Nice glad to hear this thank you for watching and commenting lots more videos coming out this year so stay tuned going to be some big builds all year long
Great video - I am a Trainer/supervisor, something that has helped many trainee's is to not use a razor blade to cut the strings. I have issued all of my techs a seam ripper (can get them at Walmart in the sewing section) it has reduced the amount of buffer tubes being cut by 80% and they are extremely inexpensive. Keep up the great work enjoyed watching this and have sent it to all of my techs.
Yes for sure seam rippers work great I am just very comfortable with the razor hook blade and allows me to be fast. But I agree 1000% new techs should use a seam stripper for safety purposes when starting out and learning. Thank you for watching and commenting and sharing my videos I really appreciate it
Thanks for watching, I don’t have a video for a stored slack splice location but I have some spare 432f cable around and I will make a video today on how i open and enter a stored slack ribbon cable into a fosc
Love your work! My only critique is the cutting off of the other bond straps. Maybe its a local practice, but in Texas we bond each cable separately as much as possible for locating isolation purposes. Each cable gets it's own bond to the bond bar in the handhole so that locators can just unhook the one they need to locate without getting into the case. Still sometimes we arent able to do it because there may be too many cables in the case and have to group them up. What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you for watching I appreciate you commenting as well🙏 I understand bonding each cable will allow for isolation in case of the need to locate the cables out. For standard practices here in Canada all cables must be grounded to one single bond strap that leads to the one ground on the exterior of the case to the ground bar in the vault. All of our cables we place and splice must be labeled at each duct opening, on the exterior of the case and on the inside of the case to ensure there is no confusion when it comes to tracing cables out. If I ever run into mixed cables I just use my otdr and ruby red to determine the flips or issues in the network then get everything connected properly and prove it through my testing and power meter results
Just heard of your channel and watched a few videos, agree and like a lot of the way you do things but I have to ask why cut the other grounds off instead of leaving them/ unscrewing the nut and taking it out?
great question and honestly because its faster haha i used to unscrew them and take them out but its just faster to cut them out right quick. thanks for watching and commenting i appreciate it
Love your videos man. I need some advice though. I have 864 unitube sst tinted, wondering what you think is the best way to dress them in the basket. Is there a braided mesh to use or a small plexi tube instead? Thanks in advance..
Hey thanks for watching glad you like the videos. great question you can do a few options. Transport tube or snakeskin which is the braided mesh. Personally I would just ring cut the unitube 3 to 4 inches into the basket. Have the fiber run loose around the basket and have it run through transport tube up to tray. All depends on the customers quality control measures and how they would like to see it built.
Yea for sure have tested hundreds of networks with my OTDR I’m in Canada but have been thinking about looking into some projects in the states a lot of big builds going on out there
you have been a ton of help came from 1-2 strand smaller jobs to big commercial stuff and its a big change. So learning as i go.

solid work as always
Nice work , do you have by any chance a video on how to do a mid entry on the ribbon cable ?..

Check out one of my newer videos called ribbon fiber optic cable fosc build. I go into more detail on how Run fiber from basket to tray
Hey God, where you live im in AZ. Do you perform a lot of testing with OTDR? Thank u
Yea for sure have tested hundreds of networks with my OTDR I’m in Canada but have been thinking about looking into some projects in the states a lot of big builds going on out there
God like
yess sirrr
