i've never done this before, i've always just bought fiber with ends on it, even for a longer 100ft run, i just pull the cable with the ends on it...
well, i've got some sites where i really need to run aerial fiber between some buildings, 5 buildings to be exact, so 4 aerial fiber runs, terminating into switches in each building... (actually i may add a 5th as well for a 6th building)
what all is required these days, i literally don't have any trancievers for my switches or anything, the goal is 1 gbps (would be nice to be able to run 10gbps in the future), the distance is probably <100m between every building (the last run may be 200m)
what tools/fiber/transceivers would be needed for this? obviously i'm trying to keep costs low by not going underground, plus there is currently stuff underground and we're having lots of problems... as they are temporary buildings (could very well be gone in 10 years) i think aerial fiber would be fine...
i get conflicting reports on whether i need to actually have a fusion splicer or not, i really don't know anything about this... educate me [H]
