Dude I’ve been working in a fiber NOC, but they don’t let us go out in the field so I’ve always had a hard time visualizing what the techs are doing, and mapping our the FTTH level connections. I’ve seen a setup for the lab, and the switches separately, but never the full deployments. Your videos are a massive boon to figuring out how all the passive stuff works. All the software interfaces are built to support very large scale (beyond what we do) and slightly different setups, so the terms are different but similar enough to those we actually use (shelf, slot, card, port, pon, splitter, olt) that it makes it very easy to confuse how it all goes. This will make troubleshooting physical issues so much easier to follow.
Just a word of advise, you probably should put at least a loop of slack on your buffertube when going in to the trays. Might not seem sensible now, but wait a few years of reconfiguring, or take a hit where a cable gets stretched and all the slack in the tray gets sucked in.
I always do when it's a butt splice. But with the 96 count in the CommScope A case it's not always possible due to the slack basket space. We do still have 50ft in the handhole in an emergency I guess.
Hello Bruce , you have an amazing channel . I'm a noob to all this but I'm looking to learn as much as possible.Quuick question let's say GPON and XGS-PON are you limited to the amount of clients you can service by bandwidth each user is allocated? Like in XGS-PON since each user can get a higher bandwidth, can you on a XGS-PON network give each user 1mbs and have a larger customer base ? Instead of offering gigabit services . I hope I made some kind of sense .Thanks again and keep rocking
Most vendors will vary on this but you will typically put 32 customers on a pon is about the most common. With our olt can go to 128 but it must be a very specific build like 128 users in 1 building otherwise u don't have the light levels. But you can absolutely set customer A at 50Mb customer B at 250Mb and customer C at 1G. It's all in the software the olt can support.
Been so busy really that is going to come together end of 2024 most likely. Our new POP in Pocomoke MD will be coming up in 3 months really excited for that will be our furthest south location with DWDM
What a clever PON design! It makes excellent use of the capabilities of fiber optics.

You should absolutely get out in the field a few days. Thanks for watching!

My ISP just announced 25G-PON and should be able to sign up by the end of the year! True 10Gbps service to my house is almost here!
Is there a press link to that announcement or which ISP is it ?
Google Fiber I think
The 25G pon is wild it's all so licensed and what not. Nokia I think is the only vendor right now right?
@@gr33n83 It's Google Fiber.
@@briceperdue7587 Correct, it is only Nokia at this time. Google Fiber uses Nokia 7360 ISAM FX-16 chassis.

Great video as always Brice, looking forward to the XGSPON in the future!
How’s the new office space coming along?

@@briceperdue7587That sounds great, looking forward to seeing the new PoP. Thanks for bringing us along, the videos are greatly appreciated!
Would love to see you do OLT subscriber provisioning.
It's extremely boring maybe when I setup a new OLT I can do something I'll be doing that in about 2 months.
