- Anyone that can crimp an RJ-45 can also put a connector on the end of a fiber cable with some help from affordable Amazon splicers. Are they worth getting, and do you give up any features by going this route? I will very quickly go over the product so that you can see it in action.
The splicer from this video is this one, links support our channel!

Good video man !!
This reminds me of when I got AT&T to finally pull fiber into our office back 5-6 years ago. I quizzed the guy doing the splicing and he ended up giving 3-4 of us a tutorial on how to do it, just like yours. He was a pretty good teacher and our office crew enjoyed learning something new.
Small warning, be careful not to poke yourself with exposed fibers. These exposed fibers are extremely painful if they break off in your fingertips. Once they break off they are impossible to remove.
"In house" in this case not necessarily meaning it's cheap enough to consider for a hobbyist homelab's house :)
Looking into this! Thanks!
thanks for the video. which one would you recommend for PM splices? (polarization maintaining and low loss(=very good splice)?) what do I need to consider when selecting a model? (eg fiber core/cladding size etc)?
One question I have is that After the Fiber is spliced what do you do to cover it and protect it? Only people I see doing this uses some type of box to cover it up. What do you use to splice them together into a longer fiber cord?
Good video man !!
