I’ve really enjoyed the mini series on fiber. I’ve worked with fiber for years, from long haul outside stuff and splicing to now in a data center. Y’all did your research and it’s shows. Hats off to you guys for the work you put in to sharing accurate information.
Linus used multimode fiber in the facility because Single Mode is used from the ISP. What Linus did is the equivalent of replacing the ethernet cable going to your PC with fiber.
Multi-mode LC-LC, preferably OM4 if you want to run 25Gb over more than 30M. OM5 if you want to go further than 100M. If you're running fixed cabling inside your walls and you're planning to run a whole bunch of connections to a single room, you may wish to run plenum-grade MPO or MTP cables, which are a multi-strand cable typically comprised of anywhere from 8 to 24 fibers. MPO and MPT of any fiber count all share the same connector form factor, however the pinout of the optical fibers from one end to the other may be different based on which cables you're looking at. In addition, breakout cassettes and cables aren't necessarily compatible between the different number of fibers, so if you're planning on running fixed cables and breaking them out from the wall receptacle to a patch panel or switch, then you'll want to get on a chat with your preferred fiber purveyor to ensure that you get the appropriate cables and breakout method for your needs. Tripp Lite and FS are both very popular brands for fiber products and can help you sort out what you need if you're planning to do this kind of project, though Tripp Lite mainly focuses on large bulk orders, so you may get a better reception when ordering small lots from FS. It is important to note that the vast majority of SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 transceivers will use the common LC-LC form factor connectors whereas the QSFP, QSFP56, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56-DD will utilize various fiber count configurations of the MPO/MTP form factor connectors. It should be noted that it is possible to purchase SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules which are a 1G Base-T or 10G Base-T, meaning that you can use them with standard RJ45 copper Cat5e or Cat6a cables. There is another thing to note when considering transceivers which is their range. Short-range and long-range can be selected for when choosing transceivers, which primarily dictates both their transmission power along with the amplification circuit strength on the receiving side. These are denoted by the SR and LR designations, respectively. SR are ideally suited for runs shorter than around 30M, whereas LR are for runs up to around 100M, but can go further if you use the right fiber grade. Receivers that can transmit further are available, but are typically not made for the common SFP and QSFP form factors as they require more power and cooling than that standard is intended to deliver, and their transmission distance is typically specified clearly in the listing. Word of caution, though: avoid active optical cables or AOC cables if you can. While they may seem cheaper initially compared with purchasing the transceivers and cable separately, fiber is easy to break and if the cable gets damaged then you have no usable parts remaining. If you buy the three discrete components then you can just replace the broken cable and still reuse the transceivers. DAC cables you don't really have to worry about as they are shockingly durable. The only problem is the length restriction. This is primarily due to both power, impedance, and interference. For 10Gb the longest DAC cables I've ever seen were 12M, though 10M are a hell of a lot more available. 25Gb tends to restrict you to 5M, though I had read somewhere that Arista was considering making some 7M ones at one point in time. When you get to QSFP DACs you're typically limited to less than 5M, though 7M is available for 40Gb. These are all for passive cables, which I would recommend using when possible as they offer broader compatibility. If your switch and HBA supports either, then feel free to spend a bit more to buy active DACs as that can allow you to gain several more meters of length and save you the trouble of having part of your connectivity needing to be made with fiber. DAC cables are some of my favorite to work with even though they can be a bit of a chore to cable manage and route cables for due to their bulk. It's just nice not to need to worry overmuch about damaging the cable after you've been dealing with fiber for so long. Plus, they're typically quite cheap, so if you can get away with DAC cables, I highly, highly recommend looking into them. Also, if you need the broadest compatibility and you're checking out the second-hand market for some used enterprise hardware, try to pick up either Intel or Cisco DAC cables, particularly for 10Gb, as they have the broadest compatibility I've encountered thus far. I've never had an HBA reject the Cisco TwinAx and only early revisions of the Dell 10Gb switches had any issues with them. Later models have no such problems, neither did Arista, Cisco, Mellanox, and Brocade 10Gb switches. If you can, try to get the ones with the rubber-coated pull tabs, as the latch mechanism for those was redesigned and is much better, as is the rubber coating on the cable itself. Early DAC cables have a tendency to develop a powdery surface oxidation that leaves you feeling dusty and your hands with a grey film of dust and grime on them. Later revisions age much better.

@@urbanracer01 you know what a joke is right? Even if it isn’t a joke, he said it’s nothing like what most people have AT HOME (which is true) not what most “enterprise environments” have. And most “enterprise environments” have really poor networking and you can’t deny it.
I know fine well what he was getting at, It was the condescending manner (almost flexing) that slightly annoyed me considering his following are very tech savvy. "this is fibre" yes, we all know what a fibre optic patch cable looks like.
4:22 Actually single mode fiber can manage multiple wavelengths, for example in DWDM technology, the difference between single and multimode is in the way the light travels, is more a physics thing.
Depending on length, the OS2 patch cables can be cheaper than OM4 while the receivers are about $20 more (for 25Gbps at fs). I'm not sure that qualifies as "really expensive"? I have a pair of two dual 25Gbps mellanox cards, and the $40 diff for a pair seems more rounding error, but ymmv. It's the 25Gbps switch that's "really expensive".
I have been installing fiber cables for most of the Major Cell carriers for over a decade now and I have never seen it explained as simply as you did here. I am sending sections of this to my techs who maintain Cell sites on Towers. They test and replace Fiber everyday and many of them don't understand how they work. I remember when we first ran into Multi Mode Fiber because we were use to Single mode and it was new to us. I honestly learned from this too. You do a great job and I have enjoyed your videos for a long time. Thank You!
"getting a technician is very expensive..." *Me:* must be because they're trained in a high skill job! "here's the sensor to check the line that cost $20000" 👌
To be fair it's 20k because it's Fluke. I have one from exfo which does all the same thing and it's about 6k and it even has a wireless inspection scope.
My brother works for open reach as a fibre optics engineer. The tool to connect 2 fibre optics together cost around £7000. Fibre optic equipment is where 90% of the cost is.
ltt when cable managing a computer: this is crucual and mistakes must not be forgiven ltt when cable managing their in house network: meh, just put it wherever
I got thrown into the deep end of fiber networking when I was hired to fix and finish another company's partial installation. I was so happy to learn that coupling and adapters for fiber terminations are widely compatible. I fixed all of the issues and got a call a week later it wasn't working after the COO of the company tried to fix an issue by unplugging a fiber cable and plugging it back in - he completely destroyed two of the 12 fiber bundle and I switched them over to another unused pair.
And i learned all this in two years at a cheapo community college, turns out its not rocket surgery. making fiber? now thats some rocket surgery, but the installing stuff is no more complicated than any other networking, just 10x more fragile. watching them install this makes me cringe though. i dont know what their problem with ladders is lol.
He's REALLY reaching for that minor audience that just watches for the memes. The net techs that got him successful have known fiber optic for at least 15 years. Shoot, Linus himself used to do all sorts of documentary-style videos where hed go way in-depth for that one single cable but now its dabs for t3h lulz
Edit, yes, I have actually watched the video now. It's actually pretty sad really, a few years ago he would have explained that that's OM3/4 MMF, and a brief explanation of why you would go with MMF over SMF for a smaller network.
@@charlesturner897 when your channel is on a scale like his, there really isn’t a point in doing so because a vast majority of people watching are ones that aren’t ever going to use the information.
There was an entire section explaining MMF vs SMF and why you would pick one over the other. He skimmed over OM3 vs OM4 but all that matters really to anyone is the same difference between CAT 5 vs 6. "One goes faster/further with less loss."
Also, you can tell that he couldn't find anyone who had worked in a datacenter to give him advice about which grade of fiber to run. OM3 is fine for 10/16Gb networking, and you can make do with it for short runs that need 25/32Gb, but anyone who has worked in a datacenter in the last several years would have told him that you should not, under any circumstances, be ordering OM3 for long-term installations with the current rapid progression of switching speeds. Run OM4 or OM5 so you have headroom to upgrade in the future without needing to fish the fiber out of the conduit and replace it. You may spend a third more now, but it's better than having to spend twice to upgrade the cables in the future when you decide to move to a 50Gb Arista switch or someone decides to update the standard again to make 100Gb the new 25Gb (this is coming and is inevitable). By the time I'd left my previous job, all orders for OM3 cables had been halted and only OM4 was being ordered due to the shift to 25/32Gb and higher networking making it unsustainable to keep putting inadequate fiber in the cable management trays.
As a network and security engineer, I already know I'm gonna have a hard time watching some of the things they are going to do 😂 but that's what makes LTT videos so friggen good! 😅
@@Layarion well, you see, its delicate glass wire that is being thrown around, and bent, and twisted, and generally roughhoused. It may be cheap to them, but its expensive in man-hours to install, because of all the crap that goes with it.

He's worn the FSM shirt a few times now, it's always fun to see that jake is a combined computer/car guy as well, so we know for a fact he's also constantly broke and in a perpetual state of waiting for parts
"Maybe we should have tested these cables before putting them in" lol, this is exactly what we did when I worked in a data center. Always test beforehand
@@honestgoat yeah, as of now I can only actually transfer around 4.5 to 5gig but better to have overhead for when upgrades happen. Just sucks that my internet speed is at 1gig
I also like how they're using a camera to look at the fiber to make sure it's clean, when you get just hit it once with a pen and be sure that it's clean and not f****** worry about it. It's like pennies for the one-click my guy, just clean the damn thing. It'll be fine, it's not like you're installing 200 fibers and you have to worry about making it stretch.
I can see fiber being useful to run to maybe 1 PC masterrace room if it's far away from server storage or ISP modem. Otherwise going cat7 or cat8 is ideal because you get the benefits of cooper like PoE and can terminate at the wall and not have to use prefab length cable.
@@MrJohnboyofsj prefab length is annoying but when buying from FS.com the price is quite reasonable. Plus I work for a fiber ISP for ten years, so this is my specialty.
I'm glad you guys covered fiber connector cleaning, super important! Following up the cleaning tool with a short blast of canned air is a good 1-2 punch for cleaning. Also of note, fiber is not very tolerant of tight bends. While it might not physically damage or break the fiber, the signal will attenuate everely if the cable is bent to a small radius. I'm not 100% about the physical phenomenon that causes this effect, but I believe that the tight bend defeats the total internal reflection of the light inside the core of the fiber and it will "leak" into the cladding
Looking at it when the source is only an LED is not too damaging to your retinas, the eye usually is able to regenerate that damage. When the source is a 100Gigabit Laser SFP tho, that is a different story. We usually just check using a phone camera, tho.
@@NameName-eq7oe depends on the type of satellite we're talking here. Current tech is pushing new satellite network companies to the spotlight like Starlink
@@justinmcgough3958 You realize photons only go so fast, right? Starlink is slated for 20ms minimum latency from satellite to user (see here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_constellation#Two-way_communication). That's honestly pretty shitty for an ISP unless you're literally just browsing the web and getting email. Anything interactive will most likely see latency problems, not to mention that weather and atmospheric conditions will wreak havoc. Is it impossible? No. Will it be awesome and great? Also no. Will it ever be better than land-based services? Again, no. Is it better than nothing? Sure.
Fun Fact: Fibre optic is the standard data cable in the Netherlands. Everyone has a fibre optic connection at home with 100/1000Mbit speeds. Monthly subscription to our ISP with these speeds is between €50 and €80 a month.
Yeah, when I studied in Nijmegen in 2011-13 super fast internet was just part of the deal in the student housing, didn't need to pay anything extra for it. They already had fiber-optic cables down in large parts of the city going right to the buildings then and were expanding it further.

"This looks nothing like the network cable in your house" Correct, Linus. Mine is higher-grade single-mode!
Finally, I've been able to out-OTT LTT!
SM for household application is overkill. We dont use it indistrial mission critical applications.
wait what? how? tell me about it.
i want that in my house aswell...
I would bet it's not yours but your ISP's.
Linus used multimode fiber in the facility because Single Mode is used from the ISP.
What Linus did is the equivalent of replacing the ethernet cable going to your PC with fiber.
"You know I'm not celibate. You've met my children"
- Linus 2021
read it as he said it
"You saw the FBI ask me questions."
Multi-mode LC-LC, preferably OM4 if you want to run 25Gb over more than 30M. OM5 if you want to go further than 100M. If you're running fixed cabling inside your walls and you're planning to run a whole bunch of connections to a single room, you may wish to run plenum-grade MPO or MTP cables, which are a multi-strand cable typically comprised of anywhere from 8 to 24 fibers. MPO and MPT of any fiber count all share the same connector form factor, however the pinout of the optical fibers from one end to the other may be different based on which cables you're looking at. In addition, breakout cassettes and cables aren't necessarily compatible between the different number of fibers, so if you're planning on running fixed cables and breaking them out from the wall receptacle to a patch panel or switch, then you'll want to get on a chat with your preferred fiber purveyor to ensure that you get the appropriate cables and breakout method for your needs. Tripp Lite and FS are both very popular brands for fiber products and can help you sort out what you need if you're planning to do this kind of project, though Tripp Lite mainly focuses on large bulk orders, so you may get a better reception when ordering small lots from FS. It is important to note that the vast majority of SFP, SFP+, and SFP28 transceivers will use the common LC-LC form factor connectors whereas the QSFP, QSFP56, QSFP-DD, and QSFP56-DD will utilize various fiber count configurations of the MPO/MTP form factor connectors. It should be noted that it is possible to purchase SFP and SFP+ transceiver modules which are a 1G Base-T or 10G Base-T, meaning that you can use them with standard RJ45 copper Cat5e or Cat6a cables. There is another thing to note when considering transceivers which is their range. Short-range and long-range can be selected for when choosing transceivers, which primarily dictates both their transmission power along with the amplification circuit strength on the receiving side. These are denoted by the SR and LR designations, respectively. SR are ideally suited for runs shorter than around 30M, whereas LR are for runs up to around 100M, but can go further if you use the right fiber grade. Receivers that can transmit further are available, but are typically not made for the common SFP and QSFP form factors as they require more power and cooling than that standard is intended to deliver, and their transmission distance is typically specified clearly in the listing.
Word of caution, though: avoid active optical cables or AOC cables if you can. While they may seem cheaper initially compared with purchasing the transceivers and cable separately, fiber is easy to break and if the cable gets damaged then you have no usable parts remaining. If you buy the three discrete components then you can just replace the broken cable and still reuse the transceivers. DAC cables you don't really have to worry about as they are shockingly durable. The only problem is the length restriction. This is primarily due to both power, impedance, and interference. For 10Gb the longest DAC cables I've ever seen were 12M, though 10M are a hell of a lot more available. 25Gb tends to restrict you to 5M, though I had read somewhere that Arista was considering making some 7M ones at one point in time. When you get to QSFP DACs you're typically limited to less than 5M, though 7M is available for 40Gb. These are all for passive cables, which I would recommend using when possible as they offer broader compatibility. If your switch and HBA supports either, then feel free to spend a bit more to buy active DACs as that can allow you to gain several more meters of length and save you the trouble of having part of your connectivity needing to be made with fiber. DAC cables are some of my favorite to work with even though they can be a bit of a chore to cable manage and route cables for due to their bulk. It's just nice not to need to worry overmuch about damaging the cable after you've been dealing with fiber for so long. Plus, they're typically quite cheap, so if you can get away with DAC cables, I highly, highly recommend looking into them. Also, if you need the broadest compatibility and you're checking out the second-hand market for some used enterprise hardware, try to pick up either Intel or Cisco DAC cables, particularly for 10Gb, as they have the broadest compatibility I've encountered thus far. I've never had an HBA reject the Cisco TwinAx and only early revisions of the Dell 10Gb switches had any issues with them. Later models have no such problems, neither did Arista, Cisco, Mellanox, and Brocade 10Gb switches. If you can, try to get the ones with the rubber-coated pull tabs, as the latch mechanism for those was redesigned and is much better, as is the rubber coating on the cable itself. Early DAC cables have a tendency to develop a powdery surface oxidation that leaves you feeling dusty and your hands with a grey film of dust and grime on them. Later revisions age much better.

“That would be really expensive and kind of stupid.” I mean it sounds like both those boxes have already been checked off anyway.
Depending on length, the OS2 patch cables can be cheaper than OM4 while the receivers are about $20 more (for 25Gbps at fs). I'm not sure that qualifies as "really expensive"? I have a pair of two dual 25Gbps mellanox cards, and the $40 diff for a pair seems more rounding error, but ymmv. It's the 25Gbps switch that's "really expensive".

Windows: Locating Linus' Patience
Linus: "WATERMELON SUGAR"
Editors: No.

Also, you can tell that he couldn't find anyone who had worked in a datacenter to give him advice about which grade of fiber to run. OM3 is fine for 10/16Gb networking, and you can make do with it for short runs that need 25/32Gb, but anyone who has worked in a datacenter in the last several years would have told him that you should not, under any circumstances, be ordering OM3 for long-term installations with the current rapid progression of switching speeds. Run OM4 or OM5 so you have headroom to upgrade in the future without needing to fish the fiber out of the conduit and replace it. You may spend a third more now, but it's better than having to spend twice to upgrade the cables in the future when you decide to move to a 50Gb Arista switch or someone decides to update the standard again to make 100Gb the new 25Gb (this is coming and is inevitable). By the time I'd left my previous job, all orders for OM3 cables had been halted and only OM4 was being ordered due to the shift to 25/32Gb and higher networking making it unsustainable to keep putting inadequate fiber in the cable management trays.

I'm glad you guys covered fiber connector cleaning, super important! Following up the cleaning tool with a short blast of canned air is a good 1-2 punch for cleaning. Also of note, fiber is not very tolerant of tight bends. While it might not physically damage or break the fiber, the signal will attenuate everely if the cable is bent to a small radius. I'm not 100% about the physical phenomenon that causes this effect, but I believe that the tight bend defeats the total internal reflection of the light inside the core of the fiber and it will "leak" into the cladding
