I'm going to give a try to "fast connectors" that don't need splicing, I ordered a cleaver and a stripper, that's much more affordable than a splicer. Those connector don't seem to be very popular, there is probably a reason. I already have a 1Gbps fiber media converter. I also opted for 4 fibers cable, I will try a temporary 10Gbps P2P link along the 1Gbps. Fast connectors may not be ideal with a multi-fiber cable, but I will try to make it work. The total cost seem fair.
