I admire your work on many levels, first of all the decent amount of slack you leave in case of rewiring/modifications, second your cold blood, with all the wire falling, the splicer rotating/bouncing, etc, I would have already sweared so much that the fibers would have fused by soundwave friction 😂

I am enjoying your videos, please keep posting them. I am also enjoying the snappy edits.

Thank you!

I dig you're just doing what is required but this may be the worst way I've seen in 20 years of fiber splicing to install a drop. Design wise. You're doing great.

what country is that?? nice work, that is my job also here in the phillippines and i wish i could go to such a places abroad😊

amazing job, like spiderman..

damn i hope you're getting paid good! alot of work for a drop. with where i work, we just plug into mst's and run the drop to the NID on the house. super efficient and easy

What bag are you using for the midspan when splicing

hey man, great video! how long have you done fusion splicing?

Almost at my year mark for fiber, but 18 years cable/satellite.

Any idea if the fiber you are splicing is live with data? If so there could be some equipment out there that you could place at the end of the cable to test and see if the splice was successful.

This is a complete install, i just wanted to record mainly the splicing in the air. In my other aerial video it shows the whole process even shooting red pen light to the cabinet to plug the real data light in.

Can you explain how the color choice works when you splice/connect a new fiber in a box (green in this video)?

The clear tray I remove has color ranges written on them Blue through Aqua (12 colors) its a scheme that repeats the entire run on that huge main linedown the telephone poles or underground. Sometimes it will start with a different color depending how many houses are planned for that NAP enclosure. Sometimes might only have 4 colors to use, But there is backups in the tray under the top tray. But this was a blue to aqua, im the 3rd tech here so green is next. if you google 12 fiber colors it will show the order.

Where and who do you work for? I am doing fiber and coax for Spectrum. Coax is lame but enjoy everything fiber. Your fiber jobs are fun to watch keep it up!!

Wew man that setup is a pain the butt why does the carrier opted on that setup? is it for compliance or a bad design?

Not sure if its cheaper or what . Some of the areas they bought out do have the plug in MST style that make it nice, but all the new construction areas use these splice in style enclosures.

At 26:26 I can see an optitap fiber terminal that a pre terminated drop would just screw into. Why are you having to fuse your drop into the splice?

Its the other fiber company in town.

You got skill and handle yourself well. But to be honest this looks like the ftth project designer failed you guys in how your hooking up customers. i would never tell technicians/installers to open up domes in the air, on a ladder at that. They have tons of solutions. mst, optifiber, pre-terminated drops, etc. You make it work so kuddos to you my man.

Any level really, just depends how much of your life your gonna put into someone elses company. Im the grunt work, which is lowest paid Im sure. Im paid per job ranging $700-$1500 per week as a contractor . Most of the hire up positions need some basic to complex degrees and usually require more of your time on job. I perfer the lower end of this gig as with any other profession the hire up you go it turns into an adult babysitter job. I knock out my work , hang out with the fam or go onto the side hustles.

whatever you do do not do contractor work and go straight for the ISP. I work for spectrum and in my area you start out at $22/hr (goes to 24.20 after you graduate training). there are 5 field tech levels which is pole to house and you are making around $33/hr at ft5. if you go to maintenance (bucket trucks) once you max out there you are making around $90k/yr. great bennefits as well with all the good stuff and 6% 401k match and they throw an additional 3% into an RAP. Just do NOT be a contractor if you want good money. As a contractor you get paid per job which leads to (in most cases but not all) sloppy work and serious safety violations because you are rushing to make a paycheck.

@@mitchelltaniwha5220 its a whole lot easier to transfer to underground when your entire country is the size of one of our smallest states haha.
