Interesting. Have never heard of that. Are there dangers of the plastic cracking etc? Can you do it with dry ice? Much easier to get. From: fiberrun--- via AF Sent: Tuesday, November 5, 2024 10:15 AM To: af@af.afmug.com Cc: fiber...@mail.com Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OTDR Recommendations You

You can also cold clamp the fiber cable with liquid nitrogen to induce a temperature dependent loss event to pin point your location. No cable cutting needed.     Jared     Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2024 at 6:51 PM From: "Ken Hohhof" To: "'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group'" Subject: Re: [A

I don't know if dry ice is cold enough to induce a loss event. Dry ice is barely colder than the normal operating temperature of the cable. Liquid nitrogen is significantly colder and even so only induces a 0.2 dB loss event.   There is always risk of thermal stress with such low temperatures, bu

Has anyone used the Exfo Optical Explorer? Looks like it is essentially a simplified OTDR with other functionality, but should work for basic fault-finding. https://www.exfo.com/en/products/field-network-testing/xpon-wifi-speed-test/opticalexplorer/ On Wed, Oct 30, 2024 at 8:17 AM wrote: > Y

[AFMUG] Fiber and Microtrenching

The Boss and I are having an arug^H^H^H^H Discussion about installing fiber in a campground (Mostly permanent Singlewide units).  He thinks that it would be too difficult to do.  I contend that with Microtrenching down the campground roads, this would be the perfect deployment for Gpon Fiber.

We throw down 2 microducts minimum. Use one of them to daisy chain into the boundary between two homes. The other for spare or mainline/express circuits. We trench between 15 and 30 feet per minute depending on the width and depth of cut and depending on the type of blade and attachment. Cu

So with Gpon you could come between 2 trailers, use a 4 way splitter, feed 2 things, then use 1 to go to the next splitter?  I guess that makes way more sense than a bunch of duct. On 11/5/2024 4:55 PM, ch...@go-mtc.com wrote: We throw down 2 microducts minimum.  Use one of them to daisy chain

We have always used PPPoE in the past. Just happen to be what our first system 23 years ago was based on and we just stuck with it. We are setting up a new area with all new equipment. Looking at setting it up as DHCP. Looks like I can do some DHCP radius stuff and our new equipment will inj

We NAT'ed our wireless SM to solve that. Now that we're doing fiber (PON) the ONT are all RG so it's nat no matter what. Technically you could bridge the ONT but 99.999% of our customers are simply RG/NAT. On Tue, Nov 5, 2024 at 4:39 PM Mark - Myakka Technologies via AF < af@af.afmug.com> wrote:

You can also do fbt (non-symmetrical) splits like 95/5 90/10 etc where you peel off just enough light for your 1x4 or whatever and keep the rest headed down the strand. On Tue, Nov 5, 2024, 3:00 PM Nate Burke wrote: > So with Gpon you could come between 2 trailers, use a 4 way splitter, > feed 2

We prefer to toss a fairly high count in the duct and put the splitters at more of a central point. But distributed splitters certainly allow you to keep the count low. 144 is pretty cheap and allows a home run to each dwelling from the splitter location. -Original Message- From: Nat

What routers do you use to terminate your L2 and issue your dhcp? Most support /32 in some way or another. you really dont need the option 121 just a /32 with a default works. I have done this on juniper, cisco, mikrotik, netelastic, and nokia. Some of those vendors require a BNG license to sup

What equipment? Some types of equipment like our Calix XGSPON, handles this natively, so you can just use DHCP and it will already isolate the clients. We still have active ethernet in some parts of our network, so port isolation or switch port forwarding or similar items are what you are looki
