I'm not a "regular customer " at R&M. Being in telecom, our paths do cross.
I use them to:
-Locate specialty fibers
- Re-connectorize OTDR launch reels
-Rent arc fusion splicer for the occasionally spicing job
-Repairs on damaged factory cables that come pre-connectorized.
So, I may work with R&M once or twice a year at the most.
I gotta say that they treat me like a regular customer. You would expect to get second class service in my position but they always treat me professionally.
The pricing is good considering how expensive everything is in the telecom industry. read more
Custom made fiber with a speedy turn around. They have saved us many times over the years. Sure, you can get pre-term common length cables cheaper than you will get it here, but anything custom, this is THE place to go! read more
Realm is *the* place to get fiber optic infrastructure supplies (cable, connectors, polishing kits, test equipment, etc) in the bay area. They are a stocking distributor - so if you need something *now*, usually you can run over to their office and pick it up.
Realm also makes custom cable assemblies, patch cords and they sell/rent fusion splicers. read more
