Bro your channel is awesome, just add any content. In my viewer experience, 50% of what makes a channel great is the personality and presentation style of the host. You could probably post great cooking videos. Which is not to say that we do not want more of your professional videos. But if you post some additional content, that is not strictly speaking "wiring related" just go for it. Just don't get lost in that side content.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

That's good to hear and better understand. Thanks for the input!

[@thtadthtshldntbe]

One more thing. You do this sometimes, but maybe always do it, like in your hosting segment where you explain stuff. If you had to pass some sort of county or State inspection for the work and or had to be compliant with some particular code or internal standardization, can you mention it.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Interesting thought. I've actually never done any work that required inspection of any kind. It's part of the problem if you ask me. There's just no rules to network cabling outside of a data center. That's why I am constantly encountering horrible networks that are actually working for the most part just fine. This gives me some food for thought for an upcoming segment though...

[@sundberg84]

Could not agree more. Just found your channel. Keep it up. Great content and videos like this are just as interesting. Cant wait for more...

[@jordanleenoche5043]

I agree 100% most of the channels I subscribe too is because of the presenter

[@paaksolutions8283]

Dear FiberNinja, do you have a video where you show how you keep everything organized? before job, during transport, at the job, after the job?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

No... And for good reason: I'm terrible at it! Mind you, I've been slowly working on the issue for a few years now and have made SOME progress in that regard, but I don't think I'm much of a role model there. I'm going to be taking about that subject somewhat when I do my truck and toolbag tour but you've given me some good food for thought!

[@paaksolutions8283]

I understand. It's that way for most installers. There is a fine line between organisation and time saving. Most of us do work pretty efficiently in an organized mess. But then there are the times, where is that tool and that other tool when you need it. After working on it for years, I have found that for me following strategy works fastest: Organize workshop weekly (I have a buffer zone for unorganized stuff between jobs), pack the car neatly, work at client quickly (time is money) and pack up leave quickly (less tidy than at arrival). Then go back to workshop. Leave everything in buffer zone, organize again weekly. For me, this has worked just fine. Organizing at a job site is not recommended for us since the client pays us to work and not spend time organizing our own stuff. So does anyone have a tip on how to make this process faster? Just to clarify, we work 12 to 16 hours a day. Upon coming back to the workshop, there is no time nor energy to start organizing. So organizing every day is impossible. Yes everything is labeled and it comes in boxes, but trust me, it gets mixed up anyway.

[@VictorGarciaR]

Do not be afraid of posting videos that are not 100% related to wiring ethernet. Some patreon acounts are revenue per video, but yours is revenue per month. Post as many videos as you want, Off-topic, tool reviews, funny stuff that happened while working... experiment and take a look at the comments to see the ammount of support of those videos.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Definitely a smart way to proceed with this. Thx!!

[@England91]

Victor García totally agree mixing up your content every now and then helps the channel and/or you to not stagnant

[@imjustabill247]

Agreed. You are a problem solver and it's fun to watch.

[@soren9896]

Ninja, nice temporary solution. As one who installed overhead doors. I would suggest picking up some neodymium bar magnets usually come in packs of 6 for $10 with 3M epoxy adhesive pads for easy mounting low enough profile to prevent any kind of door jamming. But strong enough for the proximity sensor to detect them and looks way cleaner. We usually chuck the round magnets they are kind of wrong for this type of application. But thats just my opinion.

[@fixedwheel]

WIth the mounting tape on the battery charger, double layer the one on the recessed part, to bring it up to match the the outer bits. Just have to be super careful layering, as it only gives you one shot!

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Great idea! Thx.

[@PWingert1966]

I do a lot of residential installs and the latex paint tend to peel off behind the tape so I end up having to remove the paint to get to a solid surface. I usually screw mount anyhting hanging upside down sicne I find in general nothing stays attached when there is paint between you and the gyprock.

[@AsadAli-lz1mm]

As an semi-pro installer, your videos have helped me out on a number of occasions. Love watching your videos from London, UK. Hook me up if your in town!!!!

[@aaa000777]

I think I would have used a pop rivet to hold the magnet bracket to the door. The benefit is that you can do all of the work from one side.

[@flightmansam]

I'd love to be your apprentice! I love this kind of work.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Well you've got the next best thing with this channel! It's probably the best I can do for now... Thanks!!

[@AnthonyQuinnJr]

Everyone in my office hates that I KEEP EVERYTHING, but I have my laughs when I have exactly what they need. Another great video buddy. Take care.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I can't tell you how many times saving things has saved me or the customer. These days, it would nearly happen daily! When I was working for Verizon I not only refused to throw away excess material, I demanded a storage area and started an inventory on-site. Soon other offices in the area were stopping by to puck up a part here or there when the need was urgent. LOL

[@AnthonyQuinnJr]

FiberNinja Well, brilliance loves company 😊. I converted an old file cabinet to a parts depot.

[@davidhoward2237]

you know ur a nerd when your happy you get tape. you can never have enough tape of differnt kinds

[@nerwin]

You're not kidding about being fabricators! One time I was mounting an AP on the ceiling which had popcorn ceiling and because of the popcorn, the mounting bracket didn't sit flush properly so the AP woulden't lock in. So I used a piece of cardboard behind the mounting bracket and vala! The AP locked into the bracket perfect. I'd love to do what you do, I as well love the solving mysteries aspect. It always feels great when you solve one!

[@Dog1eg]

Top job! Well done for all the Patreon subs. Keep the videos coming. It's you we watch them for.

[@stuartwhittaker1105]

maybe you could of used pop rivets. also not going to come loose over time and harder to tamper with.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Correct!

[@datguydim]

Yo man, keep up the good work! Your videos are excellent! Monetize the hell out of this man, don't feel bad. Your videos are great for anyone wanting to get into the networking business.

[@pdxDavid]

Would like to hear your take on cable labeling in a datacenter. Do you prefer every cable gets a different number (same on both ends), or some kind of naming convention? Also, would love to get videos on cable dressing in racks to servers/switches/patch panels etc. Great videos.

[@WhitentonMike]

Go back to his previous videos. He has talked about cable dressing and the use of keystone panels. I'm planning to show my boss how it's done without breaking the bank. The company that wired the building did 192 jack set of cat5e patch panels with cat6 cable and it is a mess. No service loop at the rack end. No cable combing. No cable management. Inspired by FiberNinga, I'm going to switch the panels to all keystones. I'm going to terminate 48 at a time with rj45 feed through connectors and route them to the rear of the rack plugged into pass through keystone panels. The cables are too short to run them directly to the front of the rack. I'll then patch the rear jacks to the back of the front panels using trunk cables. Trunk cables in this context are between 6 and 12 network patch cables bundled together in expandable sleeving and heat shrink. Google APC network trunk cables. I'm just going to take regular patch cables and sleeve and heat shrink them my self. I'm also on the front of the rack going to alternate between panels and switches so the patch cables will all be 6" and color-coded with the keystones by department.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I am definitely not the person to ask for thoughts on data centers. I've never worked in one, and have nothing but experience in what I would call the opposite of a data center. I'll phrase it this way: In a data center, the network essentially is the product. In a small business, the network is just another part of their overhead -an expense that is necessary to make their product sell. Because of that, what the customer is willing to spend on their network is drastically different. In most cases, the network is an afterthought. It usually wasn't even thought of when the building was designed and now I have to come in and work around things that the electrician and plumber never do. That's the reality of my world. Very different from a data center.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Mike, this sounds very interesting! I'd like to know if you can document this process or at least a before and after. PM me if you can. Go to my About page and there's a icon for sending me a PM there. Let's talk some time!

[@WhitentonMike]

I will document things for sure. I have no timeframe for the project as I am on retainer with limited hours. The thing that alarmed me was the ISP was unable get 50Mb/s through the cat5e patch panel on 2 pair and could not successfully repunch the cat6 cable on to the cat5e panel. Not sure yet about the actual in-office keystones. Currently, I am in the process of replacing 4 questionable 48port switches. It's beginning to look like the flakey switches may not be the problem. It may just be the patch panel punch downs are not reliable. BTW, have you seen the 1U 48 port keystone blank panels at fs dot com for $11? I'm going to need 9 or 10 of them.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I did not see that patch panel before. I actually didn't think it would be possible. Boy that looks tight to work with. I think I'm going to have to get some of these and see how they are. Thanks for that tip! Man, this would basically mean I wouldn't necessarily need to split a 48-port switch with panels above and below. Hmm... I wonder how that will look and how easy it would be to work with... Looks like a new project for me!

[@Duquette_Racing]

Hey Fiberninja, so I basically pulled all nighter and watch... well almost every video you have, yes even the 2 hour job. I'm no IT guy but it deffinently sheds some light on work I may have to do someday. I would love to see a well rounded explanation on networking. Say for a network with under 20 LAN drops and maybe some wifi? Assume someone already has a modem from the cable company and go from there. Maybe not the million dollar build but options to go decent equipment all the way up to extream. I wish you the best on getting back on your feet after everything that happen (no pun intended)!!!! Keep up the great content

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Thanks for losing sleep for the channel!! I hadn't thought about it but yeah, I probably have enough content to keep you up all night. Great suggestion for a basic network setup. I think it does deserve some video time because I have some strong opinions on the matter and they spread from home to business real fast! Thanks again and stay tuned!

[@zapy-85]

As usual, love your videos! as a security installer this is a tip: www.amazon.com/SM-226L-3Q-Seco-Larm-Overhead-Magnetic-Applications/dp/B005H3GCW0/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1524594233&sr=1-7 you mount it on the floor and the second part on the door, we use these or similar ones everywhere, what you should take in to consideration with that magnet is that it will gradually be getting weaker as its all metall around it, thats why in the security world we use aluminium housings or plastic housings. :) keep it up!

[@MrFloris]

yay, more videos :) Have fun editing :)

[@Imroytc]

Came across this channel about a week ago and subscribed after watching two videos. You are very interesting to watch and I love your work ethic. This was a simple install not sure if I would have come up with something different or not but I LOVE watching how other people do things because just because you might have done something different it leaves that idea in the back of your mind and it might be exactly what saves your butt on another project. Keep up the excellent work you are an inspiration to me and I am sure to many others. Subscriber for life.

[@l4af2f]

Do you think you went overkill on the extreme tape to hold up the batteries on the wall? One small square in the corners would be enough yes? Also, I foresee a patch issue in the future when you try removing the tape. I prefer Command removable picture hangar glue solutions. They are easy to remove and hardly damage the wall. images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/81OS8JFA6EL._SL1500_.jpg

[@syntaxerorr]

Reams guy for using tape. Uses tape.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

LOL now that was a completely different situation!! Man, I had to think for a minute there what you were talking about...

[@paaksolutions8283]

never throw anything away. so true!

[@andljoy]

That is so true . I have a box of random fixings and they are so handy for stuff :).

[@AttilaSVK]

@8:15 - You dropped a bomb on me by Gap Band :) By the way, there's a good Hungarian word for what you do: ezermester (pronouced eh-zer-mesh-ter, all with Es like in bed), which consists of two words: ezer, which in English is thousand, and mester, which is master, or in this case more like craftsman. It's usually used for people who are very versatile (and good) craftsmen.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Well I'm flattered! We Americans use the term "jack-of-all-trades" ...and then thrown in "master-of-none" as a kicker!

[@z_polarcat]

FiberNinja I prefer "Jack of all trades, master of many"

[@xblinkusedfinchx]

I immediately thought using a rivet gun would be easy to drill a hole and tape the magnet and hold down. Then rivet from the outside.

[@rrrohan2288]

i hope FN starts posting more. id hook that man up so hard if i was rich. guess thats why some are rich, they dont want to spend anything and treat it like a high score in a game.

[@viesturssilins858]

You are one of those extremely likable personalities. Glade to have found your channel.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Thank you for saying that. I have to admit, sometimes I watch my own videos and just wonder why anyone watches them! I'm so critical of myself, my look, my manner of speaking, my facial expression, etc. I'm still shocked at the numbers of subscribers I have but I think I'm starting to understand the appeal. Thanks again for your kind words!!

[@bachterman]

hey, i have the same really slick screensaver (helios)!

[@fmslickful]

Loving the life style is one thing but when you have have a family to support, don't do anything for cheap or should I say under payed. One thing I was told a long time is only work for what you thing you're worth. Nothing less.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I'm glad you spoke up and I couldn't agree with you more! I was hoping to get some talk as a result of my little speech at the end. Hell, even I don't agree with all I said a year back when I recorded it! But I figured it would at least get some of us to talk about it so there you go!

[@jimsbagels1991]

I had a question for you. do you like edam cheese? I have 200lb surplus I can send you way for free

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I think I like that type of cheese. I can't imagine what I'd do with 200 lbs of it though! Probably just get constipation or something... But thanks!

[@InconsistentManner]

you almost don't look the same with and without the beard.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Yeah, when I shave it off I have to do a second take in the mirror for a few days!

[@lcl564]

FiberNinja wow I did not know that. By the way, your videos are so awesome

[@norwegianstud]

2:37 LOL! I see myself in the mirror whenever you refer to schmucks and show what they`ve done wrong and how it went. I have a nice one for you here. I belive it really will set those little gray cells in work if you take the time to read this, and that`s what network-technicias need, all the time to stay in shape for rearranging those imperfect networks! I`ve repeated myself maybe once or twice here, just so you could keep in track. Ok, so I agree on that one should try to eliminate as much as possible of the "everlasting stackup" of new equipment as the network expands and also should try to have as many "clean runs" as possible. I needed to expand on 2nd floor and had no other choice than putting an extra switch under the sofa(evendough there is a second switch behind the TV on the other side of the livingroom). This since I dont have the time to put cables in walls now and do not want cables running by the floor. Therefore I bought an outlet with two RJ-45 connectors. The 1st has to be used for the DSL-line coming from 1st floor and going up to the 3rd floor where my ISP-router(w/ 4 ports) has to be. From there I use one port down to 2nd floor behind the TV, and the second port uses two pairs from the DSL-line to give local network connection to the switch behind the sofa. I tried punching in three pairs on the 1st connector(one for DSL-line and two pairs for local), and then, cross-connect the two pairs for local over to the 2nd connector and also punching in two pairs from cat5 going down to 1st floor. This gave me only a short connection on both places and never became stable for more than five seconds. My solution was therefore to punch in the two pairs from the 1st floor into the 2nd connector witch gets it`s feed from the switch under the sofa. As you already know the sofa-switch gets it`s feed from two pairs with a RJ-45 connector I put on the splitted DSL-feed cable going up to 3rd floor. So my question is; Can I eliminate that switch by using the two pairs for local to both give a chance to plug into the second connector behind the sofa, and also use two free pairs from the DSL-line going down to the 1st floor to plug into an outlet there? These two would come from the same port on the router on the 3rd floor and will not be used simultaneously. Any clever solutions on what I could do so I dont have to put a second cat5 in place before I get the time to rearrange my network? Planing on migrating the router to 1st floor on some rainy days during my vacation. Maybe I`ll even do a video on it!

[@TheOakRoom]

Again another one in the can, nicely done sir. One quick question, that screen-saver. I had it years ago, but can't remember what it's called, any chance you can let us know? Thanks again.

[@KillerSpud]

I had a job similar to what you do, but for a University's facilities management department. I did everything form data/phone cables, to running the sound system in the football stadium. I do a 9 to 5 style desk job now, and I kinda miss that type of work. I might not have been different every day, but it was different every week or so. I am starting a new job with a small company soon so maybe I'll be swapping out some different hats again.

[@hightechhum7402]

Mastic tape is the tape I found to replace that foil tape. It held the magnet much better. It held for as long as the door lasted

[@JohnHarrisUSA]

I have been involved in the telecom industry for over 30 years starting out on the landline side but spending the last 20 years on the wireless side, very similar skills sets just add RF. I would definitely agree that one of the best parts of the job was not being stuck in a cubicle along as well as working with your hands and being able to stand back and see the finished product. It's nice to see someone that takes pride in the craft they do. Thanks for the videos.

[@danielsimon9673]

Good evening sir, you do definitely educate me, thank you very much for your content! Well done 👍

[@butchcassidy5398]

What about pop rivets?

[@Aleziss]

I love working evening nights SOOO much... it's calm, no other construction trades on site, light or no trafic to return home... I like to work starting in the afternoon up to around 2 or 3 am, just for that fact, I love my job even though I make little money...

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Oh yes, those are many of the perks I enjoy as well. I also really don't like sunlight! When I have friends that want to go to the beach and "catch some sun" I'm always baffled!

[@rascalwind]

Might I recommend jbweld.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

It takes 24 hours to cure.

[@Limeayy]

WD 40 melts adhesive tape residue and that sticky scotch tape is awesome

[@emmgee6831]

Why didn't you just use a rivet or two?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Because I didn't bring my rivet gun or bits with me.

[@charlesfair3382]

i think having a job like yours would be fun for someone like me

[@ImPekay]

A better solution I think would have been a roller reed switch.

[@lkfng]

Is there an amazon link for the tape?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

There will be soon. I'm working on getting them fully populated on all my videos.

[@imjustabill247]

Feels good to do it right. Keep the content coming man and get better soon!

[@MaverickandStuff]

That mounting tape is used to hold trim to vehicles. Sometimes it helps to add several layers if the back of the object is uneven.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Wow! Actually, that makes sense. Another viewer mentioned stacking them as well. Thx!!

[@emtffzartman666]

Awesome!!! Great video as always.

[@bbsphoto]

Keep up the awesome work. I learn a bit more every time i watch. I also agree, those of us who love to do this kind of work will do it for cheap.

[@JGnLAU8OAWF6]

So, when would you upload a new video?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I finished recording the last bits and started editing of 2 more episodes (1 job and 1 tips and follow up). I expect to finish the edits tonight when I get back home and upload!

[@JGnLAU8OAWF6]

Hooray

[@Lagittaja]

Interesting video/job, glad you decided to share it. Slightly offtopic, that's a cool looking screensaver, what's it's name?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I believe it's named "Helios".

[@Lagittaja]

That's the one, found it! Thank you :D

[@julianwildauer]

this is awesome thx!

[@COMEONalreadytaken]

You are the man!

[@PWingert1966]

I now have another use for wd40. Btw can you tell me about that cool screen saver. It’s mesmerizing.

[@RhysLewisNZ]

I also would love to know what that screensaver is called !!!! Awsome channel I look forward to content every day !..

[@PWingert1966]

its called helios. checkout screensaver planet to get it.

[@tallman11282]

7:03 Saying 3M isn't wrong, technically, as Scotch is a 3M brand and is manufactured by them.

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Ah ha! Thx

[@sl06bhytmar]

Scotch is usually a bit weaker than 3M branded one but sometimes you just don't want to maximum holding power. Right tape for the right place.

[@danielrbdr]

Not to criticize but wouldn't a pop rivet be a better and simpler solution to that problem. Great video

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

It would... If you've got one in your truck (which I didn't). But also, I'd prefer to have this work be removable without too much trouble (although a short visit with a cordless drill takes them right out again). Lastly, I needed much more squeezing force on the magnet bracket that I believe a rivet would provide... Still, probably a solution that would have worked!

[@Graham_Langley]

+ FibreNinja Have a look at rivet nuts. Come on many sizes, one-sided fixing and you can set them with a bolt, no tool required.

[@chrispistocco]

Great Video

[@norwegianstud]

One thing I really want your opinion is this; Do you still recommend installing fiber to small organizations of smallhouses(under 50 houses in chain) where there is allready an existing Coax-net to all the households? I ask this because of the Docsis 3.1 technology. Do you know anything about if its worth waiting for?

[@UnreasonableSteve]

As one of the coax clients served by Docsis 3.1 (32x8) I would much prefer to have fiber to the home -- Coax means you're on a shared medium, which means electrical noise/interference from one person's service can certainly backfeed and have an effect on others. With fiber you generally only have to worry about your own line (aside from general network congestion), and normally only really worry about it being completely severed, not degraded via interference. On top of that, the docsis 3.1 uplinks are severely limited compared to fiber's often symmetrical capabilities. Cox's gigablast for example only allows 35mbps up with 1 gigabit down. While that's certainly not a technical limitation and more of a commercial limitation, most fiber packages include far greater upload capabilities.

[@PWingert1966]

If you actually have a budget I would spec out a WISP net. Its a lot easier and cheaper then running fiber and av oids a lot of the shared bandwidth issues. There is a nice microPOP. I will fiber to the microPOP with an up-line feed from my contracted WISP provider. Then each residential unit gets its own antenna pointed back at the microPOP. Your good out to 3.7km LoS. We will probabily go with ubiquity or mimosa depending on prices and expected revenue from clients. Check it out here: mimosa.co/micropop

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I just heard about Docsis 3.1 only recently. I do no work with coax outside of the very rare DS3 install for the local carriers (almost never done anymore since fiber transport equipment is so cheap relatively speaking). I am an installer and not a planner but I would always lean towards running fiber whenever you possibly can. The long term benefits are vast. I have seen instances where Verizon would re-use a fiber path that may be 20 years old carrying a simple OC-3 or OC-12, test it for compliance, and then run a DWDM signal through that same, old fiber path. The bandwidth boost is immense (sometimes reaching up to 400Gps). Fiber is cheap, won't be stolen for the copper recycling, doesn't corrode, and is much more stable in temperature variations. It may be worth it in the long run no matter what it's being used for. Just may be harder to quantify the cost of a line over a period of decades!

[@PWingert1966]

I know here in Toronto we are still getting quoted $1000 per drop from the ILEC (Bell Canada) so while the cable is not expensive the truck role and background infrastructure are still being amortised on the customer accoounts). The WISP Net I am writing up tonight comes out at $5000 for the microPOP and fiber to the uPOP. (Figure 50 stations stations max) on the MicroPOP and $400 (in bulk lots of 100)for each Ubiquity antenna for the residential drop in Canadian Dollars. This is for a residential crescent in a large urban center that

[@norwegianstud]

Thx for the answers guys! Docsis is no go for now, not just because fiber gives way better latency, but also due to costly equipment. So therefore our existing coax-network infrastructure sadly needs to be replaced with fiber(evendough my country`s biggest network builder(former monopoly) has "hybrid fiber" running with the 4pairs of copper in all our houses. :( If it was up to me I would give the FiberNinja a spare room and outsource the whole job to him. And man, comon. Give us a hinch on what your`re working on soon. A vlog or something. Even canceled my NetFlix now to get enough time to watch all your videos.

[@inkrpen]

What is that screen saver?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

I believe it's called Helios

[@fmslickful]

www.screensaversplanet.com/screensavers/helios-1052/

[@dtec30]

ok daft question from someone not in your field would a pop rivet have been better than a bolt?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Not daft at all! In fact, it was already asked here a few hours ago. In short, I didn't have my riveter with me, I wanted to have something easily removable without drilling, and I needed a much stronger join.

[@dtec30]

sorry i had only just got the heads up of your video online and just finished watching it why would you want it to be removable if it was security related ?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Because this location is just a storage rental place and I wasn't contracted by the owner but rather a customer. I didn't want much of anything that resembled permanent installation.

[@dtec30]

maybe not but now it has a hole in the door given your quick side video of the mounting tape that may have been a better option? maybe?

[@FiberNinjaStudios]

Well the original tape that had pulled lose is referred to here in the area as "mach 1 tape" as it's essentially a strip of thin aluminum with a disturbingly strong adhesive on it. If that stuff didn't hold, neither would mounting tape!
