[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 113174, member: 67"] Re: Soundcraft SI Expression Termination is the weakest point, and if you damage a fibre at the connector you need special training, tools and clean work environment to reterminate it. That said, if you treat the ends of the run like your gig depends on them, you'll probably not have any trouble. I asked the guys from Game Creek Video (ESPN contractor) how often they have to repair TAC12 and was told "only when the video utility guys fuck it up." IOW it takes some stupidity (pulling the cable while ends drag on the ground or around bleachers & seating) to do damage. Game Creek has some rubber boots that go over the fan out & terminations and keep the fibre connectors from catching on stuff. They're really fairly robust, you just can't be a ham-fisted nitwit. It's not 'volunteer-friendly' but that's about it. [/QUOTE]
