In the late 90s I was setting up a router in a basement in Kowloon and it started raining and there was a flat waterfall of water flowing out of the bottom of a Hutchinson telecom rack.

A fantastic job. I'd be slightly worried about what seems to be a lack of monitoring of the cover itself for unauthorised access to such a mass of live traffic or flooding of the chamber itself.

Hello, thanks for your comment! Manhole covers are being replaced with locking security bolts through an ongoing maintenance program as we speak.

Must be nice to work in super clean, dry,empty manholes ! Some of ours in the UK are 100 years old ! With anything from lead/hessian, paper insulated cables to PE cables to fibre ( both solid & blown fibre tubing ) and anything from water to sewerage in them ( yes I have seen it ! ), rats, gas & mud…happy times….

@@twdxinfrastructure even so. I have a patented passive intrusion etc. sensor that works over fiber on 1625nm. You just need a head end OTDR. The sensor is vendor agnostic. Might be of interest for your more sensitive access points.

use water flow to flush fishtape down the conduit. use fishtape to pull fibre optic cable though. install sealing plate and terminate fibre cable.

The cost of doing 10 tubes is mostly the same as doing one. Usually, what costs more is the land through where the tubes go than the tubes themselves. As so, they pass as much tubes as they can so that it becomes future proof.
@Whatsinanameanyway133 ай бұрын
@@ClaymorePT Similarly, within a building anyway, the cost of running 2 strands for a single device somewhere is about the same as running a 12 strand. Termination costs aside, the benefits of having spares available when future needs arise far outweigh the small cost increase in the short term. I imagine this really makes sense when you're dealing with digging up roads, tunneling under railways, etc. as these are very labor intensive (read expensive) operations.
