Re: Outside plant - prewire customer demarc preference

For *only* $1,000, the builder is willing to pre-install a smurf tube from the demarc to the central distribution point. But such a deal for 5G....

Since most fiber installs seem to use pre-connectorized cable, without affecting building structure integrity (i.e. 2-inch is too big according to builder), how small is too small? Trade size 1/2-inch, 3/4-inch, 1-inch?

Does the FTTH industry have any published standards?


This is why I don't help friends troubleshoot PC printer problems :-)
