicer
Takes 30 seconds
