Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

Works on buried lines. Seen it done in project we did for fms Technologies years ago in Cotulla, Asherton, Encinal and Laredo, Texas by backhoe operator we hired to dig tower base and anchor pits. He found telephone lines, gas ,sewer and water pipes that didn't show up on school maintenance

You already asked about this. You just buy the bare pigtails and splice them on. Waste of money buying complete patch cables. On Fri, Jan 26, 2018 at 7:57 PM, Steve Jones wrote: > Im no fiber guy at all, we are doing the first fttr and theres alot of > little

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

Im no fiber guy at all, we are doing the first fttr and theres alot of little acronyms. Ftw. We are getting some spliced cables premade, theyre just cutting fs.com patch cables, is that going to poke me in the eye? On Jan 26, 2018 7:52 PM, "Carl Peterson" wrote: > >

Most (all?) FS SC SFPs are custom so they take longer and ship out of China not Washington. Re pigtails - That worries me. I've got some OSP going in in FL using their pigtails... let us know how it turns out. > On Jan 26, 2018, at 2:32 PM, Jason McKemie

Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

I would not have any problem opening a ped and connecting a transmitter to a sheath connection. Some of the Rycom transmitters and probably others will inductively couple into the cable by just setting the transmitter over the line. And you can also use the clamp-on inductive couplers if are

Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

How often do you daylight/hydrovac their line? In our area, other utilities recommend doing so every 30-50ft when you are going parallel to their lines, in the assumption that their line won't have any extreme deviations in that distance. As Chuck said, using your own cable locator is the another

Re: [AFMUG] Where to buy fiber optic patch cords etc.

I've had good luck with fiberstore's patch cables. However, I recently order a pigtail from them that, for some inexplicable reason, does not allow light to pass when spliced onto my OSP cable. I'm suspecting a fiber type mismatch, but so far they have not come back with anything confirming

Re: [AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

I would not have any qualms about plowing parallel. 1 foot 2 feet. If worried, get yourself a cheap cable locator and track it yourself. If you hit them and they are not marked properly it is not your fault. From: Jason McKemie Sent: Friday, January 26, 2018 12:21 PM To: af@afmug.com

[AFMUG] Plowing parallel to telephone

Does anyone have any suggestions on things to look out for when doing this? I've noticed the locating of telephone cables is a bit sketchy around here to say the least, so it makes me nervous running long distances parallel with them. I'll try for the opposite site of the road when possible, but

Yeah. You can always try Baltic, Amazon, or Monoprice. But it seems like nobody beats fs.com on price, and they seem to stock every possible thing. -- Original Message -- From: "Darin Steffl" To: af@afmug.com Sent: 1/26/2018 11:50:53 AM Subject: Re:

Where are some good websites to buy fiber optic patch cables, sfps AND media converters? I'm hoping to save on shipping by buying from one source. Specifically, I need patch cables with SC to SC connectors and an SC SFP. Do they make SC SFPs?

Re: [AFMUG] Arc Wireless 30 dBi vs RocketDish RD-5G30

Sorry for the late reply on this. The Arc 30 dBi dish will work at that distance if there isn’t a lot of noise out there. In our less noisy environments, we are shooting 10-12 miles with B5cs and the Arc dishes. However, that is about the max distance we will go with a 2 foot dish.
