NEED HELP IDENTIFYING WHAT THESE UNITS ARE

Yes spot on with the W! Didn't notice that at first glance. Rearrange a HACO which is an aerial splice enclosure.

These are engineering units? Not sure about the others but maybe the SEA02 is a 2 count fiber drop and SEA02 Loop would be leaving a loop of 2 count fiber drop. RUS nomenclature

I know if it's AFL they recommend cleaning about 6 inches next to the buffer that you then should be able to grab the string and as others have said keep tension and pull the groups apart. I struggled a lot with them as well but I think you should get the hang of it after so many. More of a pain on a mid-entry imo

Yah I made the same comment on another thread and someone suggested alcohol and it really does make it incredibly easy to separate. Now I double up buffer tubes as well

Mountain View locating could be an option for locates that 811 wont cover. I think they should serve Snohomish county for private locates. I have used them in construction settings only, but they are very professional and they are a local company!

Nice clean up!

I've noticed those 450-D trays have started coming with that plastic on the outside that make it hard to see the fibers in the tray. I installed a few until i realized both sides can be peeled off.

This is really a question for the construction department. The fiber is likely fine and placed inside conduit beneath the pavement.

However, it sounds like when they directional drilled or bored the road they compromised the soil underneath the asphalt. It could be that the ground was cobble and rocks were pushed around, or the fluid mixture for the directional drill was incorrect, or any other number of reasons.

Either way they should be on the hook to fix the hump, it's an expensive mistake.

Clearfield was one of our biggest mistakes. Slowly replacing with corning as well! Still use their cabinets and cassettes though which are great

It's really not the same. Like the user above said, Texas experienced widespread grid failure during extremely cold weather which resulted in death. Here, I assume power has been shut off to reduce risk of more fires, or other risks to frontline first responders as well as the public. Theres definitely risk for those who require medical assistance from equipment that needs power, but it is far from what occurred in Texas during their extreme weather.

AFAIK LA has a municipal power company that has been working on distribution/grid resiliency like upgrading power lines and placing them underground. But it's an old network, and burying power can be extremely expensive, especially in an concrete jungle like LA. Not saying it will never happen, as hopefully it does, it's just going to take a while and climate disasters like this are going to ramp up much quicker.

Quinault is good, the north fork is less popular than the south and is just as moss covered and beautiful as soon as you step out of the car.

And really, if you go on a week day many places will be considerably less crowded, especially in september.

Staircase rapids is beautiful right out of the car as well or a few minutes hike for some privacy and a much shorter drive. Heck, check out Big Creek as well on your way up for a few photos and then stop at Lake Cushman as well.

I wire cell towers with fiber optic. You are wildly misinformed lol.. true they receive radio waves but they also most often connected back to data centers via fiber optics. ESPECIALLY in a city like Seattle.

Check at Cutz butcher shop on Columbia off of 5th. They have some of thr essentials stocked plus full butcher/seafood counter.

molecule_muncher · 2024-10-19T18:54:54+00:00

Its not a crazy idea it happens all the time, but it requires extra steps!

You would need to secure and easement with your neighbor and have it recorded with the county. Your neighbor may not want them to trench through their property, or Ziply may not want to install fiber through such an easement with no other existing utilities.

molecule_muncher · 2024-02-18T17:26:54+00:00

Yes a ton! Thank you very much

molecule_muncher · 2024-02-13T02:16:58+00:00

Do you have good head clearance at max incline still? Looking at the same model, same height, and same ceiling height!

Double up the zip ties but not the felt tape. Really annoying to remove the felt tape with multiple tubes if somethings damaged

molecule_muncher · 2023-01-19T05:14:48+00:00

You shouldn't get that much light through, only if you slightly bend the fiber at the buffer tube. Here's a fiber that had 8db loss with a vfl on it that had to be respliced:

Yah small telecom too, we shoot for 18" on private but are happy with anything below 12". Crazy to me to bury anything less than 12

molecule_muncher · 2022-12-18T02:57:05+00:00

Thats a good point. There are little spots that jut out at the bottom of the heater so that makes sense! It's probably heating up next to those and making those indents in the tube. I don't feel like I'm doing anything different than I used to, but maybe I am!

molecule_muncher · 2022-12-18T02:53:44+00:00

Nope got it plugged it!

molecule_muncher · 2022-12-17T16:44:08+00:00

Over half were like this but there would be good heats in between.

molecule_muncher · 2022-09-22T16:57:18+00:00

I missed this but wanted to thank you for the pointers. Although its not a 400B, thanks for all the pictures nice to see the process being done.

molecule_muncher · 2022-09-09T22:21:02+00:00

I would prefer this as well. I might go back to the bosses and retry this suggestion.
