[QUOTE="Riley Casey, post: 132889, member: 125"] Re: Marc Lopez of Yamaha Commercial Audio Q&A To quote my favorite line from "Hunt for Red October', "sure you can, why would you want to?" Install grade multimode LC fiber is cheap stuff - think zip cord with RCA connectors both in terms of cost and robustness. As long as you observe the cable specs for diameter you can get a very reliable connection and have lots of spares without a big investment. A build capability to support a single console or even a small inventory is probably not a good investment in the same way say a crimp tool for AMP pins might have been to support and inventory of CPCs and Quicklatch snakes. Tactical fiber with OpticalCons is a different thing all together and requires certification from Neutrick. but for permanent installs with protected interfaces LC cable ends will mate with OpticalCon panel mounts just fine. The OpticalCon panel mount itself is simply a bulkhead thru mount for an off the shelf LC patch cable anyway. This is based on my intensive 18 months of getting up to speed on implementing Dante for my newer Yamaha consoles so there are probably holes in my understanding but thus far it has all worked admirably including a couple of ad hoc 500 foot runs that included five LC to LC barrel joins in line. Laser light data is pretty sturdy stuff it seems. [/QUOTE]
