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.

9 Doors!
2500 feet of 125/50 micron MultiMode Optical Fiber --Laser Optimized! And a bunch of CAT 6 in pull boxes.
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.
Here I am, resorting to the use of a ladder for a work bench.
