Essentially every single aspect of this job went wrong! There was not a single thing I can think of that wasn't a special case, exception to the rule, or flat out messed up and needed special treatment!! Learn from my mistakes people... Not much cabling in this job but I still think it's relevant to this field. I was first involved because I was the "phone guy" among all the technicians one of my dispatchers has.

Good to be back and up and running again. This was an interesting small job to do but I think it showcases a situation where running long patch cables is better than direct runs like I've shown in many other videos I've published here.

I've had that media converter on my desk for at least 6 months now! I hope you all get something out of this one. I've got quite a few more episodes like this I'm gathering content for now and can't wait to share them with you. ** NOTE1: The ZMAX hardware from what I can tell is not available through Amazon so I don't have an affiliate link for you this time. So the best bet I can tell is directly from the source. You can order from Siemon at their website: https://www.siemon.com/us/ ** NOTE2: If you're concerned about me displaying CLLI codes from the transport equipment here, I only ask you this one thing: Please give me one good scenario where a bad actor could make use of these numbers to cause harm, mayhem, or even just annoyances through this knowledge. If you can do that, I will listen to you. If you can't do that one thing, then don't bother telling me about how your company doesn't even let you label the equipment at all now. I think it's a stupid policy and only makes life more difficult for everyone while providing ZERO improvement in security!!

This episode focuses mainly on cabling that is outside and exposed to the sun and weather. I'm also trying out a new camera angle for the channel using "the bench". I expect to do many product reviews and training shots from here soon!! UPDATE: Many of you have asked about what was on my PC screens so here goes... I like to use "live data visualization" websites and simply use a full-screen window of Chrome to show it. Here are links to the 4 different things I had on display: LOWER CENTER SCREEN: Tangram Sandbox - some form of 3D visualization of world (cities are the best to move to first off) combined with possibly realtime traffic information. https://patriciogonzalezvivo.github.io/tangram-sandbox/tangram.html?styles/tilt-ikeda#15.160929114263523/34.0520/-118.2374 UPPER CENTER SCREEN: Earth - "a global map of wind, weather, and ocean conditions" https://earth.nullschool.net/#current/wind/surface/level/overlay=temp/orthographic=-169.31,37.65,862 LEFT SCREEN: The Globe of Economic Complexity - Very cool 3D view of world trade activity. There's some amazing other data visualzation views on that page as well. http://globe.cid.harvard.edu/?mode=gridSphere&id=NI RIGHT SCREEN: Bitcoin Market Tracker - I really don't care too much about BTC but I liked the smaller visualization window for my smaller screen. http://bitcoinity.org/markets NOTE: Much of this was obtained through a rather old Reddit page that's still a decent resource for "live data" websites: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/435g7b/i_love_live_data_visualizations_heres_every_one/

All the mayhem that came in January, injuries, and moving on!

This was a project I worked on this past summer here in LA. Had to stop the work before finishing but I'm still pleased with the outcome. Hope you all find it inspiring and thought provoking. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback as well! *** STAY TUNED: I'm working on another video I'm trying to release later today with just an update on how things are going "behind the scenes". Hopefully I'll get it published soon! *** UPDATE: A lot of you have asked about the rack cabinet I used in this video. I got that rack from another job I was doing for a school. They were going to throw that cabinet away so I got permission to pick it up. There was a sticker on the side that said it was manufactured by Communications Supply Corporation with a part number of W24-SP867-EW but I've done a light search of that info and found nothing currently. Here are at least a couple of similar cabinets I was able to find: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4U-slim-detachable-door-wall-cabinets-wall-mounted-network-switches-small-computer-cabinets-white/32324594167.html https://www.atlasied.com/awr3w-hr Finding just the right search word was tricky on this one! I think I got the best success with "tilt out low profile wall mount rackmount enclosure"

I felt it was necessary to talk about what's been going on with me over the last few months since I've not released a new video. Here goes!

If you are in decent physical shape, not looking to sleep tonight, and want to help us out with a job that needs a bunch of labor in a really short period of time? Well I'm going to be working a rather large cable pull party tonight and really need some help. You can email me here: jon"at"tranquilitycomputers.com or call me at 661-609-6195 I will try and post any answered questions I get here in the notes to save someone else's question.

This was a fun and different project for me. I have a feeling I'll be doing a lot more of these in the future and it was a fantastic learning experience for me. For those of you interested, I am using the Ubiquiti Powerbeam antenna (PBE-5AC-500) here. Considering it has a 25Km range, 0.8 miles was no sweat!

Watch me lose my mind at less than a minute in! LOL... This one doesn't have too much cabling in it but I felt the need to answer these questions and share my thoughts on career here since I get asked the question frequently. Also I show at the end a little talk about our first "Ride Along"! If you'd like to spend the day with me and are in the Los Angeles area, feel free to PM me. You'll always be welcome! Thanks everyone for all your support and for getting me over 9K subs!! I've got some interesting plans for the future here... Stay tuned!! BTW, that thumbnail photo is me almost 30 years ago in high school...

A simple job today running a new network drop in a storefront. What I encounter --in the wild-- is an IDC patch panel done right! Some tips on keeping the belly full and basic cable running stuff this time. And some of this while a kid shouts bloody murder in the background!! *** AT THE END I'VE GOT SOME NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS *** For those of you interested in the type of RJ-45 connector I'm using here, It's a n ICC IC107E5CBL Cat 5e EZ Modular Connector. They can be found on Amazon in bags of 25 for around $50. https://www.amazon.com/IC107E5CBL-25PK-Cat5-Jack-Blue/dp/B000U9Y2I2

This one is a bit different. I try to look cool and macho lifting a heavy vault lid by myself and manage to look like a dork! I have some info to share with this video but it's more about what NOT to do this time. I'd love your feedback on the additions I've made to this video -namely the narration at the beginning and the summary at the end. Please let me know what you like and dislike! I'm working to keep producing great content for you and want to make sure I'm going in the right direction. NOTE: If you are squeamish about spiders and bugs, you may want to skip this one!

An unusual job where the network / telco equipment was placed in a rather high traffic area for both the customer and their patients. I had to perform several revisions to accommodate this including raising up the cabinet, relocating the power receptacle, and enclosing the telco 66-blocks. In the end, I like the result! Originally, the network equipment had been installed inside a shallow wall cabinet next to the sink in the bathroom! This meant that any work performed on the network would make trips to use the bathroom awkward! I explained to the customer that this was not a professional way to do this -nor was it in line with the level of quality in the rest of the office. I proposed we relocate the equipment and make it more secure.

Holy cow this turned out to be a long video! I will seriously be shocked to see if anyone manages to stay awake through all 2 hours. I was thinking of breaking it into parts but my wife talked me into leaving intact as a single video. I'd love to hear feedback from you all as to the formatting and length. his was a project that spanned around 2 months and a lot of all-nighters and weekends. I'm proud of the result and hope to get the chance to do another project like this in the future. It isn't often I can just be cut lose to do everything I think needs to be done so the network will be in it's ideal state so this job really makes me happy. I hope all you enjoy the video and manage to either learn something you didn't know before or get inspired to do something differently in your work. ============================= Help support Fiber Ninja efforts through My Patreon page: https://patreon.com/fiberninja You can also support me directly via PayPal: https://paypal.me/fiberninja *** Amazon Affiliate link for the gray cable tags seen in this video *** https://amzn.to/2nPOKIL

Looking back, this solution seems so obvious but I just think it took many years of dealing with trying to hide excess cable, manage slack, and even custom cable lengths per port, until I finally arrived at this technique. Enjoy!

Showing some of the lessons learned that I've gone through dealing with patch panels over the years. I've pretty much arrived at what I think is the best solution (if you're starting from scratch).

Mind you, this is Southern California so the weather doesn't get TOO bad, but a lot of the points are common throughout the land: make sure it's well sealed / insulated, add your drip loops, etc.

NOTE: this is a re-upload of a previous video that had TERRIBLE audio levels. Hope you all find this version a much more tolerable experience! I never got the chance to finish this job but I'm quite proud of how far I got before leaving. I think it is a good study in problem solving and working with existing equipment.

Some general tips from a small job I worked back in late December 2016.

Working this install today made me think of a good brief topic to shoot regarding some tips involving cabling around rackmounted equipment. Hope you all learn something!

I ran into some additional issues with this project I wanted to share with you all briefly. I think it highlights some of the advantages of how I terminate 1U patch panels (when space allows).

*** NOTE *** I know that the username / password for the Ubiquiti CloudKey is visible in the video. It's ok... It's also ok that I show the phone number towards the end. This is an advertised number. *** /NOTE *** This was a very satisfying project to do. Got to clean up years of neglect, simplify the system, and run everything properly. I hope you like it.

NOTE: Please check out my re-uploaded version of this video in the link below. The audio is MUCH better than this! https://youtu.be/NjVZdojsIvE I never got the chance to finish this job but I'm quite proud of how far I got before leaving. I think it is a good study in problem solving and working with existing equipment.

NOTE: OSX stands for "Optical Signal Cross-Connect" I am especially proud of this OSX overhaul. The fiber cables were originally run in a very hazardous route that had them laying directly over a sharp corner of sheet metal. Additionally, we were completely out of space for future growth. Over a period of weeks, we slowly overhauled the fiber ducting and structure around this old OSX to get the existing cabling better protected, and still allow room for future cables that may need to be added. Along the way, I show some examples of improper use of concave fiber ducting fittings and what happens to them later on. Enjoy!

I recently retired my good old IBM Thinkpad X41 tablet laptop and decided to experiment with Windows 8. The claim had been that the system requirements were even lower than Windows 7 and I wanted to see just how low that could actually be. In all fairness, I did purchase a 1.8" SSD from eBay as the only upgrade on the machine (the original 4500 RPM hard drive had died). I was absolutely blown away by the speed of this machine with Windows 8 installed! I'm going to be installing Photoshop or Illustrator in the near future to see how well it performs with a heavy-duty drawing program while using the stylus and will be sure to post another video here. Mind you, Flash video and other processor-intensive operations are still fairly slow but basic computing is pretty good. This actually brought new life to a machine I had long since written off!! UPDATE: I have since learned that Windows 8 doesn't truly perform a shut down in the traditional sense --It still executes a hibernation. This means a longer time in the powering down phase since it is writing everything in RAM to the hard drive but it also means much faster startup times. I have long suggested doing this when using laptops due to their slow drives but the fact is that it makes sense no matter what you're running. Microsoft has simply forced our hand to always perform a hibernation when powering down and never truly shuts down the OS like we have conventionally though...

This was an interesting problem to solve. I needed to run fiber to both sides of an equipment rack with just one vertical duct. I devised a solution by fabricating a unique way to convey fibers and still maintain protection and future growth.

This was my first Juniper E320 install. There were some interesting fiber management issues to resolve here that I thought someone would enjoy seeing.

This was a re-work of a bay of fiber distribution panels that were previously either unprotected or poorly protected. I tried several possible fixes before arriving at my final solution. I hope you enjoy it!

This was an interesting clean-up job. Not only were there sharp right angles in the fiber duct but much of the slack was taken up vertically. This eventually slid down the vertical trough and pooled in a big mess at the floor. I clean up the runs and add new fiber ducting overhead to manage the slack and remove the sharp edges.

This was a complete overhaul of an existing fiber ducting system at a remote site. It involved moving existing fibers from old to new, larger troughs, combing out the tangled mess, taking up the slack from around the equipment, etc.

Here's a quick fix I did on a fiber distribution panel that didn't properly protect the fibers running to the back of the panel. It isn't uncommon to see situations like this in remote sites where access to the proper tools and hardware is very limited (or would mean a long drive back to the central office).

This was a fiber optic cable duct rework that was needed due to the new fibers being added at a Remote Service Unit (RSU) for a local telco. Many RSU's have sub-par workmanship due to their distance to the main central office and lack of the correct hardware or tooling needed to do the job in the best way.
