@@Assimilator1 eww 0.1db?

I just use a fusion splicer then test with an OTDR.

Most likely they can’t find the tiny breakout aren’t aloud to fix the break and have to replace the whole wire.New wire from power lines routed to your roof and a around it then into your house.

Hello Braxton, Thank you for taking the time to view our repair video! You can buy or rent these tools directly from Aeromotive! Give us a call at 224-535-9220!
@@AeromotiveUsServices I didn't want to call the US as I'm in the UK ;). Would you be able to give me price here, or give me a link as to where I could buy it in the UK? Or failing that, the manufacturer of those tools?
I’m sure My AT&T fiber optic cable broke again. By the Dogs. I wanted to fix it myself but it’s looking like you need special tools. I’ll have to call for repair. Should I say my dogs did it or it happened on its own. I’m not looking to pay for this hair thin cable.
Just Give us a call at 224-535-9220 and let our team know you came from our you tube video : How to repair a fiber optic cable. We might have some or know where to find them.
this loss will be high, even worse, you did not clean the fibre.. this MIGHT suffice for an emergency overnight fix until you get the fusion splicer onsite first thing in morning, but leave that as perm repair. no fscking way
Assuming it had been cleaned (is it the tip of the cable that should've been cleaned?), why not as a permanent repair? (I'm just casually looking into this regarding broadband fibre repairs). Also I'm reading that a mechanical splice loss is ~0.3db, would that be too much for broadband? Or any application??
When you say he didn't clean it are you referring to him not using the sand paper to expose the metal? I was wondering why after he spliced it that the wire looked black.
@@kevinsono the colour code of the fibre is not only strange, but yeah, the core of that fibre could have all sort of dust, finger oils and muck on it - its why the first thing they teach you is to never ever take the dust cap off, dust and crap particles in the air will find its way there, thats why even after removing dust cap you clean the ferrule, this will cause serious problems, nice clean cut nice smooth edge, you cant possible see that in fibre cable without teh proper equipment, its not the same as copper, its why decent fibre cleavers cost 500 plus dollars. If I ran his cable through a certifier it would fail for sure, the losses would be high. To manually fix fibre break before you can get a a fusion splicer to do it properly, there are manual repair kits out there, and i'm sure in hte past I've seen some of those videos in my recommendations, but a long time ago, maybe Corning, or Belden, or AFL, they'd certainly have the kits.
@@kevinsono fosco connect have a reasonable manual termination video - though I disagree with their stripping cable, you use the 2nd (middle) position to remove the buffer, and then repeat using the 3rd to remove the acrylate coating (that guy uses the 3rd slot for everything tst tst) ua-cam.com/video/Z_fLiDHNXNE/v-deo.html
Where can i buy this? I need to buy two of these adapters.
i also would like to know the loss on this cable repair pls specify
This site - community.fs.com/blog/how-to-repair-the-accidentally-cut-fiber-optic-cables.html - says ~0.3db

Does the repair reduce internet speed ?
Basically yes. All depends on the angles but with the clean cuts very little yo no alterations may occur
