    On the second termination box you connected the fiber cable to a port that wasn’t connected to another fibre cable from behind the termination box that goes to the first termination box. How is that possible?

      This is a 4-strand pre-terminated fiber optic cable and we have plugged all 4 LC connectors into the back of the termination box beforehand.

    I see the whole system and understand but what is the last Ethernet cable coming from you plug into the media converter? Can you do a video of this setup both fiber and cat5 speed tests to show why fiber is better?

    • @Fastcabling

      That's because most network devices don't have a dedicated SFP port, only Ethernet ports. The main function of a media converter is to convert optical signals to Ethernet signals.

      @@Fastcabling Does this mean for every endpoint in your network (if you weren't going with the wireless option), would need to have a media converter?

    So how does fibre termination box work did you connect it with black 30 metre LC APC
    Can you configure standard home FTTH line to multiple properties and slice network speeds example
    100mpbs by 50mbs line into 3 routers connect via Fibre cable, media convertor and router
    40mbps by 20mbps
    20mbps by 10mbps
    40mbps by 20mbps

      The fiber termination box is used to terminate and manage optical fibers, a place where you hold the patch cords, splices, etc. To allocate different network speeds to each property, you can use Quality of Service (QoS) settings on the routers.

    Great explanation. I broke the fiber cable while digging. Can this be fixed without having to run the whole line? I mean like a splice. Thank you.

    • @Fastcabling
      @Fastcabling  6 місяців тому +3

      Yes, it can be done by mechanical splicing or fusion splicing to restore the fiber optic link. However, it's important that you use use an Optical Time-Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) or a light source and power meter to test the quality of the splice and ensure minimal loss.
