FS// Fiber optic cables
 
This is my new thread, updated with prices. Prices are negotiable, and vary upon how much you buy. The more you buy, the more you'll save.
Minimum purchase is 50 meters.

The following fibre's listed below are single-mode, and aren't terminated:

1 fibre strand (bare) = $0.75/meter
4 fibre strand (gel coating in jacket) = $1.25/m
12 fibre strand (gel coating in jacket) = $1.50/m
24 fibre strand (gel coating in jacket) = $2.50/m

willing to terminate fibre's for $10/splice

BNR32_Coupe 09-08-2008 03:37 PM

Still have plenty of fibre cables remaining. sold a few to some happy customers

Synarchist 09-08-2008 04:52 PM

what are these good for again?

BNR32_Coupe 09-09-2008 09:19 AM

Networking at light-speed bandwidths, high-quality audio systems or surveillance security. Basically replaces copper cables but at a much higher bandwidth.

BNR32_Coupe 09-15-2008 09:29 AM

Still plenty of fibre left. Unlimited bandwidth for your home/business networking needs!

BNR32_Coupe 09-17-2008 10:24 AM

Bandwidth at the speed of light!

Prices are cheap enough for anyone to resell over a website (I personally dont have time to do it)

BNR32_Coupe 11-05-2008 10:45 AM

You just need an SC or SD pigtail connector terminated onto the fiber cables. Tools required (list is for reference only, don't have these parts for sale):
-Fusion splicer ($10k) or mechanical splice kit ($50)
-Fibre optic cleaver ($300)
-Fibre jacket strippers ($100, minus the stripper jokes guys)
-99% pure alcohol to clean the cables

After you've terminated the fibres, you can plug them into a media converter of your choice.

PM box is open, guys! Because business is doing so well and demand is so high, I've decided to drop the prices. PM for details

They're fiber optic cables... not copper cables. You can buy some of mine and some testing with it, try conducting electricity with fiber optics

BNR32_Coupe 01-29-2009 10:34 PM

Speed of light guys... speed of light...

BNR32_Coupe 02-10-2009 12:53 AM

fibre optics.. the future.

still for sale guys

BNR32_Coupe 03-11-2009 03:05 PM

fastest bandwidth travelling at the speed of light. thats 299 792 458 m / s inside a vacuum, so knock a few m/s off that as the light will be travelling in fiber glass.

ive gotten A LOT of interested buyers, but for RS, im still hanging on to a few km's of this stuff so just let me know

Could you elaborate how these can be used in an audio environment in place of regular copper wires?

you need to research optical audio, or look up TOSLINK
