I have two houses I would like to connect with fiber (I had a bad expirence with lightning and an outdoor Cat5e run). I want to run the fiber from the 2nd floor of the 1st house to the single story of the second house over a distance of about 100ft, through a PVC pipe about 12 inches underground.
Inside each house I have the same network switch, a Netgear FS750T2. These switches have a SFP port for fiber connectivity. I want to use a TRENDnet TEG-MGBSX Multi-Mode Fiber Mini-GBIC Modules in the SFP port to connect the switches, it has a Standard duplex-LC connector.
Does anyone know of a place that will sell a pre-terminated fiber cable that will connect these two switches? I don't want to invest in a bunch of fiber terminating equipment and slicing and so forth, just want a nice outdoor rated, lightning proof cable, to connect the switches.
Also what are the limitations on running the fiber? For example maximum bend raidus, and other problems might present themselves when running from 2nd story to single story house?
Thanks for your time,
Ryan
