Re: [AFMUG] OTDR Recommendations

The $300 OTDR has been accurate in the two? situations we've had to use it. It was between two HH in the first case (broken fiber we hit with a tool) and the second stopped right at an intersection (ants ate fiber 30). On Thu, Oct 31, 2024 at 12:42 PM Dev wrote: > We had a $300 OTDR. The only t

Re: [AFMUG] OTDR Recommendations

Still, length is not an exact science with OTDRs. Especially if it is a long shot. Every fiber has a different index of refraction and velocity factor. And these characteristics vary along the entire length of the fiber. Then there is twist in the tube, wavering routes and slack loops etc.

Re: [AFMUG] OTDR Recommendations

Yes, and then split the overlap or gap assuming you know what the span length really is or should be. Best Regards, Chuck McCown McCown Technology Corporation 8401 N Commerce Dr Lake Point, Utah 84074 801-250-9503 Office 435-830-4306 Cell www.mccowntech.com www.microtrench.pro www.terabitnetw

Re: [AFMUG] nonstart/noncompletion clause

That doesn’t pass the “equity” smell test to me. I guess it depends on the language of the contract. Seems onerous. Say the original contractor signed on, had a key person die on their team, and they only mobilized and had to shut down. I really doubt they would be on the hook to cover anot

Re: [AFMUG] OTDR Recommendations

We had a $300 OTDR. The only thing it didn’t do was estimate length very well if it worked at all. My friend asked how much money we’d save if we dug up the wrong lady’s yard to replace a fiber that wasn’t broken. Then we bought a Viavi, waited for a show discount. Now we can dig up the right

Re: [AFMUG] nonstart/noncompletion clause

Per our attorney, anything it costs above and beyond what the original contractor signed for is owed by the original contractor. If the original project was $100k and you had to pay someone else $300k to get it done, the original contractor owes you at least $200k, and anything else on top of th
