right oh okay i'm like tom cruise oh my god i'm a short man with a big ego i mean i do my own stunts this this is copper networking cable copper's lame this this looks nothing like the network cable in your house why because it carries data using light that's right ladies and gentlemen it's finally happening i have been chasing the perfect networked video editing setup since before i even founded Linus media group and the reason is simple it is a massive pain in the scrotum to toss around external drives use google drive or whatever it is that regular people do to share footage across multiple team members and when it's done properly network storage also helps protect your valuable data in the event of a drive failure now this project has been a huge undertaking but we learned a ton and we're going to be using the light from your monitor to network that info straight into your brain world interface that's right we're going 25 gigabit to every one of our editing workstations 100 gigabit to our servers and we are telling you guys all about it holy wait really are we sponsored by solidworks wow holy to that too are you feeling stuck on your current project or waiting for your prototype to come off the 3d printer don't waste that time you should be learning from industry pros who make products using solidworks every single day this year's 3d experience world is online and it's free to attend check it out at the link in the video description before we talk about the how of installing and using fiber it's important to understand why fiber is even necessary in the first place in both copper and fiber optic cabling information is transmitted by changes in energy at a given frequency with copper Ethernet like rj45 cables the conversion of these changes in electrical energy to actual data on either end is handled by the device that you're plugging into that's why the devices tend to be expensive and the cables tend to be cheap in the case of fiber optics the cables and devices can be relatively affordable but the transceivers which are used on both ends to convert the changes in light to data can be an absolute money pit it's also worth noting here that your switch or network card can be fussy about the brand of transceiver you use kind of like printers that require pricey first party ink fortunately all of our gear got along nicely without getting into too much detail about the nerdiness that is cable signaling the main advantage to fiber optic cabling is that it can carry a signal over a much greater distance and at a higher frequency this is thanks to the very low signal power loss incurred by the glass inside the cabling itself it also has much greater resistance to interference because the light inside of a fiber optic cable isn't really susceptible to electromagnetic interference from heavy machinery or electrical lines etc now it's not that copper cabling can't do high speeds even in our server room we have copper cables that run 100 gigabit but those cables are usually limited to about 5 meters and if you move up to 400 gigabit Ethernet yes that is a thing the longest copper cables you'll see top out around 3 meters or 10 feet that's nowhere near long enough for our editors to plug in so we knew we needed fiber but fiber is the kind of rabbit hole where there's lots of documentation out there but all of it is designed for people who already know everything about it do we need single mode or multi-mode lc or sc simplex or duplex om3 om4 om5 so here we go the two main types of fiber are multi-mode and single mode and the main difference between them is the size of the core which is the actual glass that transmits the optical signals while single mode uses a very thin core isolating the light to a single beam multi mode has a much larger core allowing the light to reflect back and forth within it this allows multi-mode fiber to send light along several different paths or modes at the same time however when it comes to longer distances the multiple paths of light can cause distortion at the receiving end making it less ideal for applications like that in practice multi-mode is usually reserved for up to about a hundred meters which means that inexpensive led or laser sources can be used to send light down the glass anything greater than that let's say 10 20 40 kilometers is typically single mode and requires much more expensive solid-state lasers this means that for our application going from here to here we could use single mode but that would be really expensive and kind of stupid next up we've got the type of connector or termination lc sc fc st etc this one really comes down to your application or preference the 25 gigabit transceivers that we're going to be using from fs.com by the way thanksfs.com use lc fiber connections so naturally that's the type of cabling that we went with you can easily adapt between connection types so if you get the wrong cable it's not a huge concern but there is one big note here re-terminating fiber cables in the field can be very expensive and time-consuming so whenever you can it's best to use pre-fabricated cables like what we got from our friends over at infinite cables thanks bros then there is simplex versus duplex light can only be sent one direction at any given time so in most cases any fiber link is going to have two cables one for transmitting and one for receiving this is called duplex fiber however you can also get simplex fiber and run by die or bidirectional transceivers which make use of multiple modes of light each to send and receive over one cable these transceivers are much more expensive though so they're not much use to us but in the data center by eye can be used to increase density in fixed size conduits and patch panels and can also help with cable management then there's the category of cabling for multi-mode there's om1 all the way through to om5 with the primary difference being the bandwidth and distance capability of each generation we went with om3 because it's cheap ish and has ample range for the relatively short runs to our editors so okay multi-mode duplex lc connector om3 fiber say that three times fast but enough of talking headlines let's take a look at the actual deployment and maybe we'll even run and test a cable usually when you're working with this ultra thin stuff it's to save space in your conduit so that you can run more cables but we were mostly concerned with fitting the boot of the wire inside of our electrical boxes you'd also usually run it in conduit or by cabling with some kind of shielding or protective cover but it's just gonna kind of hang out up in our drop ceiling so we weren't worried about the cables getting damaged over time and even if one did we did run copper to every station just in case and the server room happens to be just on the other side of this wall so it's not like we'd have to go very far so from each of these keystone jacks right here ah there we go each editor oh thank you Jake we'll have a small patch cable like this running to the 25 gigabit nick in their system shout out to melanox for providing those by the way we did a full video showing off their blazing fast speeds recently and then each of these will be protected by here we go there we go a small bit of split loom while the fiber lines in the office were run professionally there's one that we kind of forgot to do the one that goes from the server room here around where the camera guys sit to overhear our ingest station some of our camera operators got a little dvd about using the mac minis so we're back to pc and what we discovered is that running 10 gig with two red megs plugged in actually saturates it so ed was like hey can we have a fiber connection we were like hey we got you covered so the only thing here is we're working with like the extra scraps from that install so we might have to like couple two cables together but it's actually like fine fiber is really easy to couple so how should we start this do you think i guess we have to start on one end yeah kinda so we already have wire mold that runs across all the way down to here but then it pops back into the wall like right there for some reason oh weird so i guess we can have it come out of here and then we'll just like tape some split loom to it i think yeah okay blue loom is like this corrugated plastic stuff that's split and it's a wire loom so you put wires in it to sort of protect them or keep them organized in the case of fiber you like don't want people to damage it is there a reason this computer goes backwards i think if we have the split loom come up we can like tape it or LTT Store cable tie it to like right here and then just a little bit of fiber will come out i absolutely hate everything about what i'm looking at right now you got to be gentle with this stuff eh i will i know but it's not it's not easy what are the odds this fiber cable still works by the time we're done i give it at least eighty percent eighty percent yeah and you want that to go into the cable dude adam and jig there yeah oh my god we have to move the shelf how the hell are we gonna move the shelf three two one oh man um that should probably be enough hey okay all right all right here i'm gonna pass this up to you well should i just like climb on the shelf i guess i i don't know how how strong you think this pebbly case is very oh wow there's like a open wall socket here you should probably tell Yvonne about that i think this is a fire bell are you gonna take this at some point what hello hold on i gotta tell you vaughn about this hi oh watermelon sugar okay you're still good you're still good are are you gonna start putting it in there i mean i don't know a little bit i mean okay that's about the right length i think i don't think this shelf is going anywhere so i'm just gonna oh okay i'm on the shelf now yeah good i guess um are you all the way to the top it's not it's not quite it's a little warm i think that's good enough for now okay where's the oh geez oh gosh some people use ladders i think you should just climb up here to do this whole part all right i'm just gonna throw this over there oh wait we were supposed to do two two why two uh because there's two ingest stations going here all right all right get on back down there well why do i have to get down there because you're the little one i'm gonna tape this one up here hold on and just pass me the roll of tape uh nope hey can you pass me the roll of tape can i can you wait a second zoomers man they're so impatient damn boomers they're so slow your mom's a boomer i don't even think she is i drop the tape are you there you want to open up the thing yeah you wanna pass me the thing well you gotta open up the thing first don't give me the thing first how about fine here here's your thing i can't believe we're running fiber straight to the backs of the ingest stations this is kind of crazy what were you thinking instead i just thought they'd run Ethernet where's my fiber in my office okay now climb up here and do your thing let's sometimes i wonder who's actually in charge here okay it's not gonna fall right can you hold it i'm i'm holding it right now i'm holding it braced against this one you're fine plus this one is like in the way so it's like fine oh god okay all right i'm gonna i'm gonna get down now you have fun up here see you later maybe we should have tested these cables before we put them in there yeah it probably wouldn't have been a terrible idea i need some tape or you're just closing it oh yeah just gotta not pinch it too hard there we go man i'm like the pinch off king is that what you told me i'm pinching off the thing here i'm lightest tech tips hi i'm coming to you from the top of the shelf uh we got some great news up here the lights are the lights are they're warm but they're not hot you know it's too hot up here with my LTT Store stealth hoodie you know why he wears the toque so he doesn't have to do his hair exposed hashtag Linus i think i need like a flathead or something uh you have keys on you uh yes oh you do have a knife yeah that's enough what is the cycle it's a ladybug i don't want to break the knife yeah why don't we use let's use the flathead uh very graceful dennis well no that was my keys that wasn't me yet oh god uh where is it there it is okay there we go not so bad so how far are we going to make it here we might make it like pretty much to there most of the way which is good actually because then if the coupler i'd rather the coupler not be in the wire mold yeah okay wait how did i end up on top of the ladder oh no Jake i'm stuck on top of the shelf you're gonna have to get the ladder and climb the ladder he can't resist the damsel in distress the damsel oh boy damn incel you know for a fact i'm not celibate you've met my children oh yeah that sounded worse than it was yeah no no not like that you ready yeah give me that oh god that wasn't very graceful okay hold on we can do more graceful than that right all right oh okay not graceful but it works if it works like twerks you know can i can i climb it this time oh you want to go up here yeah uh if i come down i'm not going back up you got long arms right um yeah i don't know if i'd describe myself as a long-armed boy you better watch that sprinkler all right yeah yeah i'll try not to punch it too hard this is very unpleasant isn't it doesn't it suck oh my god oh hey fortunately my t-shirt is also LTT stored it's not exertion sweat it's like stress sweat like the really stinky sweat i'm like tom cruise oh my god i'm a short man with a big ego i mean i do my own stunts there's one more grievance we didn't talk about previously in the video and that's that you can't get the end of these cables dirty if there's any speck of dust or you know like sweat or whatever grease grease stuck on the end of the ferrule that's at the end of the fiber cable it can actually block your signal and result in a connection that doesn't work fortunately our friends over at fluke sent us over to one of their server fibers this is like a 20 000 fiber tester thanks fluke thanks fluke one of the coolest features with this thing is their fiber inspector it's essentially like a little camera that you can stick on to the end of fiber cables and look directly at them to see if they're dirty and it'll even do like a test to tell you for sure that that cable is clean just some standard i guess and you can even put it up your butt i mean technically that's a feature of pretty much anything yeah we try hard i mean you wouldn't really see anything it's very zoomed in we got our test set up as fiber inspector that's what we want here i just test stick the thing on the thing so yeah did you pop the dust cap up yeah stick it all the way on and then that ring there is to focus keep going keep going keep going thank you guys stop and so now that it's in focus click analyze and we can see that there's only one tiny defect but that's within the specification and it's okay it's cool though they even show you the zone so like right in the middle there you can see the white little white speck there that's actually the light that's coming through the fiber from the other end if you were to take like a light pen and shine it up there you'd have a big big white spot the actual like glass part is just this inner ring there and these are all just extra parts that are around it to protect it like part of the ferrule it's really really zoomed in for reference the part that we're looking at in the middle is only 62.5 microns that's tiny i guess i shouldn't look into this eh ah it's not that's a little laser not really oh okay it's a light how we doing well that one's kind of dirty so we're going to clean this one dirty dirty lad now you might think i'll just give it a yeah and clean it off with your shirt try cleaning it with your shirt or maybe your toque it's probably got some nice Linus juice on there now fortunately we have a little cleaning pen that's probably good okay the more you do it the more like staticky it gets it's probably just gonna be dirty um all right from what i was told usually you do once and if it's not enough then you do a couple more wow and look at that that's pretty clean so there's still some specks outside of the middle part but it shouldn't really matter yeah it still passes we're good to go does this thing cycle like a cleaning thing yeah there's like a little anti-static like cleaning towel thing in there a little a little piece of fancy string that's sick okay and then we're gonna plug this boy in oh no no we got it we gotta on baby yeah okay ah you can do it oh yeah she's good got it whoo nice not bad it's clean how are we gonna oh yeah i wish we had uh that's a pretty tight hole oh the top one's a little looser hold hold hold hold hold the door yeah you're good i don't want things to get too kinky here you know okay all right okay so the last thing we're going to do to verify our link is still working is a loss test that's basically going to make sure that we don't have too much signal loss for how long our cable is and it can also certify it for the specific application we're going to run it's not only going to tell us that two 15 meter cables that are coupled together have this specific amount of loss and that's within the budget that's good it's also going to certify it say for 100 gigabit so we'll say yes we want this cable to be able to do 100 gig and it'll tell us if according to how much coupling we have that it's an appropriate amount of loss but we're gonna need two split looms there you know that right why because we have two different computers oh that makes sense dummy all right so we're going to do 100 gig and we have one connection in the middle right we have one coupler and then we have the two air gaps at each end which is like where our reference cables will connect man an accidental sniff on the fiber at this point would be not a good time please no there's like a better way to do this but we're not doing it the better way it's gonna fall off now well it's not gonna fall out yeah it probably will it will not how's it gonna fall out it's all over the place okay just taking my tape off does not count as just having it fall out stop now that i've you know yeah but you're like like you can move it around you should have just wrapped it all the way around it's like extra effort to specifically make yeah but it saves tape and we are within the spec for a hundred gig even though we're only doing 25 so oh cool all right how about this one our loss is a little higher than i was expecting but our limit is 1.9 db and our loss was only like 0.4 i'm guessing it might be like a little dirty on this end because we didn't clean this end first but it's well within our margin so we're good success nice well that was a lot of learning but don't you guys worry because next time on LTT hopefully about a week or so from now we are finally going to get all of our editors down here in the renovated editing den and plugged into our fiber with our brand new server that we're calling new new one x server new new oneic and we're gonna use that to test the performance of the setup to
