Race just placed a box on the side of my house here in Lancaster CA. It looks extremely tacky comparing to this box. It's missing the black boot that acts as a coupler for box and conduit. And they were supposed to use gray conduit pipe, instead they gave me a black ABS that is all crooked. It looks extremely tacky. After watching this video, I canceled their service before activation. Thank you all.
We install fiber optics the same way. Air over hydraulics.. Got in 20,500ft today❤
Nice job 💪 20500 is alot for 1 day
@@fiberopticmissouri164 yeah, as you know.. It depends on the pipe work. Had some good stuff today
4500ft shots.. 3 loops... Went good as a 1500ft shot
No cable damage after the fact? Even after the ground settles? How far down is the cable laid?
We have had blades break on us, like scute doors exc. Causing damage to the fiber, but other than that no damage at all, 14in. Max
@@fiberopticmissouri164 Slick machine. Huge money maker. Good luck with that.
But you got to describe the video so we who can understand what you are doing
Here I'm waiting at the end for the fiber, my guys are set up about 3500 ft away and pushing the fiber with a plummett super jet fiber floating system down to me were ill catch it and figure eight the remainder of the fiber to send to the next hand hole.
Why are we putting it back on the reel it's supposed to go into the ground? :)
This is the tail end of butt splice, the size of the fiber changes at this point so the excess must be sent to the end and cut off
We set up in the center of the shot, we float the fiber directly off the Larson for the first half, but once we finnish the run we must kick the fiber off the reel onto the ground, we're we float it in on the other half of the run, we send extra to ensure we make the whole second half, this extra then needs to be sent to the end and reeled back up for easier removal from the jobsite
Wtf at the end....you trying to kink the fiber?
Gotta risk it for the biscuit! Lol it's harder to kink than that, the drill never touched the ground, a simple misunderstanding of physics when it comes to video quality
@@fiberopticmissouri164 I had a lot of fun traveling and installing fiberoptic cable. I did it for about 7 years .I probably put in at least 14 million feet of cable in the ground.
Same, ive been doing it for 9 years now, and put in about 15k ft a day. I'm back plowing now but we float it in from time to time
Do you need to ground fiber installs like you would regular internet boxes? Thanks!
We ground only main line in peds, we don't ground drops, we use the wire for electronic locates,
We use the same NID at my company lol. But nice work guys! Looks exactly like how I do it!
Help here please! If the cable get broken, can it be spliced somehow? I was digging to put a tree and ended cutting the cable. I try to figure it out and noticed that there is like a clear tube with some kind of gel and i think there might be a fine cable inside. Where can i find or what is called this cable to do it myself if not will have to call the internet company. Thanks in advance for any information.
Its called a fiber fusion machine, u can buy one, but probably best to get ahold of your provider, if it's your own line most will replace for free
Thank you. You're correct, I will be calling the company tomorrow morning. They know better. It might get fixed in 10 minutes as I got everything at clear to do the job. Super, thank you.
Hi! We are a company based in Ohio but we also work out of state. I was wondering if you or the company you work for subcontract fiber optic jobs. Let me know.
confused with everytime?
Nitpick: 5:40 ish he should have left more of the black sheath. It’s a failsafe against a fiber break occurring at the base of the strand right where it enters the slack nid(the box he mounted). The conduit work is flawless.
U hope they don't just randomly drill through the wall, wires, plumbing and furniture like some companies do and don't even bother to seal the hole!
The internet man and camera man did great👍.
But why outside
The fiber must come into the house from somewhere, this is the outside installation, before the in home integration, there will be a push fiber installed running through the wall or floor depending on how the customer wants it, then from there the push fiber gets installed into the back of the modem creating a wireless signal throughout the premise
Shitty install.
What am i lookin at here Jack? This using pressurized water to push the fiber line through the conduit? Is that water just ambient moisture in the air being condensed by the change in pressure?
It's a lubricant we use called prelube 2000
Vacuum works better and is much safer
But it wont carry it 6000 ft through 4 pedestals
What kind of router can I get for this kind of internet I'm getting ours installed soon
How would you go about digging up a fiber line? Have a pool construction project and fiber line needs to be rerouted and hung on the fence line so that contractors can dig trenches for drainage/electrical on the same side as the fiber line. I can see my fiber line sticking out of the ground right next to my flowerbed (like 3" below surface level) where the fiber line runs into the green electrical box in the back corner of my lot.
You would need to call 811 or whatever digright your area uses, they will create a ticket and should respond within the next 3 days, someone will come and mark the line out, it would also help if u have a utility locater so u know the depth
Are there cockroach’s there?
There can be, fortunately, this one was flooded when we first arrived so no bugs
Then I could never do that, if I see a cockroach I'm going to go unconcious in the hole@@fiberopticmissouri164
Very nice craftsmanship. Only comment is you should use PVC primer and cement on all joints and couplers In a few years the ground will settle and the fittings will come apart and possible damage the cable
This isn't possible, the pvc is setting on top of a concrete footing, I dont believe this will settle, besides the pipe is simply zip tied at the top with extra slack so it can slide, these couplings lock together creating a water tight seal, so this statement is untrue
@@fiberopticmissouri164 Bullshit. PVC conduit does NOT lock together without properly priming and cementing the pipe joints. You need to watch more yourtubes buddy. Just search "how to cement electrical pvc pipe fittings". Then you can come back and correct your last post. Thanks
Sorry if my correction or work offends u, but u are incorrect, the pvc deffinatly locks together, so tight in fact u can't barely pull it apart, but incase of any repair, it would be wise to leave these joints detachable so u can easily slide a new fiber through, every installer knows u can't slide the fiber through such a bend when unattachable, the conduit is designed to be placed without glue
@@fiberopticmissouri164 I am sorry but you are wrong. The conduit is not designed to work without glue. That is what people who are cheap say why they don't use glue. And that size fiber cable can definitely be pushed through that setup if it was glued. Again just a sorry excuse of why you don't use glue
@Steve_Smith_OFB I can respect your opinion, thanks for the conclusion..
Capstan should be angled
Do you need fiber cable supplies?
Yes
The seal is in the way of the rubber grommet that surrounds the fiber it makes for an easier install.. if u take note to entrance port of this nid the rubber boot above the conduit goes behind this weather seal.. so u must remove it, install the fiber an reinstall the seal..
Why did you take the gasket out of the box?
It's simple, the fiber goes behind the rubber seal, so we must remove it place the fiber in then reinstal the seal, ive seen people cut the seal but this method removes the issue,
Why did the need 30 ft of fiber at the end of the fiber run? Seems like maybe a waste of material.
It is so they can splice it in and still have more slack in case they need to splice it in again at some point in the future. Usually due to a break in the fiber further down the line.
Landscape orientation is your friend when making video.
how many KM can be pull in one go?
Five minutes before the copper wire thieves show up...
I have this plow. But sure miss my lm25 Vermeer
Try doing it with a foam football in a 4 inch
@jremee1599 I'll have to try it some time
Late to the party but thats a Larson trailer and as far as the fiber count they dont decide that they are working for a prime or have a prime contract for a carrier the carrier decides the network architecture and the design they are placing what the print calls for. As for blowing fiber that trailer alone cost about $52k. I could go on and on but the yhe fact is the guy who filmed and posted did a good job.
I am interested in job
Very good
Red Bull makes any work easier.
Hey what is that tool you used to strip the fibre the blue one? I’m just getting into the installs and we just use side cutters. Pls help me out
That is a condux conduit splitter.. when u get one might as well get a fiew extra blades.. they hold up well.. but don't want to find yourself out on a job without extra blades..
The job is not complete. Nybodycan bolt a box on the wall. Let’s see you make it work!
This is simply a video of a nid bieng installed on a customer's house.. there are other videos of a full install but obviously by the headline this one is not it..
Contractors doing a pre wire for a future ticket. not bad work, but why not terminate it? I wish i had a pre wire service as an install tech. i did everything from beginning to end.😢
We do it all as well just didn't want to make the video too long.. we put that in a separate video
So to switch from cable to fiber optic, I have to do major construction work, digging a trench in my yard all the way to the street? Then running fiber optics throughout my house? Good grief. Cable is good enough for me.
No it depends on your area. Your fiber is most likely on the pole and they just bring a wire to your house
On the inside of the property does the need to be a circle box? 🤔
I'm unsure what u mean about a circle box.. im sure alot of company's do it diffrently.. but most will run the external half from your nid or the small box on the outside of your house that we show us installing on this video.. to the pedistool closest to your property.. the round box at the corner of your yard might be a pedistool for hooking to the main line
No worries... How about the diameter of the cable that runs from outside to inside to the ONT?
meanwhile, spectrum does not even use a PVC pipe for that work. and Frontier would simply drill into your house's sidings and drop a wire inside without putting a utility box outside to protect the hole they made from the elements (except for a silicone caulk)
At least the equipment is out of the weather and secure!
There's a small square with a set screw about 1" above your 2 white antennas. In our boxes they make us slip those 2 antennas into that small square with the set screw. That's why they built it like that, instead of having to hold it in place with your own clip and screw
The clip in this video was pre-installed in this enclosure, and come with the nid, not secondary
What model/brand NID did you guys use here?
Is there suppose to be rebard sticking out of the ground with in a foot of this box for grounding purposes?
Not rebard but a ground rod possibly.. but the rod shouldent be visible from surface..
so the end of the pipe in the ground just lays there in dirt not connected to anything or what lol
Yes we will tape up the end and bury it, I made it so long so they would have extra protection through the flower bed were they might impell the fiber planting flowers, preventive measures
I’m assuming that these loops of conduit are temporary and just act as a way to blow fiber from beginning to end in one solid run?
What count??
This fiber was 12 ct.
Who makes the trailer you are using?
That would be a Larson Cable Trailer.
What a mess
