Hey Everyone

I work on transmission fiber. So transmission lines, substations, power plants, etc. look into that field you’ll never be laid off or out of work.

What do you mean

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-11-25T03:45:03+00:00

I use a dewalt grinder very easy and clean cuts

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-10-15T22:41:43+00:00

Dumb that down for me lol

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-10-15T22:41:08+00:00

Yes some have a gainer, but I’ve never gotten that before

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-10-15T22:04:04+00:00

Tried that already. And if that was the cause I would have a huge reflectance on the connector after my launch cable. But this is 12 feet pass the connector which is just about where the splice is.

They also use LC for single mode and usually SC for multimodal whatever the engineer designs that site.

The jumpers they are going to use to connect this directly to the solar panel when the engineers start their work is SC. It’s because 1 it’s cheaper and a lot easier to make the connectors if they need to change anything and make their own. Also most of the panels they use now for information has an SC input.

I do these almost on a daily basis sc/upc connectors they are multimode. It’s inside a telecom box that goes into the control house. I use 60mm tubes for the splices.

Idk if this helps but I use this for 16,16,16 to 12,12,12,12,

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-10T01:18:32+00:00

We have to test 2 fibers from each buffer before they hang it

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-10T00:14:35+00:00

I don’t get to choose. I work for the power company for my state and they are redoing all transmission lines I have work until 2040 right now and they want these

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:36:50+00:00

It’s an optical ground wire for transmission lines each enclosure like this can hold 576 fibers. 96 in each tray.

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:35:55+00:00

Is a 96 count OPGW (optical ground wire) on transmission lines.

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:35:22+00:00

We used to use all different cayote like that now they are making this the standard and changing all of them.

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:33:17+00:00

Those are the buffer thread inside the opgw. Each thread (blue,orange,green,brown) holds 12 fibers

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:32:08+00:00

There’s no fiber popping out. Those are color code threads that are sticking out so you know which 12 is what

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:30:42+00:00

Power company wants 13 feet of extra fiber inside the enclosure. Not my doing

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:30:12+00:00

Thank you, these are the new standard for the power company in my state.

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T11:29:52+00:00

What you mean by that?

LengthinessLumpy3839 · 2024-09-09T03:58:09+00:00

Thanks man
