for cwdm ADM i dont, sorry. our supplier just has regular multiplexers.

no - its just a different type of pigtail, but adding another splice, will
increase the insertion loss slightly.
we once ordered a cwdm splitter box at a different than usual place - as
always with sc/apc connectors.
the supplier changed the pigtails to accomodate our request. unfortunatly he
didnt change the bulkheads, which was less than helpfull.
kind regards
