Indicator lights on a 5-port fiber optic switch
System activity and status can be determined through the activity of the LEDs on the switch. There are three possible LED states: no light, a steady light, and a flashing light. Switches have LEDs for indicating power status, port status,link status, error indication, troubleshooting and performance monitoring.

Climbing utility poles and threading fiber optic cables
In this video im showing and explaining how to climb a power pole using a fall protection belt, also drilling into a pole and framing it for 1/4 strand that will supports the fiber optic cable. moreDeploying fiber above ground on poles or towers removes the need for underground digging and is particularly useful when the ground is uneven, rocky or both. (FOA) was founded in 1995 to help develop the workforce to build the fiber optic networks to support a rapid expansion in communications and the Internet. Plan your outdoor fiber installation carefully by surveying the site, choosing the right cable type, and following FOA and OSP standards to ensure reliability.

Fiber Optic Connector Insertion Loss Analysis
Insertion Loss is defined as the reduction in optical power between the input and output of a fiber optic link. It is expressed in decibels (dB) and calculated using the formula: IL = –10 log (Pout / Pin) Where: Lower insertion loss values indicate better optical performance. To be able to judge whether a fiber optic cable plant is good, one does a insertion loss test with a light source and power meter and compares that to an estimate of what is a reasonable loss for that cable plant.
