This equipment will service the wire connections to each office and interface all of the connections in each closet to the campus fiber optic network. GTE has nearly completed the splicing of outside copper cable. There will be some copper cable splicing that must wait until the actual day of cutover. In October, GTE began to splice outside fiber optic cable. At last count, Teknon had terminated over 7000 PIC' s in Purdue's buildings.
Termination refers to the connection of wire to something, such as a piece of equipment.
Dual 4-pair Siamese cables are generally connected to PIC's. Away You should receive word through your building deputy when contractors will be working in your building.
