    A customer we are working with wishes DECsite to use an FDDI MIC patch
    panel (not ST connectors).
    
    Do we/Can we sell or support such an option.
    
    Are there any problems with having no ST connectors, just MIC in the
    cable plant ?
    
    Is there a procedure for certifying new cabling products ?
    
    Regards

    Since "virtually anything" is "supportable" via a Cat C contract, the
    answer is yes. However, "support", in this case, stops at the local office.

    Limited flexibility.

    Absolutely. See the DECconnect Fiber Optic Installation manual.
