I used to have to deal with that a bunch in my old job - I was the guy being dispatched for a lot of locates because we owned a lot of cable in the area. The worst would be when another department would need a hole "real quick" and jump in the backhoe and dig up some cable. They hit fiber once and it was like $20k when it was all said and done. Sitting in a muddy trench splicing a 200 pair cable in the rain really sucks. I bet you'll call before digging next time! |

Nope, I called Dig-Safe...... This apparently was an extra coil or two of cable they just threw out there instead of trimming the ends at the end of the pull. SO when they came out to mark the burried lines this was not marked. Sitting in a muddy trench splicing a 200 pair cable in the rain really sucks. No doubt, I hate terminating fiber regardless of the circumstances... unless I'm making tripple-time, then, maybe it's okay. |
