Fiber Optic Cable drop Install +metal pole attachment
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
short drop to a local church. couldn't finish the drop because the 3/4" mast wouldn't fit the drop with existing lines in place.
will likely be back to finish on the day of the install.

Great job! I truly enjoy watching creative solutions.. That's a professional install that will last.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job with your videos. I admire your skill and obvious experience. Once you got the fiber to the mast on the roof of the church, how did you get it (the new fiber) down to the telcom room?

When the installer tech showed up he pulled out the coax line to fit the fiber. They had multiple phone lines so the copper had to stay.
Great video. Do you ever have issues with your p clamps loosening up? I usually have to tap mine with my side cutters to tighten up the slide.

No with these they’re designed specifically for flat drops. I’ve had it happen once or twice on long spans over 100m. Usually the silver ones people have problems with because they aren’t designed for 1/2F flat drops

@@FyBurz I’ll have to try that. We use the black ones designed for the flat drop. I was taught to tap on them so I guess I never tried not doing it. Thanks

If you don't like working behind you, why not work off the outer side?
Hi what type of fiber optic drop are those? in my country we use a single core with 1mm steel messenger and 2 frp support.. are you using mini fig. 8 armored for the drop cable? sorry for my english not my native language thanks.

@@FyBurz Yea, when I got fiber installed last October, the tech looped it at the house and then rolled the rest up about 40 -50 feet to the pole and he just used tape. After he left I went to both locations and installed 5/16th extra heavy zip ties. I knew the tape idea wouldn't hold as long as I wanted it to.

Never work near hydro like that man I know sometimes we gotta run some sketchy drops but I had a coworker die that’s way last year. Not worth the risk always stay 4ft away

Where am I near hydro? You realize all telecom strand is within reach of hydro. If you’re talking about in the mast. That’s secondary power that’s insulated, and protocol states anchoring 12” below

@@FyBurz it must be different in the states all strands in Canada must be 4ft at the pole from secondary mid spand is a bit different at the house usually we still try and say 4 ft as we had a guy as close as you were to hydro lines to a house that unfortunately the insulation on the lines were deteriorated a slight tough and it killed him

I have many reasons, I explain them in some of my videos. Watch and find out 😅
Last year I ended up working in fiber optic networks construction, mainly because it is difficult to find a job in my country, too much unemployment, and I must confess that I hate it since the first day, not my field of work (computer ing), but there aren't too many options.
