I sure wish I had someone to run my drops for me . Been installing fiber in a forest for the last few months replacing the old dsl network . Drops range from 500ft - 1500ft . It has been a workout to say the least !!!! Keep up the good work , I know it ain’t easy !!!!
Quick question, why did you put the hooks of the ladder past the strand before and not in this video? I normally do “main” fibers not drops but like different opinions and open to better options
And I feel you on drops on the front side of strand…. Makes us linemen contractors go crazy. All drops should be pulled in brought behind the strand and stay behind strand
I’ve answered this a couple times in some videos. I do it for a couple reasons. Mainly cuz they get in the way of the drop routing. Doesn’t compromise my safety at all. More often than not I’ll put hooks on strand on the midspan.
when im using corning fiber drop and these damn drop suck. You have to peel back very small amounts at a time. Otherwise it would break the fiber. And dont get me started in the winter time
I'm always surprised how far the fiber will run and still be self supporting. What is the distance limit when you'll need to add something to support it?
Technically manufacturer spec is 65m. I’ve ran 90-110m over Farmland/private poles. (Customer taking liability) It gets real heavy at those lengths and need a Chicago grip to properly tension them.
I know exactly what happened with that copper drop, buddy put the clamp on and noticed he had to much slack and couldnt get it off so he said f*ck it and left it lol :D Ngl, no way i would of climbed that first pole like that, super sketchy. Why cut the 2nd fiber? Wouldn't it make more sense to leave it incase they want another service in the future? For a future install they'll have to pull the first service out to splice :(
How far above the outlet on the wall does the box have to be mounted so there is clearance for when the other fiber comes into the right side hole in the bottom of the NIB?
Honestly no idea, never been an issue. And more than likely the clearcurve comes out of the same side as the drop, down along it and brought over to the right.

Yeah haha, I honestly don’t find them too bad. Sometimes a bad batch. Over all I love Corning over AFL

@@DdosedRS it was a fibre drop not copper 😅, and it was totally fine. 3/10 on the sketchy meter 😂
@@FyBurz oof.

Check discord, I’m posting a pic 👍🏼
Been a while since you did some splices, two in a row!
@@btschmieds I’ve actually busted that thing out like 5 times in the last 2 weeks 😅

Ah here we usually referred to as MER (main electrical room) good to know tho.

Just my 2 cents. Reminder to tie your ladder off.
Definitely good advice. Although tying off a ladder rarely does anything to prevent a fall. Usually tie off in windy conditions or wet
i asked for more splices and bro answered 🥲 awesome vid bro! keep them coming
@@wolfganghector thanks brother 🤙🏼 why 🥲 😅
