What is the best option for a bare fiber with out connectors for easy installation though walls , ducts , tubes e.t.c
ANS. By bare fiber I assume you mean something like a patch cord. The best option is obviously a clear path with the fiber inside something like conduit or at the very least loom tubing to protect it from any other cables or work done in the spaces. Not sure how far you need to go or your environment, but I've also seen a jumper cable run between two locations (up into a drop ceiling, across rooms to the next, through closets, etc). There's a right way and the just get it done way because that's just the way it has to be.
On a scale from 1-10 how would you describe the difficultly of installing LC ls LS or any kind of connector on the fiber ?
ANS. You need to know what you are doing and it is not like making an RJ45 connector. The fiber needs to be properly stripped of it's insulation / covering, cleaned, properly cleaved, connector attached and secured. For me this is best left to someone who really knows how.
Is it better to buy a ready made fiber and manage with the difficulties of bringing the connector along though these very space - less locations ?
ANS. Depending on the distance and difficulty of the run, buying ready made would be best if possible.
Is there any fiber type that can be bended and be able to pass though tubes(though electrical or telephone installation that are in wall already) with out degrading the glass inside ? and what effect will have the begging of the fiber in regards to data rates and deflection with in the core and e.t.c.
ANS. All fiber have tolerances and limitiations with regard to bending and damage. Fiber can be purchased with armored or thick plenum jacketing for runs through tough spaces or routes.
Finally, many times it is a good idea to simply have a cable run between two points and have it terminated in a fiber box / panel (by a professional) and then just use the approriate patch cord on either end.
