This month we have been helping a security company in Clacton….nice and local.
Re-terminating fibre cables for some CCTV cameras
2 x 12 cores and 2 x 24 cores…..all different grades of fibre including OM1, OM2….changing all the patch leads to suit the fibre type and testing using the correct launch leads for each type.
A mandrel method was used to take out false readings on setting up a set of reference leads…..
My old City and Guilds training came in handy….
All terminated onto LC and replaced all the enclosures at all points.
Improvements:- all areas now working.
Advice:- replace fibres that are down or part down within a given timescale
An enjoyable project all in all and a great company to work for……
