WEBVTT 00:00.639 --> 00:02.639 I'm Carl Shepherd . We're back with 00:02.639 --> 00:04.306 another Marauders in action . 00:07.309 --> 00:09.489 Thanks brother and we are visiting the 00:09.659 --> 00:11.826 C squadron and the cable dog . So , uh 00:11.826 --> 00:13.048 let's have some fun . 00:22.239 --> 00:24.239 Good morning , sir . Here we are in 00:24.239 --> 00:26.360 charge of roughly 550 manholes and 00:26.370 --> 00:28.930 handhold and we're in charge of the 00:28.940 --> 00:30.996 cable inside the building as well as 00:30.996 --> 00:33.218 outside of the building , which equates 00:33.218 --> 00:35.384 to about 100 and 50,000 miles of fiber 00:35.384 --> 00:38.389 at the top . Ok , sir . We have set up 00:38.400 --> 00:40.849 for you today is a quick PM I 00:40.860 --> 00:42.971 preventative maintenance inspection . 00:42.971 --> 00:45.304 Ok . So we're going underground , right ? 00:45.304 --> 00:47.304 That's gonna be a good one . I look 00:47.304 --> 00:46.639 forward to it . Yes , sir . All right , 00:46.650 --> 00:48.206 let's do . It sounds good . 00:52.740 --> 00:54.796 Um What I have here is our multi red 00:54.796 --> 00:57.018 gas detector . What kind of gasses does 00:57.018 --> 00:59.529 that test for , uh test for Colel for 00:59.740 --> 01:03.139 oxygen ? Uh VOC and H two S 01:03.150 --> 01:06.089 gasses . So the lack of oxygen , the 01:06.099 --> 01:07.488 oxygen is a good thing , 01:10.720 --> 01:11.620 Mace 01:21.980 --> 01:24.147 just missed the fourth of July . So we 01:24.147 --> 01:26.800 are good to enter the manhole . Ok . Um 01:26.849 --> 01:29.016 Did you see here we do have some water 01:29.016 --> 01:31.182 in the hole , a bow ankle or so deep . 01:31.182 --> 01:33.349 So , we're gonna get the pump ready to 01:33.349 --> 01:37.089 go on this . Perfect . 01:41.180 --> 01:43.470 Ok , we'll toss it on in the hole . Oh , 01:43.480 --> 01:45.480 the whole thing goes in , correct . 01:45.480 --> 01:47.680 Yeah , it's waterproof . Sweet . 02:02.639 --> 02:04.959 Oh , yes . Not , not at all . Pleasant 02:04.970 --> 02:07.081 down here . Of course , we have a lot 02:07.081 --> 02:09.081 of mud and water in here . So we're 02:09.081 --> 02:11.359 gonna scoop some of that out . Oh dude , 02:11.359 --> 02:14.259 you are in some nice slime . Get a 02:14.270 --> 02:16.619 picture of your boots . So that's what 02:16.630 --> 02:18.574 we're working with right here . So 02:18.574 --> 02:20.949 we're just literally scooping up mud 02:20.960 --> 02:23.238 and putting it in the bucket . Correct . 02:23.238 --> 02:26.600 That's basically uh part of our task we 02:26.610 --> 02:29.000 have to do for an inspection . 02:30.229 --> 02:32.610 Oh , that was lovely . So I hope this 02:32.619 --> 02:35.009 shoelace is strong . Otherwise we're 02:35.020 --> 02:37.860 gonna be visiting the spa . Oh , that 02:37.869 --> 02:39.647 doesn't look like a good fall . 02:45.350 --> 02:49.199 That was , that was a fail . Um I 02:49.210 --> 02:52.679 think it was , do you think I learned 02:52.690 --> 02:54.634 my lesson from the first time ? So 02:54.634 --> 02:56.746 we're down in the manhole , correct ? 02:56.746 --> 02:59.023 We got the cables . You're a cable dog . 02:59.023 --> 03:01.134 Um They all connect to different hubs 03:01.134 --> 03:03.301 across the base and to each building , 03:03.301 --> 03:05.412 uh dorms included and everything . So 03:05.419 --> 03:07.669 one piece of cable we'll go that entire 03:07.679 --> 03:10.029 Yeah , this will go straight to from 03:10.039 --> 03:12.039 right here all the way over to Army 03:12.039 --> 03:14.789 Canada Far is the baseball go . What 03:14.800 --> 03:16.550 happens if it gets spiced ? So 03:16.559 --> 03:19.110 redundancy . So if there's a cut , um 03:19.179 --> 03:20.957 uh we have to splice those back 03:20.957 --> 03:23.595 together with tremendous heat back to 03:23.604 --> 03:25.826 your shop as well . Correct . Awesome . 03:25.826 --> 03:27.326 Ok . Yes , we do repairs , 03:27.326 --> 03:29.660 installations , that kind of thing . Ok . 03:29.660 --> 03:31.882 So where people just , they just expect 03:31.882 --> 03:33.994 their computer to work , they just 03:34.005 --> 03:36.116 expect the internet to be connected , 03:36.116 --> 03:38.283 they expect the electricity to be on . 03:38.283 --> 03:40.394 They expect all the things , but it's 03:40.394 --> 03:40.264 the things that you do in some 03:40.274 --> 03:42.385 locations that are not awesome , uh , 03:42.385 --> 03:44.496 to ensure that that happens nonstop . 03:44.544 --> 03:46.655 So that is , uh , that's an important 03:46.655 --> 03:49.539 job . Attic ladder coming down . I got 03:49.550 --> 03:53.460 it . Ok . All right . All right . You 03:53.470 --> 03:55.710 doing going up big time ? 04:02.210 --> 04:04.589 So what we just saw down there , uh , 04:04.869 --> 04:06.990 when you do have like that five mile 04:07.000 --> 04:09.160 cable job , like it would be starting 04:09.169 --> 04:11.225 at one of these manholes and then no 04:11.225 --> 04:13.391 kidding , you guys would be feeding it 04:13.391 --> 04:15.502 for real . Is right here . We will go 04:15.502 --> 04:17.447 here , then go to the next manhole 04:17.447 --> 04:19.447 about 305 100 ft away . And then is 04:19.447 --> 04:21.669 there somebody waiting in the other one 04:21.669 --> 04:21.079 to know if it , once it finally pops 04:21.089 --> 04:23.256 out , it pops out . You pull and you , 04:23.256 --> 04:25.670 uh , go to the next duct . Ok . 04:25.679 --> 04:27.809 Underground . Send it through and you 04:27.820 --> 04:29.209 keep leapfrogging . Ok . 04:38.519 --> 04:41.429 Perfect . Get just a little more 04:42.839 --> 04:44.728 perfect surf like a glove . We're 04:44.728 --> 04:46.728 actually gonna walk out the manhole 04:46.728 --> 04:48.839 route to give it a bigger perspective 04:48.839 --> 04:51.006 of how long some of these cable routes 04:51.006 --> 04:53.117 are that we have to , uh , pull cable 04:53.117 --> 04:56.690 through . Feel safer with the hard head 04:56.700 --> 04:59.489 on . I don't know what I'm doing . Yes , 04:59.500 --> 05:01.611 good call . I'm keeping it on now for 05:01.611 --> 05:03.609 that . So as we were at that first 05:03.619 --> 05:05.786 manhole , the cable will actually come 05:05.786 --> 05:08.008 up through this manhole through four or 05:08.008 --> 05:10.175 five of the manhole . No , anyone back 05:10.175 --> 05:12.063 through , behind the brownstone . 05:16.470 --> 05:18.470 Oh , it's not cool in here . We run 05:18.470 --> 05:20.248 cable from in the middle of the 05:20.248 --> 05:24.209 buildings up on lights in uh the cable 05:24.220 --> 05:26.510 racks . Ok . Um And the channel all the 05:26.519 --> 05:29.279 way down um to the rooms , the 05:29.290 --> 05:31.540 destination they need to go . Um We 05:31.549 --> 05:33.771 will have our two cables here that will 05:33.771 --> 05:35.882 be terminating . We want you to strip 05:35.882 --> 05:37.716 off this jacket . Ok . Um Slight 05:37.716 --> 05:40.220 pressure around kind of remit as you 05:40.230 --> 05:42.589 would say . Ok . And then pull 05:43.790 --> 05:47.500 nice , you should be able to . 05:47.510 --> 05:49.899 Now I can , yep , pull the jacket off . 05:50.290 --> 05:53.750 Ok , perfect . Ok . 05:54.480 --> 05:57.100 Carefully cut off the part . Correct . 05:57.559 --> 05:59.892 With the scissors that are not scissors , 05:59.892 --> 06:03.779 correct .

Uh Hope whoever 06:11.440 --> 06:13.869 has this room actually gets internet . 06:19.519 --> 06:21.630 Our second to the final step would be 06:21.630 --> 06:23.575 using one of this tool here . It's 06:23.575 --> 06:25.075 called a punch down . Ok . 06:28.429 --> 06:31.140 We see this side , customers see the 06:31.149 --> 06:33.279 face plate side . Ok , I see .

What an 06:54.987 --> 06:57.042 incredible group of folks who really 06:57.042 --> 06:56.920 enabled the mission uh behind the 06:56.929 --> 06:59.151 scenes to make sure that all of our com 06:59.151 --> 07:01.373 work when we need it , which is all the 07:01.373 --> 07:03.207 time . 24 73 65 .
