On an unrelated note - saw this outside my work this morning - guess someone doesnt like scooters...



On to the guessing - Am sure someone will guess this pretty quickly.

well kiwi i will have to say every time you post something i have to say, " wtf is that".
i will guess even though i do not have a clue
is it a reset button or circut breaker of sorts?

Not electrical as such - is reasonably common, but not many people glimpse them.

is it for the telephone system?

It is used for communications of all sorts - phones, ethernet, others..

i remember the phone set up was a bit different in NZ than here in the states.
would this be a splitter. if no i will give it a rest and see who knows what it is and get an education.

Not a splitter - will see if anyone gets it - will throw in some more clues after a few hours.

I guess you could think of it that way - it is an SC duplex multimode fibre connector - duplex being one transmit, one receive. 50 micron fibre for short haul communications circuits.

Your turn or Yamas

Always good to learn these new things.. I think SC stands for "simple connector" - But I always remember "square connector", but then you have ST, LC, PC, FC and a s**tload of others that never get used..

Fibre optics are also really good for substations and other facilities where large faults could cause meltdowns on comms circuits - fibre optic glass doesnt carry power and can be run with any voltage cables with no interference..

Not really, except it is used in the industry myself and cods are part of. but not directly.
