Eyy :) Man i hate having to go back to run a new drop... i wish i could of just sent a 2f right off the bat. This is why i ALWAYS pull a string as well when doing conduit work but i guess the traser works in a pinch :) Amazing how the material shortages are hitting everyone Canada wide
got to love otaps facing the wrong way but looks like pole was changed as the lashing clamps are a ways off and the loop in the coax feed. also would love to have them numbered like that in my area.
I know he already had runs in the conduit so this probably wouldn't work BUT!... just an FYI "Pro Tip" for pulling anything through conduit... Get you a cordless shop-vac and a bucket or box of string and a plastic grocery bag. cut parachute squares out of the bag. tie string to parachute. suck parachute. pull wires/fiber. profit. Never forget to put another pull string with your new run that you're installing! :)
You are correct in it not working too well with existing lines in the conduit. Hard to get a good enough suction. Maybe with a plug in shop vac. I usually use my m18 fuel vacuum and I’ve done 150m conduits. It’s definitely a good tip for beginners.
Depending on where you live, fiber drops are a lot harder to get to the house than coax. WTH coax there’s a tap nearly at every house but with fiber the terminals are like 1 for every 12 houses could be like 4-5 bump poles sometimes and you can’t break the drop or you will be starting over 😂
I disagree. It’s basically the same as running coax. Although coax taps sometimes go further onto properties than fibre taps. It’s not inherently more difficult
@@FyBurz I feel you it’s really a personally opinion as I’ve ran coax drops all over the country and only ran fiber drops in Tallahassee Fla where they don’t trim trees anywhere plus I was a “rookie” when it came to fiber drops. Luckily I got a job in management now overseeing rural fiber builds through power company major upgrade got lucky
I am new to fiber optics... Do you have any advice in this profession based on your personal experience? By the way keep going you are doing a great job❤❤
I've noticed yall use naps,is there a reason? I'm just curious. Used to run drops and installs for g fiber, and we'd splice everything. Seems like if that was the case here, you wouldn't have needed to run another drop. Just use the spare dark fiber and good to go
I don’t understand why they wouldn’t just share the business service with their residence (without ISP involvement). Provided it’s the same municipal address it should not violate ToS (not that it’s enforced)
@@FyBurz network segmentation is all you need. This person needs to consult an IT person. With regards to right offs, maybe this ‘loophole’ does not exist in the US, but in Canada, as long as the telco expense is reasonable, and is essential to your business you can write it off fully - even if there’s personal use.
First video I watch of you. Generaly I always need to facepalm whenever I watch a video from the US. There are so many US fiber companies that virtually started this whole fiber thing, but the whole fiber business is a shitshow over there. In my country noone ever would put cables on poles, put them on there unprotected for everyone with a little snip to cut it, or just lay a single fiber drop. Minimum we lay in my country is a 4f drop in microduct because the cost is pretty much the same. Via a Microjet this whole drop would have been blown in in 3 minutes, 10 with setup. But it wouldn't have to be done anyway, because the second service would have been spliced onto the 2nd fiber. and 20:15 ehm? what? no wipey wipey because you have to order new ones? Then drive to a pharmacy and buy some 95% isopropanol alcohol, or at least take a tissue and breath on it. It's 100% better than just stripping the fiber and relying on the pre arc. And you accept everything smaller than 2db? WT actual fuck? People pay you money to butcher a splice that sucks up light like 6 miles of fiber? Pls tell me that you at least have a power meter to check for lightlevels.
@@florichi it’s a tough world out there when the fact that different places do things differently triggers you. Like I said in the video I submit to the fact I should wipe it, yet it’s not service affecting in any way. Anyone else doing that drop would have just left a mechanical splice and called it a day. Also I’m not in the US 🤷🏻♂️ Thanks for watching though appreciate the input. Ps there was nothing to test with OPM because the port I used is waiting on a capacity add. But I guarantee you it’s sub -24db 😅 mostly likely within the -18/-14db range
@@florichi also butchering the splice 😂😂😂 you should see what sloppy work actually looks like 😭 and 6 miles of fibre ? Where did you get that number from it’s less than 250m
@@FyBurz If you say that 2dB is fine for you and fiber has an attenuation under 0.3dB/km you create a splice that is effectifly over 6km of fiber, so sorry not 6 miles but 4.1. Sorry, but accepting a splice with 2dB attenuation is the highest order of sloppy work I have ever seen. The splicer isn't an OTDR, but if it already tells you such high values then there was something seriously wrong with the splice and you should redo it. Max dB acceptable in my country is 0.2dB for a splice and 0.6dB for a connector. And even mechanical connectors can achive that if done right.
WELCOME BACK 🎉🎉🎉
@@ExteelObama thanks man!
At University of Texas I ran all there fiber through all the university. We ran 24 Strand Plenum fiber. Took us 3 months..
Sweet man. Would love to see pics

I'm sure your system is different, but we would just splice in a 1x2 splitter where everything meets and call it a day.
Yes very different.
.01 is great man. Cox accepts up to a.05 but we like .03 or better
Yea, I like to keep it under .03
awesome video bro! hope to see more of you doing fusion splices 🔥
@@wolfganghector done a lot lately haha
Thick drop man

Very nice man. good to see ya back

How hard is it to get into doing fiber? Looks a lot easier vs doing coax installs. Did that for a short time.
@@SomeRandomGuy407 nothing in life is hard. It just takes effort 😅
It’d be more or less the same as installing coax, just much more expensive tools

Something like these

Hey buddy ....happy returns
Thanks man!
you need to use dust-free wipes and isopropyl alcohol to clean the fibers, this is how it is done in europe
Good to know man, did you hear the part where I said I know I need to wipe them? 😅
@@vwspeed2008 Don’t use isopropyl that’s pure poison for your skin use instead example Sticklers splice/connector cleaner fluid

People have their reasons, especially when separating business from personal. Right offs, different plans, phone lines etc
