How To Terminate Unicam ST Fiber Connectors

Corning UniCam ST Connectors are a great solution for any fiber installer. Their ease of use make them ideal for beginners and professionals alike. Besides Pre-Terminated fiber optic cable, these connectors are the next easiest solution. Traditional fiber connectors required a multitude of tools and what seemed like an endless amount of steps required to finish just 1 strand of fiber. The UniCam connectors require only 2 minutes per strand, saving you in overall labor costs. Let's take a look at the video: How To Terminate Corning UniCam ST Fiber Connectors



Check out the other labor saving fiber optic connectors we offer by AFL Telecommunications: FAST Fiber Optic Connectors

The FAST fiber connectors from AFL Telecommunications are similar to the UniCam connectors, but actually require fewer steps. Available in ST, SC and LC models, with options for 62.5/125, 50/125, Singlemode, or 10G Laser Optimized 50/125 fibers.

How To Build a Cheap Wall Mount Fiber Box

So your installing fiber optic cable and don't want to spend $80+ on a wall mount fiber box enclosure. Let's say all you have is 6 strands of fiber your working with, or even less, maybe a 4 strand fiber. Or maybe it's going inside a closet where it wont be seen. No matter what the case, we have the perfect solution. A 6-port surface mount box. These are generally used for voice and data installations, but double perfectly as a wall mount fiber box at a fraction of the cost. Typically, savings will be between $75-$95, depending on the box. Let's take a look at what you need for a typical 6 strand fiber install. If your only using 4 strands, just change the quantity on the ST couplers and F-Connector inserts to 4. We still recommend using a 6 port box due to the size and cable distribution posts to wrap the fiber around.

What You Need:
Qty 1 - 6 Port Surface Box
Qty 6 - ST Coupler
Qty 6 - F-Connector Insert

Assembly is quick and only requires about 5-10 minutes. In this video, Mercy shows you what this all looks like. Enjoy

DVR Frames Per Second Comparison

Here's an interesting video showing the difference in frames per second (FPS) on a Digital Video Recorder (DVR). Frames per second is the rate at which each frame is displayed on the monitor. 30 fps is real time recording. The naked eye can't tell the difference between 30 and 15 fps, so 15 fps is considered virtual real time. Still taking up to much space on the DVR? Consider a lower fps rate, like 7.5 frames per second, or even 5 fps. This will still give you a fluid picture, while maximizing hard drive space. Let's take a look at what all this looks like. Enjoy
