Re: [AFMUG] 12-count ribbon splicing - how hard is it?

If you want to ribbon splice, you need a ribbon splicer. If it's 288+ you probably want to buy one. If you're limited on tray space you'll need to buy one. If you just want to loose tube splice it, you can pinch the ribbon on the sides and the glue breaks apart. This gives you the 12 fibers. I

Re: [AFMUG] "Central Office" style fiber patch panels

288 ports. 288 APC bulkheads in the front which leads to a pigtail of 10-200 feet. I prefer loose tube and that is spliced to the 288 SASJ cable that goes ~19k feet up the road. The pigtails are spliced to a can, 450b or 450c in our case. The LSX panel is a bit expensive, but I only by one per

If things go super well, no phone calls, I can do a ring cut + case prep in 45 minutes. That's pretty consistent. Some days the splicer (expensive tool) just wants to be a pain in the ass and it can take hours, but if it's working well maybe 30 minutes. If you know 100% what you have to get done

We text back saying we need you to call in to cancel. This is our policy for the safety and security of our customers. The reason for this is to meet CPNI requirements. How do we know that wasn't a fake text? It's mostly wireless customers that switched to our fiber, of course. I remember I to

Re: [AFMUG] Big Broadband jacking up rates now?

Gigabit fiber here in town is $49.95. Metronet is hungry to steal customers because everyone is so damned lazy to switch. Spectrum is $30 for 100 meg for the first year. Both companies skyrocket 1.5x after that first year and Metronet is even more in the third year. When you say jacking up rate

In the last 10-15 years I've only added Stabil to every generator and used enough gas in them to not require draining. I'm sure at least 1 generator has 12-18+ month old fuel. Now that I think about it, the rooftop one probably has 3-5 year old gas at this point. It ran just the other day just f
