Genral question - coming off a long stint with no work with my A+, Network+, and Security+ - where can I find entry level work with this? @@fibersplicegod
I am new to fiber splicing and your videos have help me build a can over and over. Prep is the most important part of the job. Once I get the technical side such as how to read prints, and the whys to everything, it will become easier.
Nice congrats on the new position and thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it. Lots more videos to come of all types of builds this year so stay tuned lots more to learn 🙌
@djwoods9386 yea I have a few different full fosc build videos here is one on a bs closure and if you look through my videos there is other fosc builds on there to watch m.ua-cam.com/video/Qvfq9OsYJI0/v-deo.html
Not a fiber technician but always been interested in it, since I’ve worked in data centers and IT all of my career. This is a nice explainer video of the whole process!
Loose tube cable it was the customers requirements on how they would like there loose tube cables ran to tray. I know what you mean tho for no slack but whatever the customer wants we give them
Hahah I know right I’ve been working on a pretty in depth video coarse I’m putting together that will be available too here along with some cool merch. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
Thanks for sharing this video I been running fiber for years in MDU riser and now looking to start learning splicing in the field I,m going to start purchase tools to practice splicing do you have suggestion what basic tools i should bye for a beginner
Thank you for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it. Nice right on I would suggest a can wrench, snips, few sizes of ring cutters for loose tube and ribbon cable, channel locks, side cutters, flush cuts and then a few basic tool kits like screw drivers and wrenches and you will be good to go for basic hand tools then you will need to look into the bigger items. I could put a whole list together of everything you would need check out my memberships on UA-cam here if you need more assistance
Hi there ! Would you please present the splice scheme with the color code and the network diagram and show step by step for the splicing that you are working on? Thanks.
Hey thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it. Needed to cut the tube because it was spare count at this work location for future connections so the customer wanted it cut here and left for the next tech
@fibersplicegod I can understand that but could you gave let them just pass through to the next junction. I ask because I am designing a campus solution for a large campground that will have 3 of these closures. The feeder will run through each of these and I wanted to leave 12 stands at each. I will then have drop cables to 24 buildings disburses from the three closures. 36 strand 12 for each and I was hoping to just pass 24 of those through the 1st to the 2nd and 3rd. By the way thank you for your help. I have really enjoyed watching your videos.
@@HawkeyeNELLC yes for sure you can just have them pass right through just leave the two tubes you want to pass through in the basket and you will be good to go. for stored slack locations the guys will wanna strip double the length of cable for the fosc. so for example if it is loose tube cable tell them to strip 112 inches from ring cut to ring cut this will allow them enough room to have your 24 fibers/ 2 tubes pass through as unopened tubes in the basket while still allowing them to cut the 12 fiber/ 1 tube at 56 inches from the ring cut and bring it up to tray for splicing. thanks for watching and asking questions i really appreciate it and enjoy helping others with there builds. more videos coming out this week
Very nice video but I have some doubts. 1- Why don't you use ground terminals that are inside the original kit? 2-Is it the same if you connect all the green wires to the same ground terminal (without insulation)?
Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it. We don’t use the grounds that come with the FOSC kit because the customer does not approve those bond clamps with just a hook they want a solid connector with nut and bolt. Yes the the customer wants all bondclamp grounds secured to one ground heading out of the case with it tapped up with electrical tape once secured
This is all gpon build for these networks it is because the provider wanted 2f drops running to the house in case there was a basement suite then they could connect a additional unit using the orange fiber. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
@@fibersplicegod you dont wanna know how many i watched of these in one go... but that one was really confusing me but something i realy dont like is when i watched you the whole time building these and then its just suddenly stops and i cant see whats next and i dont know which video it was, i one you asked if time laps or "tutorial" like videos are better, i like a mixture of booth, but maybe slow down on some parts we cant see in every video, but i would watch it anyway haha, am also subscribed 👍
Depends if your contractor or an employee. Most starting wages at other companies are anywhere from $30 to $40 a hour for experienced techs. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it 🙌
🤑 I don’t like paying myself to much since I’m the owner of the company I like the right offs 😉 but biggest year yet with two guys was just shy of a mil. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
Not exactly. I work traffic control for a utility (data) company. The boss got everyone on salary except the 2 oldest employees, they got a share of company. Nobody is qualified for anything except the electrician. Basically a scab company. You don't need certifications, the utility linesman course is a bonus to have. The job allows me to work a few hours at most everyday while doing my own thing. I just like learning about electronics and watching the new guys struggle and get threaten to be replaced by a flagger. Always someone to do the job for less. Lol.
Great vid on preparation, as I just started in the fiber industry a year ago. Always eager to learn. Keep up the vids👍👍
So freaking informative! I work for a cable company as an MT and this was more helpful than what I’ve been given for training. Thank you!!!
This is about the right length for a build like this, and along with the narrations making it a complete training lab class.
Thanks.
No problem thank you for watching🙌glad you enjoyed the video plenty more to come

you have a specific video on just prep alone? prepping a can with single fiber for now? That is what i want to perfect@@fibersplicegod

I’m newly certified, CFOT(FOA). Your videos are really helping me.
Happy to hear this keep up the good work thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
Why did you go straight in on the CO side? Why didn’t you leave slack for just in case purposes?
Loose tube cable it was the customers requirements on how they would like there loose tube cables ran to tray. I know what you mean tho for no slack but whatever the customer wants we give them
You should charge for your videos man. Thanks for the imense condensed class you just gave to the world

I prefer the longer videos with your commentary.
Perfect thank you for watching and commenting I appreciate it🙌
Found your channel via the Shorts, keep up the good work!
Thank you I appreciate your views and comments plenty more to come 🙌🙏
good work. Love a tour of your splicing trailer

3:11 We just started using this style case. Do you have a part number for what you are calling a multiport kit or another name?
Hi there !
Would you please present the splice scheme with the color code and the network diagram and show step by step for the splicing that you are working on?
Thanks.
Did you need to cut the blue tube
that was in the bottom tray or could you have just let that pass through the junction. Seems like extra work.

Are those bonding wires you use something sold separately or do they come with the enclosure?
They are sold separately they are called bond clamps. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
@@fibersplicegod Anything more specific. Bond clamps is a very generic term...I'm trying to find some to buy lol.

@@fibersplicegod Thank you you're amazing!
Very nice video but I have some doubts.

Our cables (fiber) in California usually have nothing to bond to because there is no shielding ....So why ground and insulator (glass) 😁
why is only the blue fiber on the drop link connected? i gues for bidi transiver, but why not connect it when its there ? :'D
This is all gpon build for these networks it is because the provider wanted 2f drops running to the house in case there was a basement suite then they could connect a additional unit using the orange fiber. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

How do you know which fiber color goes to which drop
Usually on print / work order for assigned fiber and drops are usually tagged after they are verified with light
What is the blue stripping tool you used? Thanks
My three main tools are a hook blade, two types of ring tube cutters small and medium size
@Fiber Splice God Thanks for all the videos you've put out...helped me so much getting started splicing!!
This is not a good video... It's a great video! 👍
What do you charge for this type of job i am just starting out and curious what to charge?
depends on the customer and how big the cables are, how many ribbons were made, how many splices, grounding and so on.
What city was you in yesterday? I could’ve swore I saw you outside my house.
In British Columbia Okanagan area
Very nice video, understandable and very interesting
Thank you for watching glad to hear you enjoy the videos 🙏 stay tuned plenty more to come out weekly
You the best
Thanks boss I appreciate that
@@fibersplicegod any tips on how to get into the industry? I've done FTTH demarking for 12 years
Thanks for this

@@fibersplicegodwork out of Texas… never settle for hourly pay if you’re working with fiber… lol
U can work 12 hours and make 1000-3k lol
Very nice
Thank you🙌
found it.
Why do you slam things around?...lol
Just moving quick been splicing for over 10 years so I’m comfortable around the Fiber
Why is every splice kit 90% useless?
What do you mean by this
This is true all i keep is the velcrow, zip ties, clamps, and butt plugs
This dude makes over 150k a year lol easy
