24 Strands of Multi-Mode Optical Fiber
Here is a Distribution Can with 24 Strands (4 – 6 Strand Cables) of Multi-Mode Optical Fiber feeding Internet Connectivity to 4 fourplex units at an assisted living complex.
Not real happy with the cable management design of this can. But the network is SMOKE'N FAST!
Each fourplex had a fiber can feeding a 100/1000 Mbps switch in turn feeding a CAT 6 cable to each apartment.

Spool of Optical Fiber
2500 feet of 125/50 micron MultiMode Optical Fiber --Laser Optimized! And a bunch of CAT 6 in pull boxes.
Small Office Home Office
Small 8 to 24 drop Voice and Data Networks.
12 port mini patch panel, and 66 block on 1/4 blue board w/ mushroom spooler for cross connect. supports upto 12 data, and 12 voice cables. 19" rack mount shelf simply screwed to the backboard for network equipment like switches and routers.
Same deal, 12 port mini patch and 66 block on 1/4 blue w/ 19" rack shelf mounted above AT&T's smart jack. Below that is the MPOE. In the lower right of the picture you can see a couple inches of the CLEC's integrator.
A little more capacity, this is good for 24 voice, 24 data.
Optical Fiber connectivity to Solar Arrays
I terminated 3 runs of 6 strand 50/125um Laser Optimized fiber to connect 3 Solar Arrays at a Napa Winery for off-site monitoring. I really enjoyed this job!
The terminations are in electrical enclosures under an array. Lot's of power available for my work light!
Those are media converters attached to the outside of the fiber enclosure. With no cable management I simply found a way to keep the patch cables nice and "loopy". Plus, Mike's office use to be too far out for a regular network connection. But now with this network connection within distance, we got him all hooked up too! The Cisco switch will be patched into the oblong shaped monitors on the left.
This is the 3rd, and furthest array. Picture was taken late afternoon in November. I'm guessing there will be more sun during the longer months.
All Burned up
These suppressors did a pretty good job. Those black RJ14 connectors were clear before the strike! –I don’t have a lot of experience with lightning strikes, but I doubt this was a direct hit…
You can see the burn behind the suppressor I removed from the wall. The phone system, modems, and fax machine survived. The postage machine died.
Here’s a hit with NO protection! Interestingly, the feeder, and cross connect carried the current. The heat/fire occurred at the connection points. (hard wired, and modular) Based on the areas burned I could clearly trace the route of the incoming lines onto the top block, then cross connect onto the lower block before interfacing with the Panasonic 1232 phone system.
Can't see it in this picture, but those blocks are not only charred, but badly melted too.
