great options
LANshack was great to deal with! The special order fiber came quick and everything looked correct.
Everything was perfect for my order.
Lanshack really was accommodating and very helpful with my fiber needs. They went to every extent to make sure our network was up and running in no time!
I have used LanShack for custom pre-terminated fiber assemblies for a couple of years now. The quality of the product is top notch. Setting up a new building and ordered this 1200' to connect 2 buildings together. Great termination quality. Zero issues installing and connecting. Connection lit from the start. Thank you very much.
