The experts say no because the solder creates a "hard spot" which can


work harden and break after repeated vibration, same as using solid


copper wire instead of stranded. * There is nothing wrong with a good


crimped connection if it is made properly and kept dry. *One of the


secrets to keeping it dry are to always install them with the wire


pointed downward, and/or have a drip loop within an inch or two of the


connector.

Last year we changed phone/internet/tv provider from a local company to Bell.
The installers didn't use a loup and didn't properly caulk the entry point of the optical fibre cable.
Water leaked into my house and the phone company's insurance had to make good on repairs.
You'd think the young installers would know better.


" Fiber Optics " by Bell are a complete LIE. But YOU go on believing
it, you dumb****....LMAO

You would believe that....HAhahahahahahahahahahaha
