Hey, this was a great video. I have a question though. I have my electrical walkthrough of my new home build coming up. My area does not have fiber yet but Verizon says that fiber is coming in the next 2 years. I would like to prepare the house for fiber when it arrives. I know that verizon will bring the fiber to the outside of the home, but I would like to run a fiber cable from their "outside of the home spot" to my network rack upstairs. Since I have to do the wiring now before the walls of my house get put up, could you please advise me as to which type of fiber cable I should run so that I can put the ONT in my network rack? Thanks!
You’re better off getting someone to run the micro duct that Verizon uses (1 inch inner diameter) from the outside to the inside. I included the specs of cable they use but Verizon will have better luck if you were to officially use some sort of conduit
Pretty cheap tbh, $5-$20 for the cable at various lengths. The catch is that you cannot crimp them without a special tool which is a couple thousand dollars, not worth or recommended. Just buy the right length ahead of time with plenty of slack and coil the slack somewhere.
It's in another video I made ua-cam.com/video/O4p-OZpSMgQ/v-deo.html&ab_channel=AMPTech I'm so sorry about that, I'll post this link in this video's description so others can find it, thanks for the heads up.
Yea I learned after the fact that I couldn’t hide it in crown molding. I thought it was possible but guess not. Since then I’ve taken it down and sold the condo but DEFINITELY a fun project
Nope don’t touch the fiber optic cable. The ONT should have an Ethernet port on it. You would plug your routers internet/Wan port into the ONTs Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable
They’re hard to find to be honest. New installs don’t always have them, technically not required. You can try and find on eBay. Sorry I didn’t notice your comment sooner.
Great video but 2 points 1. NEVER point an active fiber optic cable towards you or someone else. The laser emitted can permanently damage your vision. You were shockingly careless in this video & a bad example TBH. 2. Never touch/drop/scrape the tip of the fiber optic cable. Proper light transmission relies on a perfectly clean solid. Leave end caps on until you are ready to connect to a device. Very smart to ground your coax cable. It will reduce noise/EMI on the line, although probably very little at that distance. Fiber is really awesome
What’s the risk? It’s the same APC standard, there is no service degradation, I’m sure small business customers would be doing the same to locate the ONT close to the telco closet. Plus the ONT is better climate controlled with a shared UPS
@@commandpost1 there is degration techs will even tell you you shouldn't it should only be one cable from the street that's why the don't run them if they don't reach the house
@@commandpost1 they can't even cut the cable because its fiber, they do leave however cat 5e or coax the fee extra inches or feet of length is do to how close your house is to the main box
cup-ler chickens live in a coup

This is pretty awesome!! How much do fiber cables run usually?

What is the name of that little green optical coupler?
Apc sc coupler
@@commandpost1 By the way, it's pronounced "CUPᐧler" not "COOPᐧler".
Can you show how to disconnect it , I seen how you connected it . I need to move mine and am not sure how to remove finer cable .

Just watched it many thanks 👍
Good Job, however I would of run the Ethernet and fiber cables inside the wall to do a cleaner job. In any case, you accomplished your task. 🙂

I have a white fiber cable ( from Verizon ), is there anything different about the process
As long as the connector is green, should be the same process
What size fiber i need for verizon 1.6 or 2mm
I have an optical fiber cable coming out of the ONT box at my new place . How do I connect it to the router ?
Nope don’t touch the fiber optic cable. The ONT should have an Ethernet port on it. You would plug your routers internet/Wan port into the ONTs Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable
i see outside is a black flat cable. how does it turn into this yellow wire???
Idk. I think the black flat cable is just a protector. The thin yellow wire is what is inside of that black cable
I would like to know where to purchase that grounding power adapter

The lasers they use are Class 1. Not a hazard, WHATSOEVER.
This is cool
There is probably a patch panel somewhere in the building. Just pull a longer cable and you won't need a cooooopler.
You should never be extending it from the outside just run coax or cat 6

I’ve had a tech offer to leave me extra cable. I’m sure if it’s just a few extra meters it would pass, as long as it wasn’t a few hundred
