The LGX Splitter modules come with a custom 1.5m tail - and all tail management flows to the left. Notice the cable management spools on the left side, if accessing the top 144 panel, 2 loops are required. If accesses the bottom 144 panel, the tail will flow to the left and allow 1 loop on the bottom cable management ring, bringing across to access the ports. Any extra splitter tails not used can be plugged in at the bottom dead-end ports.
If I am stripping the tight buffer off and the 250 micron coating goes with it is that okay? When I do my vfl test I see leakage in the tray and am curious if this is causing micro fractures.
It is usually completely fine if the 250um coating comes off with the tight buffer. About how long are the sections of tight buffer you are stripping off at a time? I’d recommend not stripping off much more than a quarter inch, half inch at most as some tight buffer comes off easier than others depending on MFG, age, temperature, and other factors. - Bob Licari
@@FiberExpertsTV Thank you for letting me know! That is good to hear. I am only taking enough tight buffer to cross the other side of the cleaver. I see a little bit of vfl leakage in the tray but the network engineer tested the network today and it worked!
This is a nice information video, providing insights that are important when choosing a fusion splicer. Having used a Fujukuri (sp) 52-12, I too prefer the removable bases, as they make it easier to handle the fiber. We were also able to splice both single and ribbon fibers with this one machine. And, the initial readings were almost always 0.00dB, even when seen with an OTDR.
Hi, i am fiber optic technician from Munich. I really liked the video, I plan to do something like that in the future, to teach others. I started 4 months ago my channel dealing with fiber optic splicing (passive components). I'm still new to RU-vid and I'm watching to learn as much as I can. I hope I can use your video in my playlists. Greetings from Munich
I have SC-SC launch cable, and the cable I will test terminated to a fiber panel with LC adapter. Is it OK to use SC-LC converter connector at one end?
Most mating sleeves or adapters are a straight through connections as in SC-SC, FC-FC, ST-ST, LC-LC or the like. The problem with a LC-SC adapter is that because the SC ferrule is 2.5mm and the LC is a 1.25mm, because of this mismatch they cannot mate straight through. An LC-SC adapter has a small piece of singlemode fiber that goes between the two connectors. This makes for actually two mating's inside the adapter instead of one. So instead of ferrule to ferrule you have LC ferrule to singlemode fiber back to SC ferrule. This is why these adapters are so much more expensive. The result is the attenuation through this mating is higher than typical adapters. One way to bypass this would be to have one of the SC connectors on one end of the launch cable changed out to an LC connector and then you could use a straight through LC-LC adapter with Ceramic split sleeve. I hope this helps. Thanks for the comment and question.
I would be curious to see your data source for the number of fiber techs required for BEAD. The FBA states this: The Fiber Broadband Association projects that 205,000 fiber optic technicians will be required across the nation over the next five years. thanks
My source is a CNBC video and the fact is stated by Michael Bell, Senior VP and General Manager of Corning Optical Communications. here is the link to the video - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4DIKVVY5NbA.html
Well that really depends on the wavelengths that you are testing. If the fiber is singlemode you can expect about 0.3 dB/Km at the 1310 wavelength and 0.2 dB/Km at 1500. If testing multimode the attenuation is 3.0 dB/Km. Thank you for the question and watching our video
I'm wondering about orange underground cable with a ground wire. I can't find a tool that will strip it quickly and efficiently. If you know of a tool or a specific method please share it thank you
Victor, thanks for the question. Can I get a little more information on the cable? Fiber Count? Is it armored? round or flat drop? I want to get you the best tool for the job
im connecting a Nokia 3HE07928AAAA01 MPO QSFP with a Cisco QSFP-40G-SR4 but cant get link light. Is it possible that these need to have the polarity switched on one end? Kind of like switching the pairs on regular fiber(lc).
Good question. MPO polarity can be a nightmare. Is this a 12 fiber MPO? Is this singlemode or multimode fiber? because you are using the SR4 format you will only use fibers 1-4 and 9-12. Polarity can be a pain to work with but first we have to determine fiber type. Usually, singlemode uses the A polarity and multimode the B polarity. This will determine how we set it up. Also be advised that the adapters have to match polarity. Type A (singlemode) uses a Key up to Key down adapter and Type B (multimode) uses the Key up to Key up adapters. Let's figure this out for you. Also programming of the SFP can affect performance. Cisco switches do not use the MSA programming that most others use. So, the SFP could also be at fault.
Sorry for the delay, I did not notice your question. Yes you can splice OM2 to OM3. As the core and cladding sizes are the same this will work for you. Thank you for the question

Thank You So Much for Providing us with this Video. Ive been working with fiber way back when Siecore was the Fiber Optic Co which was Siemens & Corning but Corning bought them out . Im in IBEW Local 26 Teldata side would love to take a refreshing course because there's always something new coming out back then we didn't have smartphones and RU-vid I have The Siecore Book which is too thick now i can have this Video in my Pocket and always reference back This is something Fluke doesn't give its customers. I will be sharing this video with alot of my Technicians and PM friends FIS is the way to go
I am so glad that you liked the video and thank you for the wonderful compliments. I am glad that you can use this video as a tool for others to learn from. You are showing your age by remembering who Siecore was, I that I was the only old guy that remembers that. If I mention that to 95% of our employees, they would be completely lost. God bless you my friend
