in this video i will be going over my techniques for building a 450BS FOSC with a 48F and two multi port terminals. please like and comment and question you may have thanks for watching and subscribing
Hey thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it. Yea with the ribbon splice machines we can set it to any amount of fiber we want up to 12 it defiantly speeds the splicing side of things up haha
Thank you for this great video, interesting to see how advanced tech this stuff and tools are! I've one question, why don't you make another ring cut where you mark the coating at 2:50? Could imagine this makes removing the outer coating easier as it automatically stops there. Guess it would also result in a cleaner ending and you wouldn't have to tape them back together again?
Haha yes I sure did I was waiting for someone to notice and comment 😂 I put a short clip in at the end of the video showing that I put the plugs in haha nice catch tho great eye for attention to detail 🙌 as for metal strength members we only secure them with the strength member brackets and then just bond clamp the metal sheathing in the cable this will ground out the whole cable so you do not have to ground the strength members out. I have a Live fosc I am entering a 288f ribbon with metal strength members today I will make a video on it for you
@@fibersplicegod that would be great, would be cool to see it up close. I only show up when stuff gets cut, so far that part of the cable prep process had been most frustrating, I know I was making it more difficult than it should be.
I can show you a faster way to remove aramid fibers. Grab the bunch with your whole hand and slide it all the way up towards where you opened the cable to.. now you have loose slack there to cut then slide the bunch back and off the end of the cable. 👍
Doesn't work on mid span access as well until you cut the aramid fibers at the middle then you can slide them back on each side, cut again then work off the material carefully .
I do not like those enclosure they are not very practical, right ? :D Anyway, good job mate. Im very proud when somone filming our job, whish you all the best... Keep it up, we are Following and suporting ! :)
If it’s loose tube cable we go straight to tray. If it’s ribbon cable we do slack loop in basket then run up to tray with transport tube. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
Haha yea have a lot of great info in my videos that you won’t find in a uni class. Yes ribbonize bigger cables to push count a lot faster thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
When you marked the 5ft at the beginning and of the video, did you do that because of the size of closure you were working in or because it was a 48 loose tube?
Great question I did it because for any of the commscope foscs when it comes to loose tube cable I only open 5ft because that’s all that is needed to get to tray with one loop in the tray for slack to allow for a splice. If it’s ribbon cable and has to run through the basket then I open up 8ft. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
No worries no questions are dumb when it comes to Fiber if you are not asking questions then you are not learning. The reason we ground these cables is because they have a metal armour coding on the inside so we need to ground them out to ensure there is no unwanted power serges running through the cable via fallen power lines onto the telecom strand. Thanks for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it
Dead count within the cable so this cable was a 48 fiber cable but only 20 fibers are being used out of the 48 that are within the cable and they are not assigned to any count within the network so they are called dead count.
@fibersplicegod oh ok, I got it now, not a splicer myself, but I really enjoy and appreciate those that do work on it. Thanks man, been learning a lot from your videos.
No safety glasses. You're taking a big risk with glass smaller than the diameter of a hair for someone else's profit. Those glasses are worth the discomfort.
