Your actions at height, equipment and speed of action when connecting the cable are respected. Thank you for showing it. In Europe, in cities, everything is underground. But on the country site it is exactly as you showed.
So true. In italy it’s so rare to see this on poles
why was i about to say this exact thing!!! wth
Thank you sir, sorry I forgot to reply. I'm excited to travel and see telecom all over the world.
From the UK as a telecoms engineer, i climb 15metre poles the lot.. got an interview for a company ( uk company ) to spread to the US. super excited and hope i get it. nice video mate. thanks for showing us how the US do it!
I’m in Canada 😅
@@FyBurz sincere apologies! I can’t tell the difference between the accents😆
@@georgeclarke8770 😂 all good man
This looks like such a nice job. I mean, this is the stuff I love
Thanks man, yeah it’s a pretty good gig
The CATV terminator tools lol honestly I hate when techs get them jammed into a house box where they don’t wanna come out
A tip i learnt along the years, when you place your ladder on a strand like that or midsection, get your hooks on it and leave your ladder short, so when you go up and put weight on it itll bite and have you secure.
Good tip for beginners, there’s reason why I don’t and do. It’s situational, I explain in my mdu build video on why.
nah, thats just safety in general, anyone can use it, not just beginners. @@FyBurz
At bell Canada we have to have the 3rd ladder rung on the strand, it’s weird
@atomicgunpla yeah I’ve heard that before
really nice video, liked the part where your co worker easily caught the screwdriver XD
Thank you very much I was wondering how is gonna be like
Very good!
Thanks!
Thanks for this video man! Got an interview for a fiber company, doesn't look as scary as I thought at all
Sweet man! If you trust your equipment and work smart you’re good 👍🏼
Why did i find this interesting? Lol
Nice work. You have been at this a long while and know what your doing.
I just had fiber installed. Used to be a network guy.
I hope because the video was interesting 😅 thank you! & sweet man what type of network work?
What state are you in? I do the same thing but for Altice. That fiber drop you're working with looks like Verizon. Over here in NY we gotta splice into pdos where the light is coming from and splice at the end of the drop with a pigtail so the home installer can test for light.
I’m in Bc Canada 😅 thankfully I don’t have to do that. All plug and play on my end. Unless I do the install myself 🥲
8:50 bro just casually takes out a wasp nest with his own hands 😅 great video, very interesting!
Thanks 😅
I work for Bell Technical Solutions in Kitchener, I just moved to structured cabling after doing this for 11 years. Where is this? Great work by the way, we do it a little different but same result.
I'm in BC, structured cabling is cool, I like being outside haha
Nice❤❤
It is too bad we cannot post pictures here. We just had fiber service ran in our neighborhood, and after looking at the trunk line, in two places where they put an expansion loop in the run the loop is that tight that there is a genuine kink in the line. It looks like a kink in a garden hose it is that tight. I am scheduled for my install in a few days so will be interesting to see what the tech says when I point it out to them. Thanks for the great videos too!!
It’s likely your line (light level) with be affected. But also not. Fibre is a lot more resilient than it seems. Definitely sounds like a sloppy install
Clearance from 'hydro', meaning electric power service lines? Nice job once again!
Yes exactly. It’s what we call power here in Canada 😅 and thank you!
@@FyBurzthanks for the clarification!
Hi, good job
Hey, thanks
Your work too neat my friend, cutting old tie wraps are certainly above the top, is it my impression or you only do the drops, not inside the house?
I do both, when needed. most of the work I post is outside plant. but I definitely have inside install videos
Muito top o videos trabalho com fibra óptica aqui no Brasil, sempre tive curiosidade de saber como as instalações são feita em outros paises
Can you tell me what toll pouch you where using and where you using a holster for the drill?
All toughbuilt products! My favourite
Compared to the work I see your a good tech . Keep it up 👍🏼
Thanks man, I try to take pride in my work 😅
You gotta fiber scope those drops, dirty straight from the factory a lot of time
Not part of our protocol 🤷🏻♂️ never had a problem
Thank you for sharing. Do you procure your fiber locally?
Not sure what you mean, but my material comes from depots around my province.
@@FyBurz Thank you. I'm with EPCOM, and we offer a variety of competitively priced fiber optic options. If you're interested, I'd be happy to share some information with you.

As a network engineer in the USA, whats the difference between a NAP and an MPT?
Nothing really. My isp calls them NAPs (network access point) but in general we call them MPT(Multi port terminal) which is a more generic term that applies more broadly.
My mind can’t handle the mess on the pole😖
Great job, dude. Answer me a question, please: what if a drop cable breaks. How exactly do you splice it? I am sure that in a different way than a multi-core cable
Or maybe you're just replacing the entire line in this case
Depends on length. Usually just replace. On longer drops. Sometimes we take it back to the last pole and splice it there. There’s lots of variables though.
@@FyBurz I'm just interested how you splice this cable. Using some special coupling or something?
@@starkweather6890 watch my other videos I show how
Why are you not keeping a 30" climbing space on pole at tap. And also why are you using the CATV strand. That would fail in our MA...
I follow all our required safety protocol. And certain strands are shared here. They use ours we use theirs.
Coming from a lineman, quite using midspan hooks as cable management. Use J hooks on poles, you make it hard to ad cables in future.
Not how we do things here. Sorry bud
I’m also an installer, it’s similar but have some diffences on how we do it here (Canada). As commented by jason, we use J hooks from the pole most of the time, we hook it up 12 inches above the network to get to client’s mast. Rule of thumb, we follow the power line anyway. And 12 inches from the power line is also for us, we are not allowed to get closer even to the low tension lines (well, as much as we can).
I’d love to start a career in this! What’s the smartest path? I’m 22 and ready to start a career.
Find a telecom sub in your area and ask for a job 😅 watch my videos to learn how to do it 👍🏼
Hey bro dope video, im a field tech for spectrum and i noticed your hooks on the ladder weren’t actually on the strand i could never lol pretty sketchy.
With experience comes more risk 😅 but nah I usually do it so I have room to slide one way or the other if needed. This was weird cuz the stand was very slack.
@@FyBurz 😂 i dig your videos bro stay safe out there bro, hopefully i learn how to do fiber in the future looks so dope.
@@KiddFerrel it’s a pretty good gig
So you guys are pre-installing home's? No actual service provided? Also what part of the world is this? In my market it is against code to attach anything to the power mast.
My drops are order based tech comes behind me to install. I’m in BC Canada. No logic to be against code. It’s the tallest strongest point design to attached cables to. It’s protocol here to attach on mast.
I’m training to be a fiber tech now do u have any tips to make me learn quicker
Yes sir, watch all my videos 😅
Hello, I am working in Korea. Where did you buy the clamp that ties the drop optical cables? I wonder because there is no such thing in Korea
I don’t buy them 😅 all material and accessories are from the provider. Also do you mean the wedge clamps to hang the drops ?
@@FyBurz It's a tool that pulls the optical cable tight
@@FyBurz Thank you for your answer
are you using a go pro to record?
Yup, hero 8 black. And my iPhone
@@FyBurz Apple watch ultra and? on the arm polo eletric this is this dangerous?
@@SupremaciaCosmoTec nope
How much did you make there? Briefly breakdown
I don’t really disclose my rates. But it’s enough to make it worth it 😅
Watching your videos you always leave the fiber drop cable in the drop box without termination why?
My part of the job is just to run the drop, the technician that comes to do the install does the termination
@@FyBurzdon’t you do that as well or just running the drops?
Which gloves you using?
Umm. Idk the brand. I usually buy the 10 packs at the hardware store. They’re pretty thin and flexible. Just dipped in neoprene maybe. I like these specifically because they work with my phone. And they’re pretty durable. It’s like duty work so it gives me the protection I need while still maintaining full range of motion.
Why zip-ties? - they only last a few months before they are baked and cracked by the sun.
I use UV resistant zips. Also it’s protocol 🤷🏻♂️. We only use them to hold the waterfall off the mpt. And I replace them every time I add a drop.
attaching the J-hook would cost you an extra attachment charge by the owning company of the poles. definitely don't want to use those if height clearance is not required
Not really an issue here. It’s just common to come off strand unless clearance is required like you said
True but I New York Verizon also owns a lot of the poles. So I imagine they can do whatever they want.
@@JerdGuillaumeSam this is Canada
Gross. Pre-connectorized drops. I work for a fttx isp and we only have a few markets left using this, we just fusion splice on a pigtail now and connect it into our terminals. So much nicer than having to carry around a bunch of different sized reels. Feels bad man!
This is much more efficient than pig tailings imo. I don’t mind carrying a variety of drops 🤷🏻♂️
What’s that screwdriver called
Not sure which. I filmed this video a long time ago 😅
Do you just hang the drop and not have to run the outlet ? You got it made 😂 at spectrum we hang 2,000’ drops and have to complete the entire jobs 😳
😅
@@FyBurz your company does it the right way, maybe a small or local ISP. This is the best way to break up the work load, excellent work with the drop route as well. At a huge ISP field techs are treated like garbage, it’s great you have the opportunity to enjoy what you do!
@@calenbolo join our discord! discord.gg/R5TKC92TW3
I’m a sub contractor for one of the biggest isp in Canada. As well as others.
@@FyBurz Our company has bullied out service partners or contractors for installs, sucks because we " in house " have tripped work load. And there were some that did good work, but overall they just didn’t pay them enough by the jobs. Those guys should’ve been paid by the hour and we would’ve had less work load on the in house guys. Going on a tangent, but it’s cool to see another guy hanging fiber drops. What sort of winch do you use when you hang a span over 400 ‘ 120 meters ? I usually pull tight then hook the drop hanger to a ratchet strap.
@@calenbolo do you use self support fibre ? I have a video coming out tomorrow hopefully, where we use a come along. And Chicago grips.
as a coax supe using this to learn and reteach fiber, holy fuck please be more careful on the ladder. neither times up were you properly hooked or strapped off. you do good clean work, please be safe even casually and especially while being instructional
I am very safe on my ladder, don’t worry! I have over a decade of ladder experience. And I trust my equipment.
@@FyBurz trust me i understand. when i'm alone i don't strap off and i'm pretty loose with safety. but a couple years ago at spectrum there was a guy who fell due to not having proper EQ or safety knowledge and since then anyone i personally know would be fired on the spot for not being properly hooked onto the strand, and not using a safety harness up top. regardless, thank you for the very educational content
@@f2bacon I always wear a harness and you might not see it but I’m usually hooked up to the strand as well. In some situations I’d rather fall than be stuck hanging. I’ve had poles snap on me and luckily I wasn’t strapped because it would have likely lead to me breaking my legs.
He’s talking about your ladder hooks. You should let your hooks rest on the strand when climbing the strand. Your hooks were almost a foot above the strand.
Also, when you belt off, your belt should be long enough so that you can wrap from one side of your climbing gear then to the strand on one side of the ladder then to the inside of the ladder then back to the other side of the ladder and finally attaching to the other ring of your climbing gear. It appears you go straight from your climbing gear to the strand.
@@Wav10001 I’m very aware of how most people use their ladder and lanyard. I’ve explained in multiple videos why I leave my hooks above strand. (Which I don’t always do)
I have my way of doing it. To some it may seem unsafe and it is to a certain extent at the gain of efficiency. I have a lot of experience with ladders and heights so I can safely do my work while still maintaining efficiency.
Also I want to note that my ladder is usually placed very near the MPT/NAP. And if I were to place the hooks tight to strand I wouldn’t be able to effectively route my fibre through clamps.
To summarize we all have an our way of doing the work, granted I could maximize my safety. But if any of you have ever worked construction you all know there are ways to work safely yet efficiently.
In America if you ran that drop you did it wrong way. You can’t use that strand that belongs to cable. Just like cable companies can’t put clamps on phone or fiber strand. You’ll have to go off the pole
You’re not wrong. But there are certain strands here that are shared. Kind of an unwritten understanding
All this talk about the strand, I wonder why you attached to the electric riser when there seems to be a perfectly good telecom riser. Under NEC attaching to the electric riser is not allowed but violated all the time.
Here that is the standard. All telecom attachments go to the hydro mast. They’re designed to take the load. Telco masts are often under 1.5” and the mast clamps don’t even natively fit on them.
This dude would be written up if he worked at Spectrum. Safety guys would be all over his ass!
Luckily I don’t work for them 😅 I follow what protocol I need to, to keep me safe on over 3000 drops. I could always work safer tho! You aren’t wrong.
Wow you get help?
What do you mean?
@@FyBurz were you training? I never get help, 😆
Your span clamp in on wrong should be a 1/4turn more the last clamp you put on the RClamp will slip off in a heavy wind. A bell senior installer trainer
Sorry but that’s not up to our standards. They are either oriented up or down. With the opening always towards the slack side. Allows for more drops to pass through easily and to neatly dress the loop.
Although I agree it could potentially fall off in high winds, I did zip tie it to the clamp to prevent that and tensioned it at the house accordingly as well.
Interesting that Bell uses the Clamps sideways. Appreciate the insight tho, Thanks. 6:15
You should not be coming off of the cable companies strand. That is why everyone else went to the pole.
Our strands are mostly shared here, and no one came off the pole as I showed in the video they’re all off the strand. Just one pole to the left is another fiber MPT
Sppsshhh. Ill clamp to anything with a support cable. If I'm running a spectrum drop with a midspan bump, but the span for spectrum is missing or broken, hello att feeder line.
@@billycole852 haha, yeah I mean no one is auditing these lines because it’s turns into a mess around. I use their strand here, they’re using ours around the corner.
@@billycole852lol 😅
Hlo sir i need a job
Where do you live ?
fucking trailer park got fiber before me cringeee
This is a laneway house 😵💫😅
Ngl you tossing that drop over that triplex made me cringe.
😅 no harm done
@@FyBurz I do a lot of copper work and i would not trust myself doing that :D
What a mess,looks like every installer does it different.It's an aerial eye sore.
Your lack of safety training is astounding. Got the job done but I can count half dozen violations. For one, learn how to use your damn climbing belt correctly. You most certainly could’ve came off the pole with a j hook and avoided that entire mess by placing under the strand on the pole. You’re not even using your hooks on the strand 🤦♂️
Read some of my replied you might get some insight into my perspective 😅. Safety is a spectrum. I agree though I could work safer. But also take much longer to do my job. Yes I could have gone to J hook. But here we come off the strand without issue.
