Your application and expertise in this matter were professional, thorough, and educational, JOB WELL DONE. I showed my technicians who are starting to run aerial drops now as we mostly doe underground, HH/MH from splice closures the ease of installations this process makes and Major don'ts with regards to OSHA and electrical code standards that they're now training for. Thank you! The only thing I'd have to say is we run 2 techs at a job site like this when the height of ladder is extended past 20ft or more on poles.

hey, question for you, your Blue SST striper tool the way you are using it is backwards? or have i been using mine wrong all these years XD

@FyBurz

Жыл бұрын

So I get this a lot from other techs. I don’t use it backwards. I initially push the drop through the right way then I pull back to complete the strip. So I start at the cutoff end of the drop then push until I need to and then back. I’ve found this to be the most successful way to strip the flat drop and I can get about 30 strips in maybe more before have to to switch the blades around. Lots of other guys I know will start with the strippers down the drop where they want to finish and pull out towards the cutoff. Or strip down then take it off and do it again. All of which is slow and inefficient.

Make sure that your splicer is dry depending on your area. Splicers do not like being wet at all and that you have profiles set on your splicer for both climate, humidity, and season! 2nd tip leave enough service loop and slack like this pro! He did a wonderful job verbally communicating the ugliness of what improper installation and non-code/ regulations are while showing how it's done. 3rd document everything. The biggest issue out in the field are techs that would brush off unsafe, or improper installs or code violations and leaving it for the next guy! Safety is a big priority! If you feel unsafe do not risk it. Fail the job if need be and report it to your direct superior to get it addressed immediately.

@Trigeria

Жыл бұрын

There are varies different tipes of taps, MST, or HMFOC, Splice Closures, that being said try to familiarize yourself with what you'll be working with MPT/MST are the more simpler application as they reduce the amount of splicing needed for install but as you saw if done improperly it could end up being messy if done improper. It's also a good key note that to think just enough is never enough. ie, if you need a foot give yourself 3-5ft or more for safe measure depending on your application. The other thing to note is if you're using a pedestal or handhole/manhole application that the NID or demarcation box won't always be in the same location where other media closures are. I didn't see a patch cable run to the interior but depending on the type of cable used majority SC/APC OS2 or if they outfit pigtail to pigtail connections to a wall plate/coupler fashion or a direct hole with a bunge that taking the necessary "TIME" to ensure your install is clean is something that you must give yourself.

The drop is flat but the end looks like the stripped fiber and it has a green sc/apc connector on it.
