I’m a fire life safety tech, I have that same Gerber I do 50% of my work with that tool. I’m looking to learn fiber because lot of our networks are fiber and I would like to learn more To add to my skills. Great video

[@mikel9567]

That fiber was dirty as hell after you cleaved it. You can see debris on the fiber (looked like a string or hair). Need better fiber discipline. Keep it clean.

[@TristynRusselo]

This video was recorded with scrap on my passenger seat to show a customer how to fix his fiber inside his home. I could not enter due to covid. This video was made for emergency use, not to train fiber installers. He got a light level of -15 db on his first try.

[@Beachnative42]

I work for AT&T and used to clean with alcohol after cleaving it. Not anymore, the optical gel inside pushes the crap back and guess what? It works.

[@nooneyouknowhere6148]

@@Beachnative42 i work for the same company as you. They tell us not to use mechanical connectors any more. Too much trouble from prem tech using them. Fusion splice only now.

[@Beachnative42]

Im a wire tech and you ALWAYS will have one mechanical connector. Fusion splicers are not cheap and AT&T ain't giving us all one

[@xHuggs]

I find it easier to put the black boot on first before I expose the fiber

[@dalefirmin5118]

AFL connectors are the easiest and fastest of mechanical connectors. You should put "AFL" somewhere in your title so that others can search KZbin easier when looking for AFL connector videos.

[@TristynRusselo]

It was in the description, but i added it to the title too. thanks

[@PWingert1966]

I like AFL's splice terminations as well. If you have a splicer handy its well worth using them. So much faster if your working with large numbers of fibers.

[@RobotMowerTricks]

This is great, thank you.

[@sashirajangdembey39]

you don't need to touch that naked fiber wire so many time it will broke before splacing

[@TristynRusselo]

There are many things in this video that would not be done if I weren't shooting a video. Sometimes you need to do things for instructional purposes, also, if you didn't read the description this video is not intended for technician training it was done for an emergency video to show a customer how to fix their own fiber due to the technician not being able to enter due to covid

Thanks Tristyn!

[@PWingert1966]

A friend just received their fiber optic internet installation. They used Corning RPX 6F fast access drop cable with six fibers in it. It is becoming standard to use six fibers in for SFD and MFD units. The basis is many single-family dwellings are using their basements as an apartment and that justified having the six fiber networks, So when a tenant moves in, the just terminate and connect another fiber and still have a backup for each with one left for a business home office connection (many corporation now require physical separation between residential internet and work from home and corporate home office access hat is completely separate from residential with its own route and firewall hardware..

[@TristynRusselo]

We use 2 fiber drops now as well.

[@SkillsBattles]

great, thank you

I'd lose the gloves. I find I have enough trouble with fibre let alone with gloves flooping all over the place.

[@TristynRusselo]

The gloves are for safety. Fiber optics is GLASS. there is the possibility of microscopic pieces of glass getting embedded in your skin or transferred into your eyes and mouth. Once inside the body they are impossible to detect and can migrate to bone or nerves causing pain or injury, and can even cause death if they get into the bloodstream and shred your heart valves. Information on this is widely available, just Google fibre safety. Here is one such reference: www.fia-online.co.uk/pdf/pdf/MemDownload/tsd0053-1-02.pdf Optical fibre shards are only 125 μm (1/8 mm) in diameter and can easily penetrate the skin. Penetration of the skin causes pain (sometimes intense if the shard is long enough to reach a nerve fibre or bone) and can cause irritation and inflammation of the affected area. In extreme cases, the wound can become infected. Also shards are difficult to see, particularly in when they are of short length, and can be carried on the surface of the skin and transferred to other areas such as eyes and mouth. A significant feature of optical fibre waste is that once inside the body it is invisible to normal type of analysis including X-rays. It is therefore imperative to implement measures targeted to minimize the risk of ingestion of optical fibre shards during the installation process and afterwards when non-expert users may enter the areas containing optical fibre cabling

[@TristynRusselo]

I wont mandate that you wear gloves, but I highly suggest it. Or at least do some research... NOT on facebook. Get facts from research, not peoples opinions. hmm... sounds familiar

[@joelopez7459]

cus they don't fit

Cotton glove sir. Rubber glove is sticky. Sweaty hand due to hardworking job. Are you an electrician?

[@TristynRusselo]

Did you read the description?.. this was filmed for EMERGENCY COVID USE, to help a customer fix their issue without technician entry. Covid... everyone has rubber gloves. Im a telecommunications technician. I made 130K last year.

[@TristynRusselo]

Proper gloves are level 5 cut resistant or thick nitrile gloves. Cotton is actually unsafe as the fiber can pierce through with no resistance.

[@marhabamarhaba7126]

Good job 😊😊😊😊 my friend

NICE

[@dub04647]

Hi Bro can this video be used to show students who learn about fibre optic termination?

[@TristynRusselo]

i wouldnt... but i wont stop you. this video was filmed on my passenger seat outside of a customer home, to show the customer how to fix his fiber inside. i could not enter due to covid. I should have been wiping the fiber with an alcohol wipe after stripping off the cladding, the boot should have gone on before cleaving.

[@Lazcano85]

Att conector love is super fast

[@vk2lq]

I must say I have seen so many things done wrong here, the rubber boot should be fitted before cleaving as not to damage the end of the fiber, the yellow rope is Kevlar and should be cut with Kevlar scissors as a fiber splice myself

[@TristynRusselo]

did you read the description?

[@vk2lq]

No didn't need as a teacher was using a a learning video pictures speak 1000 words

[@TristynRusselo]

@@vk2lq the very first sentence of the video description states: this video is not intended for technician training. That's kind of an important statement to read. this video was recorded to help a customer fix his own fibre during covid lockdown. The video was recorded on my passenger seat of my van with tools I was able to hand the customer. The customer was successful in his first attempt with a light reading of -14.8 Did you not learn to RTFM?

[@johnthomas-qp1el]

Iam a Indian splicer..... can I get any job vacancy in there this field..... or what are the main procedures for this..?

[@johnthomas-qp1el]

Pls reply for me bro?

[@ristanadwicahya]

Is it true if the fiber optic cable is too short, it can cause signal atenuation that can reduce or disturb the data rate of the internet?

[@TristynRusselo]

Too short? Where? How? Huh? If the cable is too short it can't reach the equipment

[@ristanadwicahya]

@@TristynRusselo no, that's not what i meant, let's say there is a pair of single mode optic cable that design for 40 kilometers distance connection between two place, but instead we use it for only 500 meters, is it can cause signal attenuation? Thank you for response my question before, im very sorry if this is dumb question 😅

[@TristynRusselo]

@@ristanadwicahya you would expect cable designed for longer distances to be higher quality/lower attenuation.

[@ristanadwicahya]

@@TristynRusselo i mean the laser or light beam, is it okay to use laser that design for 40 kilometers to be used in 500 meters connection? are the light in the receiver side will be too bright, so it can cause signal attenuation?

[@TristynRusselo]

@@ristanadwicahya no idea.

[@johnthomas-qp1el]

Can you help me to study about optical fibre...?

[@TristynRusselo]

I just install it in residential homes, I never had to take a test or study for anything. just a couple days of on the job training.

[@joshuamahan6051]

Same here, I started working for spectrum. I learned coax with them after moving I now work for Hargray fiber and learned everything on the job, it's not hard just have to take your time and do it right.

[@joelopez7459]

So what does orange do?

[@TristynRusselo]

its a second fiber, it can be used for second service or as a spare.

[@joellopez8135]

what is the name of the wire dude?

Fyi the yellow hairs...is kevlar

Yes it is. Wasn't important at the time, as stated in the information for the video, this was not intended for technician training. it was for helping a customer restore their service without the technician entering their home.

[@gayleralan]

@@TristynRusselo no worries brother..just thought I'd give it a mention incase someone was wondering what it is. It was interesting fir me to see how things are done on the other side of the pond

[@TristynRusselo]

@@gayleralan oh no prob.

[@hobbesip1]

This is not suitable for regular practice. No professional should be using this as any kind of guide. As noted, this not how a technician should do this work. Sounds like this was for a customer using incorrect, yet available tools, in some sort of desperate situation.

please get some better gloves

[@TristynRusselo]

please read the description...

[@over-engineered]

@@TristynRusselo Hi Tristyn, I don’t understand your reply? Your gloves look far too big and a hinderance. I wear gloves when working with Fibre, but they are tight fitting with breathable backs.

[@TristynRusselo]

@@over-engineered I made the video using what supplies I was able to give a customer. I normally don't use gloves, they are a hindrance and should not be needed as there is no reason to touch the fiber optic core

[@ronhess5890]

Maybe you should learn what this "stuff" is called before you make a video. Yellow hairs? You aren't terminating any of my fiber optic cables.

[@TristynRusselo]

did you read the description? This video was created during covid to teach a CUSTOMER to fix his fiber because I could not enter due to COVID. This is not intended for training technicians. it says this clearly in the description. The video was shot outside of a customers house. 10 minutes later his service was restored. This video was used several times during no-entry. 6-figures last year.
