..and a subie brotha needs help.

We have a failed fiber connection to our SAN. For the life of us, we CANNOT FIND an LC-LC fiber patch cable (3M or less preferred).

Does ANYONE KNOW ANYWHERE IN THE CITY (gotta be in the city) where we could get a LC-LC fiber patch cable (multimode, 62.5/125 micron)?

mcdrama, treynor, dre? Anyone?

 

Not sure if greybar is in the city but I think they have them. I have some but I'm in Fremont.

 

damn yo, I just saw this.

Did you get it taken care of yet? I don't know off hand but will ask a few people.

 

try http://www.centralcomputer.com they have a shop in SF and tend to have those odd cables that nobody stocks but when you need them on short notice they have em.

 

Neither central nor graybar has them, already checked.

 

If greybar is out, then most others will be too. Last time I needed one at a colo, I had to order it and wait...

 

Aria communications in Livermore will make one if they don't have one....how long is the cable, maybe I have one.

Aria Technologies (925) 447-7500

I just re-read your post, if it's multimode then all you need is a hotmelt kit and make your own pretty easily, if you can crop a fiber cable, if not then Aria. 3m hotmelt kits are widely available for about $5 an end.

 

Unfortunately, we don't own the stuff to terminate fiber, nor the LC connectors themselves.

Graybar mentioned they might have some today, so I will check with them again today, and if they don't I will expand my search to the East Bay.

 

Also Aniexter is in the Ebay - they usually stock fiber jumpers and can have them delivered either courier or overnight, whichever you need.

 

I assume you got this taken care of?

 

I did...stole a patch from another server until greybar overnights us one.
