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
