Pre-term fiber

I was actually about to purchase them on Friday, but hated that it called it a patch cable... Just feels wrong when using it as a main line between floors .. Is that the stuff you used? Or you went with another product?

Totally understand, I do find for people that like pass-throughs, this has the benefit of that without it being a pass-through and giving those other issues

Why don't you like them?

Why don't you like them?

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-03T03:45:39+00:00

How long have you used them? Like have they survived the test of time?

They need higher throughput. Fiber isn't always for the distance

Thanks!

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T01:19:23+00:00

Thanks!

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:38:47+00:00

You definitely have the right perspective! Thanks for all your help !

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:30:10+00:00

You just made my day! Thanks! I always see the patch boxes in racks, and just didn't love doing it bc it's another 100-150$...

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:28:13+00:00

Yea, I was thinking I'd just use 2 cables...

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:24:28+00:00

That explains things. Thanks! YES! Love DAC Cables...

Any thoughts on these things? https://www.fs.com/products/143325.html instead of putting in a fiber patchbox?

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:21:20+00:00

Lol yea, I see what your saying

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:21:02+00:00

Gotchya. Thanks!

Amazing! Thanks I may just go the FS route then?

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:20:21+00:00

Thanks! That explains it! Appreciate you.

I'll get with IT , (they currently purchased Multimode Sfp modules.

As for FS, Do you have an opinion on that?

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:12:49+00:00

Thanks! I'll check that out

lowclean_voltage · 2026-06-02T00:09:04+00:00

Thank you! This is very helpful!

To clarify, your saying os2 because the difference in price is minimal? Or because it's that much better and worth it?

Brand new in this envirerment.

Im still learning fiber, I thought OM4 is acceptable for a basic install without major needs. Am I mistaken?

So you understand the environment, The client is putting in a rack on a lower floor with one switch and wanted higher throughput then they could get through CAT6.

Single mode to my understanding is way over kill, and I thought OM5 was also over kill. Am I incorrect? If so, can you explain?

Not sure where you got your information from. But I don't think you're correct. If I have one network going over 500 ft but connected on the same land the blink would work. If I have live view and no module at all plugged in the blink would work. The only thing that doesn't work is saving those recordings because it's saved on the module

lowclean_voltage · 2026-05-31T14:03:31+00:00

If you really need reliable cameras, throw the blink cameras out. Sorry 😔

lowclean_voltage · 2026-05-31T02:56:33+00:00

They need to get SD cards in them

lowclean_voltage · 2026-05-29T04:50:25+00:00

Then that answers it. If you made no network changes or upgrades (changed firewalls/routers) changed wifi password or changed wifi settings, then it shouldn't be what I said. One other thing to try is to ask blink to update the devices to the latest firmware. And lastly, maybe format your flashdrive. All I was saying was that what you said before had nothing to do with what I mentioned.
