Warm homes here, means home is plug and play with drop being terminated inside already. That’s rough about the builders very unprofessional.

@@FyBurz also very unnecessary..what gain comes from clogging conduits? I think some people just have some natural stupidity that you can almost do nothing about

No problem! Thanks for watching. I have more coming 👍🏼

Glad you liked the videos. I have more coming. And I can do one on ladder techniques and tips. I was a roofer for 7 years and that’s what helped me hit the ground running in this field. If you have any questions feel free to let me know!

You get the job ?

@@FyBurz sadly not. They had hired someone else with a lot more experience instead. Just about everywhere I put in at tells the same thing lol, can't catch a break 😂

@@suprarose1584 ah rough. Keep at it. What area are you in ?

@@FyBurz Indiana, it's been an adventure for sure doing interviews and such. Just don't know why no one will take me, I've applied to just about every internet/fiber company in the area lmao

Yeah haha the clamps do all the work. And thanks much appreciated!

Thanks

It’s semi common here. Most new construction, has telecom mast along with hydro. But the. I also see new construction where the telecom path was fully overlooked. And they don’t even have data cables anywhere in the new homes. It’s a joke.

You mean copper plants compared to fiber ?

Only thing is the Fibre will get to 2.5gbps then 10gbps, maybe even 100 for a block of residences, and it's unlikely to need much alteration to get to that point.

@@leonblittle226 my isp can already pump out 2.5gbps to businesses 1.5 to consumers. And they can handle 10gbps but I don’t think it’s cost effective yet.

its not hard to maintain at all, been doing FTTH for 12 years now, it's easier than cable, don't have to worry about noise from the Neiborhood, causing a repeats cause the techs don't know how to use their meters

Hey, Thanks for watching! Honestly not sure what you mean by PF,PR and BsWs I’m not familiar with those terms. And where do you work?

@@FyBurz PF: Pole Front, PR: Pole Rear, and BSW: Burried Service Wire. I'm in Ontario.

@@nolanohearne7038 ah gotcha, I’m from Brampton but live and work in BC now. Yeah we deal with a mix here too. But all the aerial stuff follows pretty strict guidelines and protocol. Which I try to show in my videos.

Very common here!

Yea it’s a good gig. Thanks for watching man

I do both of those as well. But this is my main work. They all have their merits

@FyBurz yeah they do but I been hating structure cabling lately. Getting old

@@armandosoria7993 definitely tedious

Thanks!

Bc Canada 👍🏼

This is a Sala Exofit harness with D rings on the belt. The padded belt is key for comfort and for utility in my setup. I use toughbuilt pouches that I clip right onto my harness. And the lanyard I use to hook on is just a 4’ Lanyard with locking Carabiners on either end. One of them being the large hook to fit on the strand. I could make a video about it if you’re interested. Thanks for watching and your comment👍🏼

@@FyBurz Thanks!

Dude I would love a video on it! That would be great.

Depends on the workload and difficulty of jobs, but I’ve averaged 4-6 a day.

When I used the bucket truck I can 2x that 😅

These are exactly the same. For anything over 100m I use a coil reel. So I place it inside and it pretty much makes the coil into a spool.

I am not, I would if required 👍🏼 thanks for watching.

Edit: this is hard to explain. Watch some more of my videos i’m sure you’ll see the solution. If it’s a similar clamp to the ones I use in this video. You have to hold the loop end or push it against something so that the force goes towards the tension or the slacking wire. While doing that hold the bottom piece of the wedge. Push them together. I’m realizing this is hard to explain I wish I had one with me to show you a video. And I’m on a trip unfortunately. But the main thing is you’re trying to loosen the bottom piece of the wedge clamp that will free the cable a bit. Then making sure it doesn’t fall apart you pull the slack towards the loop end. When you tighten it enough let the wedge go and it’ll grab the drop.

I work safe! don't worry. there are different practices all over. I have over a decade of ladder experience.

I have the same question how this guy so confident to this ladder without putting hooks to strand by the way nice job

I explain why I do that in a couple different videos. But thanks 😅

The black wedge clamps ? I’m not sure of their exact name. We called them Freddy Fingers 😂 But I think they’re called flat drop wedge clamps.

@@FyBurzP ties. Flat drop clamp

Hi thanks! I do not normally test because its not required for our contract their are certain projects where the drop techs confirm light but this isn’t one of them. But I will if I’m doing the install myself.

@@FyBurz nice, what happens if the tech who turns up to do the internal work has no light on the cable? Does he have to call you back out. We have issues sometimes with dead ports on the MST.

@@Josh__Stevens so if the drop it’s self is broken thats one thing. But I don’t plug drops into dead ports willingly. If it has to go to a dead port then I call in a capacity add for cable repair to splice in the port. But it’ll usually just run it to another mpt with live ports. It’s situational, sometimes they want us to park it above the mpt. while the cap add is being done. And If it’s in a “live port” but they get no light the drop will sometimes come back to me to replace but it could also go to cable repair. I’ve also had techs call me because they can’t get light but when I show up I magically can get light so 🤷🏻‍♂️😅

@@FyBurz ahhh ok, I see. Do you get many call backs then for faulty cables/optitaps (that's what we call the pre terminated end)? Nice to see you're doing a mix of aerial and underground as well, good to keep it varied. I'm hoping we're going to change cable soon, we currently use some crappy commscope hybrid drop wire which has a copper pair as well. It's not nice to work with as it twists constantly. That flat stuff you use looks so much better. Currently binge watching your videos! They're great!

@@Josh__Stevens nah maybe 2 in the last 3 year. and yeah their optitap here too. Expect for some areas that have afl not Corning. I heard those hybrid cables are annoying 😅

No. The network is already tested up to that point. I do confirm whether the port is live or not before running my drop

So yes then? In order to test if it’s live you have to test for light 😂

@@OhItsJake I work off the count on the fibre. Although it isn’t always accurate. And if it’s dead but we need it. I request a capacity add to the mpt

its comparable, and it does if you're not careful, experience helps haha

I’m an immigrant 😅

@@FyBurz ai sim! só falta falar que é do Brasil.

@@a3netfibra I’m from Argentina but I’m in a citizen in Canada now.

@@FyBurz HERMANO, muito massa o trabalho ai!

Could you reference where exactly in the video?

@FyBurz like 5:47 after you attached to the MST, you zip tied. I was just asking

@@blackunicorn4996 ah yeah, no issue at all. This is standard protocol and the zips are just to groom the lines and keep them neat. They don’t affect service in any way. The flat drops are very rigid on the exterior.

@@FyBurz just thought I'll ask, I'm starting my fiber technician job at metronet straight out of school

@@blackunicorn4996 sweet man! Good luck 🤞🏼 can hopefully learn a lot on my channel at least OSP stuff

I'm self employed so not much haha

I do everything as well, just not for this specific contract

I leave a lil splice kit for the customer 😅

это должен сделать/проверить специалист по установке. для этого приложения мы делаем механические концы, которые не требуют сварки.

@@FyBurz специалист по установке должен выявлять неисправности последней мили?! Вдруг брак в самом кабеле или в коннекторе/соединителе... Даже если был произведен входной контроль кабеля, в месте коммутации могла закрасться "неприятность".

@@andreyberdnikov540 это всего лишь часть нашего протокола, некоторые проекты потребуют от нас подтверждения света в доме. но когда появляется технический специалист, они должны поставить механический конец на волокно и снять рубин (VFL) до падения на FDH и подключить его к нужному сервисному порту. во время этого процесса они подтверждают пересечение линий и уровни освещенности.

@@andreyberdnikov540 извините, мои переводы не самые лучшие. но, чтобы ответить на ваш вопрос, да, установщик подтверждает уровни освещенности и целостность линии.

@@FyBurz если так заложено по протоколу, то тогда все отлично!)

What do you mean?

@@FyBurz cable gland on a metal hole to prevent any damage to the cable.

@@Zeamus634 do you mean through the knockout at the panel inside ? If so you’re technically right. But that is something seldom done. This was a weird install. Not something I normally carry especially not a 2” strain relief or whatever size it was. The drop is secured both inside and outside the panel it won’t be moving at all ever. So chances are of damage is very low.

@@FyBurz it's just good practice, a rubber grommet would work just as well, but I would've drilled a separate smaller hole either way 👍

It’s standard practice to keep your hooks a few feet above strand, I usually make sure the ladder can’t move to the side by using either existing clamps 🗜️/ hardware on strand or by adding some to hold it while I work. If I’m working on a midspan I usually will place the hooks right on the strand, but when near a pole or mpt they just get in the way 😅

Also even if you were to slide sideways that’s when the hooks come into contact with the stand and prevent you from falling/sliding too far 😬

@@FyBurz I do coax work most of the trands are always drooping or swing to low on one side barely ever a straight strand for my ladder to sit on even or just a akward mess to even try and not use my hooks

Also I don't know if your hooks do but mine I can push them in and spin them around so they aren't in the way

@@xLEGNx yeah makes sense, gotta hate those droopy strands. That’s when I use the bucket truck 😅

🤷🏻‍♂️ you’re not wrong. But it’s just the way we do things here. I try my best to put my hardware in a way that doesn’t directly affect the lasher.

Depends on the area. A lot of Bc Canada is overhead/aerial due to terrain. But actually where this video was taken this is one of the few streets in town that is aerial the rest is underground.

@@FyBurz ohh okay gotcha! Yeah was kind of odd to me to still see this. We don't have such things in Denmark were I'm from. Everything is also underground. Mainly due to the country being so small and easier to do. Nice job btw!

@@assistofficial9814 yeah makes sense. Both have their advantages. We have a lot of issues here in the winter with underground work. Lots of snow/ frozen conduits and such.

You have fiber? What the heck?

@@JoJoGaminG36 ?

I’m Canadian, our strands are solid, and shared with other utilities, I usually put my ladder on the strand over the pole due to ease of access and stability. Even with a pole strap there’s more over a rollover risk. And I’ll take the drop off the pole when in need of clearance or on a private pole. Also it leaves the city poles easy to replace instead of having to deal with 10 drops on a J hook.

re: zip ties I probably should, but it’s not in our protocol and just another tool I need to carry. I usually flush cut internal networking cables and the ones on the strand are constantly being replaced. Flush cut is usually for permanent zip ties.

@@FyBurz You can flush cut the zip ties with your normal side cutters. Hard to explain over text without showing you, but if you put the cutters diagonally over the square part and the bit you want to cut off, the side cutters slide over the square bit taking the offcut off nicely. If that makes ANY sense haha. Cant find any videos/images of what im talking about online so maybe not many people know about this trick idk

I do sometimes

While I agree those are all safe practices. And I may do things that seem unsafe from this perspective, I follow the safety guidelines that are required by my contract, I get audited often and always pass. I’ve been working with ladders for over a decade. I’m very comfortable on them and I trust my equipment to do what it’s there for. I appreciate the comment and always recommend people who don’t have much experience or confidence on a ladder so everything they can to prevent a fall. I work with fall arrest gear not prevention, unless I’m climbing where I cannot fall with it on.

@@FyBurz i see, like i said, as long you're not exposing yourself to the eyes of your employer and also being as safe as you can be...

@@embrj1453 one can always be safer. But life isn’t perfect. You have to balance safety and efficiency. There are many ways to work quickly while maintaining safe protocol.

@@FyBurz Completely agree.

@@FyBurz i get it do this long enough and the ladder work is like walking

@@pondwaterjr I do use my harness I just don’t strap myself to the pole or strand as if the floor will fall out underneath me

@@FyBurz so not useing the harness, just be carefull man, you never know if they want a reason to fire you

I’m not complaining 😅
