Wow I hope someone can help here!
I have been doing fibre terminating for about 10 years now for what it is worth.
Just finished a job doing 1000+ spliced terminations using pigtails.
Started testing today and realised the pigtails supplied were 50/125 which I have joined to a 62.5/125 cable!!!!
Cant believe I didnt notice earlier on.
The maximum run is 145mtrs and I am getting about 2.6 db loss (ILM test uncluding both terminations and splices)at that length at 850 which I wouldnt normally be too worried about as I have got the same sort of losses on much longer 62.5/125 links before so I guess the customer isnt even going to notice.

Question is am I missing anything here and should I be worried considering the job is basically the backbone for an entire campus (1000 users +)

Are the Ops guys going to notice any unusual error counts on their switches?

Hope someone can put my mind at reast ..............

What bandwith will the IT guys be pumping down,as bandwith increases so will the db loss,up to a point where they may start seeing something,length will also play into the eqation
