Customer fiber for FTT* deployment
Apologies if this comes through twice, it's been waiting for moderation for 30 hours or so. I am researching a project that would involve running fiber to several thousand kiosks in a dense metro area. My $dayjob owns very dense metro fiber footpring in the metro in question, but splicing costs are high, and I prefer not to strand a lot of backbone fibers if at all possible. The customer's plan is to have a hub connected with a 10G link, and 9 spokes connected to the hub via a 1G link. The initial plan was to build laterals to the hub site, connect the hub site to backbone fiber that runs to a site with 10G switches, build laterals to each of the spoke sites, and have each of the spokes connected to backbone fiber pairs to the hub lateral and then to the hub Ethernet switches. I've been thinking about a more efficient way to do this, and I thought that I had read something on this list several years ago about custom fiber bundles with something like X pairs of different lengths in a single bundle. I would ideally like to be able to order a bundle with 10 pairs of SM fiber, with 2 pairs being 200' long, 2 pairs being 400' long, 2 pairs being 600' long, 2 pairs being 800' long, and the remaining 2 pairs being 1000' long. Has anyone ordered this type of fiber bundle before, and could you recommend a vendor that I can speak with about this? Jeremiah
