A tip i learnt along the years, when you place your ladder on a strand like that or midsection, get your hooks on it and leave your ladder short, so when you go up and put weight on it itll bite and have you secure.

Good tip for beginners, there’s reason why I don’t and do. It’s situational, I explain in my mdu build video on why.

It is too bad we cannot post pictures here. We just had fiber service ran in our neighborhood, and after looking at the trunk line, in two places where they put an expansion loop in the run the loop is that tight that there is a genuine kink in the line. It looks like a kink in a garden hose it is that tight. I am scheduled for my install in a few days so will be interesting to see what the tech says when I point it out to them. Thanks for the great videos too!!

[@FyBurz]

It’s likely your line (light level) with be affected. But also not. Fibre is a lot more resilient than it seems. Definitely sounds like a sloppy install

Coming from a lineman, quite using midspan hooks as cable management. Use J hooks on poles, you make it hard to ad cables in future.

[@FyBurz]

Not how we do things here. Sorry bud

[@vonfrancois]

I’m also an installer, it’s similar but have some diffences on how we do it here (Canada). As commented by jason, we use J hooks from the pole most of the time, we hook it up 12 inches above the network to get to client’s mast. Rule of thumb, we follow the power line anyway. And 12 inches from the power line is also for us, we are not allowed to get closer even to the low tension lines (well, as much as we can).

[@JerdGuillaumeSam]

What state are you in? I do the same thing but for Altice. That fiber drop you're working with looks like Verizon. Over here in NY we gotta splice into pdos where the light is coming from and splice at the end of the drop with a pigtail so the home installer can test for light.

[@FyBurz]

I’m in Bc Canada 😅 thankfully I don’t have to do that. All plug and play on my end. Unless I do the install myself 🥲

[@donmoore522]

Why are you not keeping a 30" climbing space on pole at tap. And also why are you using the CATV strand. That would fail in our MA...

As a network engineer in the USA, whats the difference between a NAP and an MPT?

All this talk about the strand, I wonder why you attached to the electric riser when there seems to be a perfectly good telecom riser. Under NEC attaching to the electric riser is not allowed but violated all the time.

[@FyBurz]

Here that is the standard. All telecom attachments go to the hydro mast. They’re designed to take the load. Telco masts are often under 1.5” and the mast clamps don’t even natively fit on them.

[@Wav10001]

He’s talking about your ladder hooks. You should let your hooks rest on the strand when climbing the strand. Your hooks were almost a foot above the strand. Also, when you belt off, your belt should be long enough so that you can wrap from one side of your climbing gear then to the strand on one side of the ladder then to the inside of the ladder then back to the other side of the ladder and finally attaching to the other ring of your climbing gear. It appears you go straight from your climbing gear to the strand.

[@FyBurz]

@@Wav10001 I’m very aware of how most people use their ladder and lanyard. I’ve explained in multiple videos why I leave my hooks above strand. (Which I don’t always do) I have my way of doing it. To some it may seem unsafe and it is to a certain extent at the gain of efficiency. I have a lot of experience with ladders and heights so I can safely do my work while still maintaining efficiency. Also I want to note that my ladder is usually placed very near the MPT/NAP. And if I were to place the hooks tight to strand I wouldn’t be able to effectively route my fibre through clamps. To summarize we all have an our way of doing the work, granted I could maximize my safety. But if any of you have ever worked construction you all know there are ways to work safely yet efficiently.

Sorry but that’s not up to our standards. They are either oriented up or down. With the opening always towards the slack side. Allows for more drops to pass through easily and to neatly dress the loop.
