Is there a fibre optic turnround connector (or socket) which I can
put on the end of a BN24B cable to prove if it works?
I've got one that plugs into the bulkhead of the concentrator or
the DEMFA which is great, but I need a fast way of testing the cables.
Regards Henry

You might use a cable joining sleeve (I don't know exactly what this is called). This is a rectangular sleeve, similar in shape to the jack into which the MIC plug fits, and about 2 inches long. Two connectors fit into this, one from each end. This effectively connects them together. It's a way to couple two patch cords together. You could also use it to connect a loopback plug to the end of a patch cord. These are standard items from the connector makers (such as AMP); they shouldn't be expensive, since they are just pieces of plastic. paul | |||||
