[QUOTE="dun, post: 784031, member: 34"] Problem is that there is frequently (usually when it will bite your butt) a big difference between as designed and as built. Here is a little saga. We were going to run a new 200 strand fiber cable out of a building. The engineers consulted their drawings and told us the existing 200 strand fiber came from the south east corner of the building. That was perfect becuase we planned on putting it in the the south west corner. Second scoop with the backhoe and there were a couple of hundred pretty pieces of fiber sticxking out of the hole. The engineer (that wasn;t how I refered to him at the time) looked in the hole and said "That can;t be, the calbe is over there a cople of hundred feet". That was in the days when we had to hand polish each end of the fiber and manually match it and splice it. August in the Mojave desert isn;t a time to be sitting in a hole with an umbrella over your head having to splice fiber. [/QUOTE]
