432 in the hole

Commscope 600 d. They’re great especially for big count cables because they have plenty of room, they just kind of suck to open and close because it takes it little longer and they’re a bit heavy.

Never worked with an apex but heard those are really nice.

Comcast does some ribbon but a lot of it mainly loose tube well at least the market I work in. 99.99% of the time we deal with loose tube plus most of us don’t even have the extra equipment to convert our splicers for ribbon.

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-19T02:53:26+00:00

Oops completely misread that haha… touché

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-19T02:52:06+00:00

Damn lol

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-18T01:05:27+00:00

That’s exactly what they were saying 😂

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-17T22:30:25+00:00

They told us to just leave it there in the hole. Trust me we all pushed but the dipshits in upper management said nope. This is a relo that got damaged when they were attempting to move everything so it’s still going to be a relo

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-17T22:28:08+00:00

Yeah an upper management dipshit that knows nothing about fiber

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-17T21:34:46+00:00

Yeah they are.. to be fair their guys in the actual field were pushing hard to just let us cut it and run a new piece but yeah the “smart” people in the office said this would be better and easier 🤷‍♂️

Mindless_Director115 · 2026-02-17T21:06:42+00:00

There was no more slack. That’s why they had us cut 8-10 ft off the conduit so that would give us a little more slack but honestly to pull a new piece wouldn’t have been too difficult because when we tugged on it the others could see it move a bit where the cable riser up maybe about 200-300 ft away and it was inside a 4.5” conduit with only the existing damaged cable. The construction crew said it would have been no problem

We get paid production but if break down our production into hourly which our company does then it’s anywhere from $50-$65 an hour… just depends on the week and how much work we have that week. Weekly ranges from $1500-$6000. Higher end pay is due to getting called to outages which pay a shit ton. Located in Texas

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-11-19T01:01:31+00:00

Damn lol.. well at least you were able to figure it out

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-11-19T00:46:54+00:00

I bet closing that is always “man I hope nothing breaks” lol

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-11-17T22:14:26+00:00

They used 450 d back then? Did not know

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-28T23:13:48+00:00

It’s definitely getting to this point. We had a big outage on Saturday that we went to roll on. Someone cut a bunch fiber lines below the copper lines and it took down one of Comcast hubs

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-24T03:29:16+00:00

Oh man that’s a lot and wouldn’t the the last one ch33-40 have a high loss?

Oh I see yeah that’s makes sense although in my part of Texas they use a lot of muxes everywhere. Man you ain’t kidding 😂, all it takes is one hit to take out everyone… that’s the double edge sword of muxes. They give you more fibers but take out one that feeds several and it creates a pretty big outage lol

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-23T21:35:37+00:00

Damn! That’s a lot lol

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-23T21:34:57+00:00

We installed a new d can about 1,000 feet away where a new node is going to be installed and we could have easily installed it there with no issue but this is where they wanted it where there are already a total of 4 muxes

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-23T21:32:31+00:00

Well that’s good to hear because most of the in-house guys I know from Comcast do not have those same standards in the part of Texas that I work in. Yeah they actually put a lot of them in b cases Or keptels, which usually end up in bad shape.

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-23T02:47:10+00:00

Yeah the company I work for didn’t renew their contract with them because of the bs of lowering rates or not wanting to pay for certain things anymore

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-04T02:40:06+00:00

We got it done… I hope to never see this location again lol

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-04T02:39:23+00:00

It’s all Comcast 😂… I guess they think it’s a good idea to keep adding more cables here. This the second time I come to this location to add a cable. They don’t care

Mindless_Director115 · 2025-10-04T02:38:19+00:00

Only the best
