One thing we always did when pulling into a building like you guys did. We would pull not only the fiber but an additional mule tape so the next time we or another crew had to use that conduit there would be a pull tape ready. Love your work. P.S. One of my first jobs was pulling an 18,000 ft fiber with no splices. We could do about 4,000 ft at a time, but would have to figure eight the rest. Obviously worked from the center to each end.
You’re not really supposed to pull additional cables into a conduit with existing cables. It can wear through the jacket. That’s why there are systems with micro ducts that split a single conduit into multiple small conduits.
Curious why there's also a blue conduit in most of these installs. Does that indicate something like "this is the spare conduit" or something? Enjoy your videos. They've answered a lot of questions I've had about directional drilling.
You can theoretically do unlimited amount of traffic over a single fiber. It’s the devices on each end of it that dictate the speed. The building seems to be running its own equipment, so most likely there is a connection from the buildings switch to every unit. So there’s only 1 device connected to the actual fiber

@@carmp3fan We pulled that where the customer approved. We used a product called Maxcell - very easy to pull cable through - but very expensive.
Nice details about the other part of your job. Thanks
Thanks for watching!

Great job
No gravel under the hand hole you set?
We put it in them.
The couplings are just push fit? No glue? Awesome work, bro! 🤠
Yes they are slip couplers.
@@lifeasweknowit5280 One "TIP" for you..........clean the mud off the pipe with a wet rag and a pail of water BEFORE pushing on the coupling
Nice work! Hope they fire that IT company though - that standing rack is a hot mess!

that one fiber is good for all those units? how many units can a fiber cable serve?

@@ZippyDooDa435 wow i didnt know that 1 fiber could handle all those units. even with higher speed clients like 5 and 8 gig?
@@duderino743 Data centers run 400gig over a single pair these days. Otherwise you'll frequently see 96 fibers in one 'cable' in other situations.
first view and comment!~ let's go!
Thank you thank you
