There is an art form that unfortunately is vanishing from our culture: the stubborn fortitude that causes people to attempt to fix just about anything around the house or office. While my dad taught me that you can temporarily fix just about anything with duct tape, epoxy glue and tie wraps, today’s devices are not so easily patched or repaired.
But all is not lost for our faithful friend duct tape. Most industry-specific tools are quite expensive, but common fiber optic technician actions when installing connectors and splices can be performed safely and cleanly using inexpensive duct, cellophane and painter’s tape.
