I've not had much luck with this on search engines. so I am trying it here as it must be close to being classic if not already. I am trying to identify a HP fibre optic cable assembly; P/N(?) 1005-0078. It is described as a 30 metre fibre optic cable assembly. If was dumpster recovered 5 years ago and comes on a plastic drum about 13" across, which is labelled with the above desctiption. It was fitted with two dissimilar cable anchorage. Does anyone have any ideas what it was/is? The cable actually looks like black figure 8 electrical wire (standard lamp stuff), but thinner. More to the point, the fibres are terminated with a screw on fitting, which I have never seen listed in any catalogue. My thoughts were to try and find a couple of AUI to FO converters and use it as part of my SOHO network between the garage(lab/workshop) and office. -- Terry Collins {:-)}}} Ph(02) 4627 2186 Fax(02) 4628 7861 email: terryc(a)woa.com.au www: http://www.woa.com.au WOA Computer Services <lan/wan, linux/unix, novell> "People without trees are like fish without clean water"
