How to Ribbonize single fiber

[@kaseyschutz]

I'm a fiber splicer out in the Bay Area of California. I just started working for my buddy's company in June so I enjoy watching your videos to see if there are any new tricks I can pick up. I was taught to ribbonize by hand but another guy on our crew loves using his jig. Keep posting I love the content!

[@fibersplicegod]

Nice glad you like the videos thanks for watching. There will be plenty more videos to come keep up the hard work and fiber will take you all around the world 🙌

[@Eatabagofahunniddicks]

Never compromise the quality of your work for speed. Always follow the same procedures that work for you and especially in high tractor enclosures and stuff think about future work on those buffers and trays and enclosures it’ll always keep things orderly and neat and easy to work in

[@kaseyschutz]

@@Eatabagofahunniddicks I was taught early on to think about the next guy because most likely you will be the next guy in that case

I have to do fiber restoration once or twice a week on usually cut direct buried fiber sometimes outside on a table I’m just know starting to attempt ribonizing and splicing ribbon fiber enjoy your videos keep it up👍👍

Thank you for sharing! Your technique really helped me.

[@fibersplicegod]

Glad to hear that thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

The marks of a true fiber trailer, fiber throw counts wrote all over the table. Not even using the clips included with fat-04. Is it better to tywap the sponge in place or to pull it into the hole?

[@fibersplicegod]

Hahah yea I’ve always been one to write my locations out on the table helps ensure no mistakes 🙌 thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it

@@fibersplicegod I am kind of surprised that you don't use the sumitomo OFA-1 fiber arrangement tool to save time. No glue to dry

[@fibersplicegod]

Yea I’ve seen that tool it’s not to bad. The reason I don’t use it is because I am billing out for making ribbons so I glue them all for the customer and so I don’t get any fibers pulling through when I use my heated jacket stripper

[@anthonylewis3709]

Great video. Are you planning to show us what a fiber map looks like? And how you interpret it. I see those numbers on your work bench. Thanks.

[@fibersplicegod]

Yes I will be breaking down everything in my upcoming online splicing coarse I will be releasing in the new year.

[@anthonylewis3709]

Can't wait, thank you sir.

[@fibersplicegod]

No problem thanks for watching hope my videos are helping you 🙌🙏

[@foot408]

Woolen questions for you. How often do you change ur sponge and how do you clean that tool. I just got that tool today and am messing around with it at home today! Your videos are great btw

[@fibersplicegod]

Hey thanks for watching and I use one sponge for the ribbonizer per location doesn’t matter if I have one ribbon or a 150 ribbons to make at that location. Then I use 99% alcohol soak a piece of paper towel and rinse out the glue

[@gradyrm237]

I use an older FAT that uses glue kits that require changing sponges after each ribbon. Just sent this vid to my boss. @@fibersplicegod

all. Computer IT audio video networking Electrical but also just fascinated with fiber.

[@fibersplicegod]

Nice that’s awesome well there is plenty videos on my channel to learn from just releasing a new one from today right now

[@3324jake]

Man that generator is loud af

[@mtharri]

How often do you change the sponge ??

[@fibersplicegod]

I use one per splice location if ribbonizing is needed. Doesn’t matter if it’s 1 ribbon or 144 ribbons 1 sponge per location 🙌 thanks for watching and subscribing I appreciate it

[@mtharri]

@@fibersplicegod ok thx for the info

[@fibersplicegod]

@mtharri no problem any question you ever have just hit me in the comments I’m always happy to help out

[@Eatabagofahunniddicks]

The company I’m with righ now doesn’t have a ribbon splicer so I had to do a 432 mass burn today One splice at a time

[@fibersplicegod]

Damn yea splicing a 432 single takes some time I’ve done it a handful of times when I was splicing in Trinidad and Tobago everything there they wanted single spliced
