This house was infested with a colony of brown recluses. Worst than I've ever seen. Cramped attic. About 10 glue traps full of brown recluses. 4 brown recluses I saw crawling around me. I notified customer. Hopefully no bites in my clothes on the way home

FTTH ped. Someone broke multiple ringcut/midspan fibers. This is the shortest splice I’ve done and I think this is my best splice in this machine.I recommend securing the fibers in these trays that are continuing down the line.The fibers fall out easily

Repairing inactive fibers in an active patch panel including active 10G to 100G backbone links and verifying with OTDR. No outage and no customers affected. The patch panel was done by previous techs and no I didn’t route those jumpers.

I found it! The armor cut the fiber. Somehow the whole brown tube is good. A few in brown had a few bad bend radiuses on OTDR. Always be careful when prepping at entry point.

Although it’s about a 15 year old 2 ct OSP cable, these bends were 100% 10 dB attenuation. Causing node to intermittently go offline due to the light dropping below spec threshold.

Old copper farts have no respect for fiber. I’m getting more fibers to nodes for node segments. Here’s before and after pictures. Those bad bends are 5-10 dB loss.

New 144 done but while we were working on it we got some preventative maintenance done on old active fibers. We’re not allowed to gaff. Here’s before and after of the hard to reach splice. Multiple spots unkinked. Water proofed.

I know a lot of y’all have dealt with worse trays but this is one of our worst trays in our plant. Documenting this was scary. I dread going to this splice point. Even the aerial tail was hideous. I made it pretty.

Before and after. This bend radius was like this for years for a node. I guess the fiber splicer back then didn’t have glue or silicone to secure splice.

Craziest enclosure location in our plant. It was a gun shot damage in early 2000. It was damaged again around 2016 because someone decided to cut it near enclosure. We are here to just splice the rest.
