Testing fiber optics

- In this video, I will be testing the existing fiber distribution hub that I spliced into to provide access to a new development area for this network. This is day 6 of the build series I will be explaining throughout the video what I am seeing based on the test results and explaining in detail how I determine if the splicing has been done correctly.

Beautiful countryside views, along with equally beautiful work to ensure network connectivity.❤
Thanks for showing us the horse!
Hahah no problem 😂 heading back there today so may be another appearance in tomorrows video 😂😂 thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
Finally, a channel showing fiber in the field (literally..) I retired a year ago from installing /servicing Ciena servers for ISP's up and down the east coast. This last year, the local electric coop started installing fiber for internet, and it's getting close to my neck of the woods. Needless to say, I'm 'biting at the bit' to drop the cable co, and get some decent speed. Keep up the videos, they keep my interest going!
Nice that’s awesome hopefully they get you that fiber quickly. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it more videos coming out daily
As a design engineer, 20 years ago I used to specify OTDR tests on school campus backbones, I gave up on OTDR results as most contractors didn't know how to do them properly. It's a lot easier now. They would submit test results showing signal gain 😢
Nice that’s awesome, happy to hear from someone with so many years of experience. Yea OTDR are a lot more user friendly these days. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
Can you do a tour of everything inside one of those cabinets?
Yea for sure I can make that happen🙌 thanks for watching and subscribing I appreciate it
At one campus I made the contractor re-terminate 120 fiber terminations because they didn't install buffer tubes. but that was 20 years ago, products are more robust now. If I recall I was specifying gel-filled loose tube and switched to tight buffer.
This is starting to make more and more sense now man ! Keep this going !!
Glad to hear this yea we are going hard all gas no brakes 😂 new video dropping tomorrow on finding bad splices, going to fix them and retesting them to prove it’s fixed 🙌🙌
I'm so used to Ethernet being plug 'n' play & copper lines and first time dealing with fiber. It's a complete nightmare, especially with those proprietary transceivers. The manufacturer says, "Our transceivers don't work in "unauthorized" gear for your safety," and I'm like, "Bruh, the transceivers have driver chip + op-amp to control the laser(s) 'n' shoot light thru a glass tube. They aren't going to fake a keyboard or mouse and/or infect the equipment machine as they function particular way, that makes such threat impossible."
You can easily reprogram sfp modules with 3rd party tools
Now is when you guys roll out the fibre optics, when i`m 67 and almost dead. I`m never going to see fibre to my wall outlet in the house. LOL.
Haha well all depends on where you are living at? A lot of builds are happening all around the world over the next 5 years
@@fibersplicegod Yeah, its happening sooner than I think. I have AT&T, and they have already sent me nasty letters telling me I would have to get a new carrier for Long distance and regular home phone service, because they are fixing to upgrade with fibre my whole Orange County neighborhood.
@@alcampbellr u dsl ?
@@VideoByPatrick No I dont have internet at home at all, Not DSL not anything. I go to the local library for internet. Its just the home phone I kept going all these years. It costs me $65 just in minimum charges.. AT& T just nickel and dimes me to death, and I don`t use the phone at all.
@alcampbell I should have said do you have old now obsolete copper twisted phone line; for calls and for years was dsl capable. The lead lines were deemed obsolete and dangerous (lead) if consumed.
good ol corning fdh.
Came for the name, stayed for the mpt.
Nice thanks for watching and commenting I really appreciate it
Which ftb module are you using with that ftb-200 OTDR?
Great question 🙌 I have a few modules on it for OTDR I am running the FTb-7300E. Then I have the FTB-3930 fast test as well as power meter, VFL, and multi test.
Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
Is it normal and ok that the back plate flexes when plugging inn and out?
depends and yes, big patch panel will flex like that it won't cause damage to the fiber
Hi, where can i buy an EXFO or VIAVI OTDR?
Depends do you want it refurbished or brand new?
@@fibersplicegod a brand new
Are you using a UPC launch cable against an APC connector in the terminal? Does that increase the launch loss numbers?
It appears to be a launch cable with a UPC on one end and an APC on the other end. Probably because the OTDR has a UPC terminal on it.
I cannot see the panel to flash . You should be pull up to see panel.please..
Expertech???

Hey man slow down with the videos, we can't keep up!
