Re: [AFMUG] Netskrt.io
Jason, Yes been using it for a while now. I off loads some traffic. I installed at end of last football season, so only had one Thursday night game left. Waiting to see what it does this year. Other than football it does do some caching on a regular basis. -- Best regards, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- Thursday, August 15, 2024, 2:53:12 PM, you wrote: > Is anyone using caching boxes from this company?-- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
[AFMUG] DWDM/CWDM Magic
We may have the opportunity to grab 2 strands of dark fiber. These will allow us to build a loop between two points on our network. We have been told we can also break into this fiber within our loop. I'm guessing when we break into this fiber they will just extend the dark fiber into our handhole and we will be responsible to figure out what we do once we cut into that fiber. I'm trying to figure out if there is a way to do this passively so we don't have to depend on having our loop run though a customers location. I was thinking of CWDM. I can setup a CWDM/DWDM at our site and send multiple wave lengths down the fiber. Is there a way for me to break out just one wavelength at a hand hole passively? Let's say I have a North/South run of 2 strands going though a hand hole and I what to break out 1270nm for a customer. Is there away for me in the hand hole, passively, to peel off just 1270nm. Put something like a 1x2 splitter in on N1, N2, S1, S2 and send those 4 fibers into the customer site. Then install a couple of 1270nm optics in a switch to preserve the loop for that one customer. Do the optics do all the magic or are there some type of filters in the DWDM/CWDM modules? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
[AFMUG] LiFePO4 question again
I'm finding hard to pass up just getting a 100ah 48v LiFePO4 rackmount battery. I have a new fiber system that will need a maximum of 3kw once it is maxed out over the years. This seems like an easy and clean battery solution. Question is how do I power the system from the AC side on a daily basis and keep the battery charged. The normal rectifier way seems to be a bit lacking in LiFePO4 support. I can get a EG4 Chargeverter 48V 100A Battery Charger that looks like it would do the job. Not sure if this thing is designed to run 24/7 at load or if it is designed for intermittent loads to just charge batteries. Thoughts? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
[AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool
I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is rotting away. Apparently this spool is in real bad shape. I'm waiting on some pictures to see how bad. Guys are telling me we are going to have to abandon all the fiber. I hoping to try to re-spool it to another spool. Any tips or tricks? -- Thanks, Mark mailto:m...@mailmt.com Myakka Communications www.Myakka.com -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
