Unterminated Fiber By The Foot
Our Fiber-By-Foot is in stock and ready to cut to your exact length. We can also install pulling eyes for a quick and easy installation.
Our Corning® SST-Ribbon™ Gel-Free Drop Outdoor (OSP) Pre-Terminated Fiber Optic Cable Assemblies are rated for almost all outdoor applications. This cable is unique since it's self-supporting, meaning it can be installed aerially without a messenger, while also being durable enough for direct burial installations. If directly burying and rodents are a concern, we do recommend using our armored outdoor direct burial cable or using a conduit for extra protection. This cable is also perfect for installations inside conduit and pathways that are subjected to wide temperature variations or secured to a building or other permanent outdoor structure. It's rugged all dielectric design makes it a popular choice for a variety of outdoor installations. Our outdoor (OSP) pre-terminated fiber optic assemblies are perfect for headend termination to a fiber backbone and intra-building backbones. If installing in conduit we recommend using at least a 2 1/2" diameter conduit to accommodate for the assembly breakout.

We bought a few items to self teach infeild terminations. Was easy to do and on the first try had great success. Soon we hope to order a more diverse range to support our needs .
What is aerial span length without a messenger, and what dead-end support do yo recommend for this corning sst / adss fiber?
A
The Corning SST ribbon cable you’re using is an all-dielectric, non-self-supporting design, so it is not intended for long aerial spans without a messenger or lashing support. Corning does not publish a fixed “maximum span length” for unsupported aerial installation, as span capability depends on variables like wind/ice loading, temperature, and allowable sag. That said, the cable’s long-term tensile rating is 890 N (200 lbf), which is the key limiting factor for aerial use. You would want to use a messenger wire (lashed aerial) for most spans or keep unsupported spans very short and engineered case-by-case. For this Corning SST cable, we recommend using a dielectric wedge-style dead-end clamp sized to the cable diameter (typically ~10–18 mm depending on fiber count). Since SST is not a full ADSS cable, it’s best suited for short aerial spans or lashed messenger applications, so a light-duty ADSS/drop-style dead-end clamp is appropriate rather than a long-span ADSS grip.

High quality, excellent performance, made in the USA.
Only some audiophile cables at 5 times the price, may be slightly better in some regards.

Excellent Customer Service and Resolution
Tom personally reached out to me, took ownership of the situation, and worked to get my order resolved. He communicated with me directly, ensured the order was shipped, refunded the shipping charges, and provided a discount for the inconvenience.
What stands out most is the level of customer service and accountability shown throughout the process. It is refreshing to see a company stand behind its customers and make things right when an issue occurs.
I received my cable, the issue has been resolved, and I appreciate the effort Tom and his team put into correcting the situation. Based on how this was handled, I would not hesitate to do business with LANshack again.
Thank you, Tom, for your professionalism and commitment to customer service.

This is the second time ordering from LANshack. Both times were great experiences. If you are a DIY person who has tried to but RJ-45 connectors on cat cable you can imagine how great it is to just do the measurements and avoid that brain damage. Great service and good quality product.

I received two custom Ethernet cables which worked. They were not labeled as to which was which so I had to count the number of coils.

One less worry
I have placed multiple orders with LANshack, all custom lengths, and they have always arrived as described and at length. I honestly do not use anyone else because I have never had a reason to. Prices are competitive and the communication is great.
