Great video showcasing the complete process of fiber optic cable installation! As a manufacturer of ADSS cables, I look forward to one day being part of your excellent work!🥰
In a time long ago, 1990, at the B-2 Flight Test Facility at Edwards A.F.B, CA I was taught how to handle, install, terminate and test fiber optic cables and the equipment associated with it. Our group laid the cable network throughout the facility and maintained it until I left in 1995 to move over to NASA DRYDEN after the bomber flight testing ended. It was fun.
That is a good job-
Splicing optic fibre in space .
Good video, I like to see the inside work!
Your work is nice mate!
and hello from russia
I appreciate it, thank you
Watching your video from Bangladesh I am also an optical fiber technician
i need fiber really bad and have been looking at houses with fiber internet is there a way to forcefully get it at the house i have now
This is a great ad for wi-fi.
They do a good job, the speed is incredible 🙂
Whooo hoooo new video!
In Brazil, some of the large companies use HFC and the vast majority do not perform fiber fusion because it is a much more laborious processor and use APC connectors with drop cables.
wow it seems ive lucked out here in ct. drop plugs right into mst, no cabinet to go to to supply each port. each mst has a one dome or a coyote. splice box supplies mst, run drop from mst to house. splice fiber to pigtail in NID, done. cant beat it
Gotta use a clean wipe and not touch the fiber with your fingers 😇
I will give it a try!
@@joeslightwork yes that's poison oak on that tree
I think the main thing would be to not touch the bare fiber. If it has cladding or sheathing you are good. But always clean your fiber and wear gloves nonetheless.
Great work.
Nice work !
holy shit that's dangerous, aluminium ladder on a strand that follows the power line, no hook or anti-slip device damnnnn
That was an old video, I haven't got that ladder in a very long time and no longer even carry it.
i thought same thing
Ever thought about why you shouldn‘t touch the fiber after cleaning it with alcohol? Try cutting, cleaning and instantly fusion splicing without touching thr fiber… your „breakage“ problems will be gone!
this looks more work, no termination boxes around ?
This is a splice only company
What ONTs do you use? or just fiber switches? didnt notice
Do you test the poles before climbing for any safety concerns
When you put the ladder against them, they usually tell the their story by swaying or wiggling. I also have climbed a lot of tv towers in my time and they really feel like your swinging to your death. I know the main test I'm missing would be for electricity on the poles. I have a wand somewhere but never got it into the work truck yet.
Using a tree as a pole😮
haw much pric of instalation
Close to 200 I think.
Are you not concerned about the excess fibre being cleaved right onto the ground?
No nobody normal cares about outside. Inside is totally different. Gotta pick it all up.
I'm going to do my own 3000' aerial figure-8 drop. ISP won't do it. Guessing cost prohibitive and cost/benefit. They'll splice it at the coyote if its there. This is helpful. Any reason to splice at the house over SC connector other than you said its a "splice only company"? Think I can underground figure-8 cable in existing telco conduit (last 150ft) with the messenger wire attached?
I think its just cheaper to cut apart the SC patch cord and fusion splice the drop. The new company i started with only does mechanical SC connectors , push on basically.
@naturallyrootedgrowers Thanks for the response. Do you have an opinion on whether it would be ok to underground figure-8 cable in existing low voltage conduit with the messenger wire attached? Thanks for your time..I'm considering you my expert on the matter.
The fiber will not be effected by the voltage running with it, not sure if its a code violation if that matters to you. The messenger is mainly to tone or locate the underground location or break if that occurs. Ive seen most of these companies use the same hardline drop in the ground and aerial so your fine that way too.
Which brand optical modems your using.....?
ciena 3801 and adtran sdx621
i could not see but the slack of the drop lines but from the last video it makes it look like the aerial splice domes are never going to make it back to the ground? I am so glad your the one tech visit though. Watching Verizon do a , inside fiber tech, outside fiber tech, then cpe final install tech is about the most inefficient thing i can watch.
All the mainlines usually have enough slack to reach the ground, but they need taken off the snowshoes and that gets heavy to put back up and time consuming. The other problem is the main problem that most techs dont care and wont take the time to find the correct snowshoe path making it impossible even drop the line/nap since its wrapped and tangled in the wrong direction.
You guys are nice. The local fiber guy hung the fiber jack on the side of the house and said I was on my own to get the cat6 to my router. Thankfully I ran network cables back in the day and to be honest, I’d just as soon do it inside my house so I know it’s done correctly. When I got the line it was 1gb. Now they offer 8gb. How much porn do you watch that you need 8gb?
How do you like that splicer??? Or is it a company provided one??
As a contactor we buy everything out of pocket including gas, vehicle , commercial insurance, and liability. In my opinion this T49 doesn't do well in outside environments, unlike the signal fire A9 or any of them, A10 has a built in cleaver which has me mixed on loving it or hating it. You have to strip the fiber like 4 inches to put it in the cleaver. So A9 to A6 are all pretty much the same, except some have light readers and red light fault detectors built in. Most of the other techs i know use the signal fire and dotn have the weather trouble I do with the bubble/divits right in the middle of the splice. I cut out 4 splices on the ladder that went bad on this video.
@naturallyrootedgrowers Thanks for the info. Been binging on your videos in the mornings for a couple months. Im doing a project wiring 18 homes/cabins on 40 acres but 3 are over the 330ft to use copper. Was going to use poles to get to them but going with only conduit. So im not using flat drop cable due to that...I notice you splice into the patch cable into the nid....are you using om1?? (Obviously im a newb) keep posting btw 🤘
If you can get by with data only like wifi equipment and have line of site , I have used mikrotik 60 ghz cube($300 pair) , for a wireless bridge at a trailer park. It was 6 or 700ft apart. with 3 sets of these cubes all getting close to a 1gb through the air. You can buy these preconfigured as pairs. Or buy ethernet to fiber adapters , but they usually need 2 fibers into the adapter to work, they are cheap like ($30pair) im sure they are good for a few thousand feet. I have those at the trailer park also.
43:30 and I swear it‘s your bad practices!
I have been making sure of not touching it lately and i think your on to something.
I agree, dont touch the fiber after cleaning with a lint free alcohol wet wipe. Wipes are cheap, use a clean one and dont touch the cleaned fiber and you will see the improvement. I liked the aerial splicing, pretty neat.
Make a coil then zip tie it
to a strand then use lay up sticks to push it threw tree
Strip, clean, cleave. Dont touch the cleaned fiber. Use isopropyl alcohol
Somebody commented that in one of these videos, and it definitely is great advise.
I would be so mad at the engineers if I got this job, absolutely no reason for a drop that long
I think I was told 50ft was the minimum and I see anything from 5ft to 100ft.
I misread that, I thought you meant the nap, but drops vary 100ft to 1000ft and we get 5 levels of pay that increases about every 200ft.
Aluminum ladder is a no go buddy
Where are your coworkers?
Most of the contractor labor is solo, when I did satellite installs early in my career we had about 25 techs and we would knock out 120 to 200 jobs a day. Not all new installations of course.
I do the same job... but i didn't splice in the air... yet.. :)) ... nice..
greatt
57:55 hmmmmm wrong side
😮
Never Liked Wall mounted ONT's
😂
