Outdoor patch cable - These cables are primarily used for Outside Plant (OSP), Aerial, Direct Burial and Conduit applications. They are made from Commscope 5NF4 cable, so unlike regular patch cables, these cables can be exposed to the elements and wont break down because the jacket is UV- and abrasion-resistant Polyethylene (PE). The jacket is also much thicker than a standard patch cable, making these ideal for outdoor applications. The cable is flooded with a waterproof gel that prevents moisture from entering and corroding the individual conductors. One of the most common uses for these cables is when people need to run a cat5e cable from inside their house to a detached garage, shed, etc. Some people have used regular cat5e patch cables and found out quickly that they are not made to withstand the elements. Here is a video of Mercy showing you what these cables look like. Enjoy

This is an introduction to the most commonly installed Fiber Optic Cable – 62.5 Multimode fiber, using AFL Fast SC or LC connectors. This new style 2009 Fast connector has cut the cost of labor and time in the field up to 90% compared to termination styles from 10 years ago.
Warning: Always wear protective eyewear when terminating optical fibers. Dispose of cut or cleaved ends properly.
Let’s Get Started:
First, you’ll want to cut the outside jacket off the fiber optic cable, maybe about 18 inches from the end. Electrician snips will be fine with most types of fiber optic cable. You may or may not need to cut the kevlar depending on what style fiber connector your using. Since were using AFL Fast connectors, we’ll cut the kevlar down.
If your using a 250μm buffered fiber, you’ll then slid the boot over the fiber strand, small end first.
Then strip the buffer coating off the individual strands with a fiber optic stripping tool. Be sure to leave more fiber than the finished cleave length. It is recommended that the stripped fiber be cleaned with an alcohol wipe before cleaving to remove any dust or debris.
Check the fiber for integrity by bending the stripped end of the fiber slightly. This insures that you have not damaged it during the stripping step.
Now we need to cut the fiber to length using a cleaver. A cleaver is a specially designed tool that makes a controlled break in the glass. It also cuts it to the exact length you need. The cleave length will vary depending on what size coating of buffer your using. Since were using a 250μmwe need to cleave the connector at 10mm (the cleave length is 10.5mm for ST connectors).
Once we have the fiber cleaved, we need to carefully insert the fiber into the connector. Press the wedge into the connector to open it.
Once it is inside, apply slight force on the fiber into the connector. This will insure the prepared fiber is against the internal pre polished fiber inside the connector.
Maintaining slight force on the fiber, release the wedge unit by squeezing it from the side until the wedge pulls out of the connector body. Slide the locking piece from the bottom of the wedge unit and remove the wedge from the connector assembly. Slide the boot up and engage it over the rear of the connector body. Apply the connector housing onto the assembly from the front.
25 Pair telephone cable is made for riser telephone cabling applications and constructed of 50 24 gauge solid bare copper conductors with a PVC or plenum jacket. Enjoy
This 25 pair telephone cable is manufactured by Comtran Corporation, one of the top manufacturers of high pair count telephone wire, in Boston, MA USA. One thing we like about the Comtran 25 pair telephone cable is that the color coding is very dark and easily distinguished to make for easy punchdown, even in low light conditions. This is the main complaint we here from customers about other low quality brands of cable. This 25 pair cable is suitable for backbone wiring for both voice and data applications in Local Area Networks. Common applications include: Voice, T1, 4Mbps Token Ring (IEEE 802.5), 10 Base-T (IEEE 802.3), 52 Mbps ATM, VG-AnyLAN, and ISDN.
