We have run some fiber through our business. These are all shorter runs of OM4 (300 ft-ish is the max) probably going to LC connectors. I got a quote to terminate the 96 ends for about $5k. I also checked with my local cable supplier and they can supply me pre polished connectors, and will rent me a kit (which includes a DC-30 cleaver) for $1250 give or take. They will give a quick training as well.
My question is, is DIY okay here? Never done terminations myself but watched a bunch of youtube vidoes. Seems like a quality cleaver is also a big part of the job and the DC-30 looks to be a quality cleaver that I can rent.
And I'm waiting for another quote to come in. I'm not sure if that $5k is a high quote.
