Do You Have Anything Cheaper?

New friend helping me run fiber. He flew in while I was labeling jumpers and documenting.

My first 12 splices vs now 48 splices. In a similar tray.

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.

Unifi network stack (Old USG-Pro-4)

My first splice full of ice repair. Old unknown splice. We just cut it and started over.

Truck hit our pole next to CO/HE. 38 hour shift 23-25Dec2020. ~15k customers out. Fiber damaged: (2) 288s, 96, 64. 4 splice points.

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.

It’s not a 3456, but I’m proud of it. 108 spliced.

APC to UPC illustration. My OTDR shows this to be about 10 dB loss and -20 reflectance.

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.

First time running cable.

Thousands of customers coming through enclosure. Had to replace due to rust and damage.

Visual comparison of a 0.3 loss vs good splice according to OTDR. Both are ribbon splices.

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.

GPON hub site in Upstate New York. Can feed about 3k homes.

New Clearfield CO/HE patch panel product straight out of box. I strengthened kinks. OTDR showed no damage or excess loss.

My home network diagram. It's a work in progress... :)

FOSC A/B tray being courteous of the next person. 48 glued and ribbon spiced.

Replaced damaged vault and enclosure without causing outages. All tube kinks gone and secured. Tube kinks at butt and about 2 feet from enclosure.

Almost fiber damage

A very merry infrastructure Christmas.

Can someone explain what splicing mechanic was done in this OTDR? It’s some type of splitter splicing.
