Do you have a picture of the 105 apparatus box? Just curious.

Jeff -
A 105 apparatus mounting box is the mounting that was used for 1A KTUs.
I'll see if I can get a picture for you.

I do both depending on situations.
Typically jacks and patch cords when something is in a location that will "never" change or can be reused by other CPE.
Ends/Long cords when the equipment will likely be moved/removed within next few years or when space is very limited.

National = A company that provides nationwide service to a client but has to sub-contract to local interconnects for doing the actual work. Aka as ROA "Rip Off Artists;" DB "Dead Beats" or just plain "Idiots."
Rams head I am guessing is the dead end connection on a pole for the strand. That's what I learned the term meant when I did OSP.

Thanks Rcaman, any one out there ever use a chicken catcher?
Also, I think we called a buried terminal a donut.

Rams head is the first connection on a building for a drop, J hook at the pole. Can't remember the term for the attachment at the end of a strand run, Johnny ball maybe?

When I was on the crew, ram's head was the thing bolted to the top of a pole that an anchor or down guy was attached to.
