WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:07.040 ah right oh okay i'm like tom cruise oh my 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.679 god i'm a short man with a big ego i mean i do my own stunts this this is 00:00:09.200 --> 00:00:14.000 copper networking cable copper's lame 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:21.279 this this looks nothing like the network cable in your house 00:00:17.440 --> 00:00:23.840 why because it carries data using light 00:00:21.279 --> 00:00:28.240 that's right ladies and gentlemen it's finally happening i have been chasing 00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:33.440 the perfect networked video editing setup since before i even founded Linus 00:00:30.400 --> 00:00:36.559 media group and the reason is simple it 00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:39.520 is a massive pain in the scrotum to toss 00:00:36.559 --> 00:00:44.239 around external drives use google drive or whatever it is that regular people do 00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:48.719 to share footage across multiple team members 00:00:45.120 --> 00:00:50.800 and when it's done properly 00:00:48.719 --> 00:00:56.000 network storage also helps protect your valuable data in the event of a drive 00:00:52.480 --> 00:00:59.680 failure now this project has been a huge 00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:01.520 undertaking but we learned a ton 00:00:59.680 --> 00:01:08.560 and we're going to be using the light from your monitor to network that info 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:11.520 straight into your brain world interface 00:01:08.560 --> 00:01:17.280 that's right we're going 25 gigabit to every one of our editing workstations 00:01:14.200 --> 00:01:20.400 100 gigabit to our servers and we are 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.040 telling you guys all about it 00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:27.520 holy wait really are we sponsored by 00:01:24.479 --> 00:01:29.040 solidworks wow holy to that too 00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:33.280 are you feeling stuck on your current project or waiting for your prototype to 00:01:31.119 --> 00:01:36.479 come off the 3d printer don't waste that time you should be learning from 00:01:34.880 --> 00:01:40.880 industry pros who make products using solidworks every single day this year's 00:01:38.799 --> 00:01:45.759 3d experience world is online and it's free to attend check it out at the link 00:01:42.720 --> 00:01:45.759 in the video description 00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:58.320 before we talk about the how of installing and using fiber it's 00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:03.439 important to understand why fiber is even necessary in the first 00:02:00.880 --> 00:02:08.479 place in both copper and fiber optic cabling information is transmitted by 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:12.800 changes in energy at a given frequency with copper Ethernet like rj45 cables 00:02:11.200 --> 00:02:17.520 the conversion of these changes in electrical energy to actual data on 00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:21.120 either end is handled by the device that you're plugging into 00:02:19.200 --> 00:02:24.400 that's why the devices tend to be expensive and the cables tend to be 00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:29.680 cheap in the case of fiber optics the cables 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:34.879 and devices can be relatively affordable but the transceivers which are used on 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:39.599 both ends to convert the changes in light to data can be an absolute money 00:02:37.840 --> 00:02:44.000 pit it's also worth noting here that your switch or network card can be fussy 00:02:41.920 --> 00:02:48.480 about the brand of transceiver you use kind of like printers that require 00:02:45.760 --> 00:02:52.400 pricey first party ink fortunately all of our gear got along nicely 00:02:50.480 --> 00:02:56.000 without getting into too much detail about the nerdiness that is cable 00:02:53.920 --> 00:03:00.959 signaling the main advantage to fiber optic cabling is that it can carry a 00:02:57.680 --> 00:03:02.800 signal over a much greater distance and 00:03:00.959 --> 00:03:07.120 at a higher frequency this is thanks to the very low signal 00:03:05.040 --> 00:03:10.800 power loss incurred by the glass inside the cabling itself 00:03:08.720 --> 00:03:15.280 it also has much greater resistance to interference because the light inside of 00:03:13.360 --> 00:03:19.760 a fiber optic cable isn't really susceptible to electromagnetic 00:03:17.120 --> 00:03:24.319 interference from heavy machinery or electrical lines etc 00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:29.760 now it's not that copper cabling can't do high speeds even in our server room 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:33.280 we have copper cables that run 100 gigabit 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:38.000 but those cables are usually limited to about 5 meters and if you move up to 400 00:03:36.640 --> 00:03:42.799 gigabit Ethernet yes that is a thing the longest copper 00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:47.920 cables you'll see top out around 3 meters or 10 feet that's nowhere near 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:53.840 long enough for our editors to plug in so we knew we needed fiber but 00:03:51.680 --> 00:03:58.000 fiber is the kind of rabbit hole where there's lots of documentation out there 00:03:55.920 --> 00:04:03.840 but all of it is designed for people who already know everything about it do we 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:08.640 need single mode or multi-mode lc or sc 00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:10.000 simplex or duplex om3 om4 om5 00:04:08.640 --> 00:04:15.599 so here we go the two main types of fiber are multi-mode and single mode and the main 00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:20.239 difference between them is the size of the core which is the actual glass that 00:04:18.239 --> 00:04:25.840 transmits the optical signals while single mode uses a very thin core 00:04:23.440 --> 00:04:30.080 isolating the light to a single beam multi mode has a much larger core 00:04:28.160 --> 00:04:33.600 allowing the light to reflect back and forth within it 00:04:31.360 --> 00:04:39.199 this allows multi-mode fiber to send light along several different paths or 00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:43.520 modes at the same time however when it comes to longer distances the multiple 00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:48.240 paths of light can cause distortion at the receiving end making it less ideal 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:52.080 for applications like that in practice multi-mode is usually 00:04:50.240 --> 00:04:57.360 reserved for up to about a hundred meters which means that inexpensive led 00:04:55.199 --> 00:05:01.600 or laser sources can be used to send light down the glass 00:04:58.880 --> 00:05:07.280 anything greater than that let's say 10 20 40 kilometers is typically single 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:10.880 mode and requires much more expensive solid-state lasers 00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:16.000 this means that for our application going from here to here we could use 00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:21.840 single mode but that would be really expensive and kind of stupid 00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:29.199 next up we've got the type of connector or termination lc sc fc st etc 00:05:26.960 --> 00:05:33.360 this one really comes down to your application or preference the 25 gigabit 00:05:32.000 --> 00:05:39.600 transceivers that we're going to be using from fs.com by the way 00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.600 thanksfs.com use lc fiber connections so 00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:45.840 naturally that's the type of cabling that we went with you can easily adapt 00:05:43.919 --> 00:05:51.280 between connection types so if you get the wrong cable it's not a huge concern 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:57.039 but there is one big note here re-terminating fiber cables in the field 00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.360 can be very expensive and time-consuming 00:05:57.039 --> 00:06:03.840 so whenever you can it's best to use pre-fabricated cables like what we got 00:06:01.680 --> 00:06:06.400 from our friends over at infinite cables thanks bros 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.919 then there is simplex versus duplex 00:06:09.520 --> 00:06:17.280 light can only be sent one direction at any given time so in most cases any 00:06:14.880 --> 00:06:22.400 fiber link is going to have two cables one for transmitting and one for 00:06:18.960 --> 00:06:26.240 receiving this is called duplex fiber 00:06:22.400 --> 00:06:29.199 however you can also get simplex fiber 00:06:26.240 --> 00:06:34.720 and run by die or bidirectional transceivers which make use of multiple 00:06:31.440 --> 00:06:36.639 modes of light each to send and receive 00:06:34.720 --> 00:06:40.160 over one cable these transceivers are much more 00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:44.880 expensive though so they're not much use to us but in the data 00:06:42.400 --> 00:06:48.400 center by eye can be used to increase density in fixed size conduits and patch 00:06:47.600 --> 00:06:54.319 panels and can also help with cable management 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:56.479 then there's the category of cabling for 00:06:54.319 --> 00:07:00.000 multi-mode there's om1 all the way through to om5 with the primary 00:06:58.319 --> 00:07:05.919 difference being the bandwidth and distance capability of each generation 00:07:02.880 --> 00:07:08.080 we went with om3 because it's cheap ish 00:07:05.919 --> 00:07:12.880 and has ample range for the relatively short runs to our editors 00:07:10.160 --> 00:07:16.160 so okay multi-mode duplex lc connector om3 fiber 00:07:14.240 --> 00:07:20.960 say that three times fast but enough of talking headlines let's take a look at 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:26.080 the actual deployment and maybe we'll even run and test a cable 00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:29.919 usually when you're working with this ultra thin stuff it's to save space in 00:07:28.080 --> 00:07:35.440 your conduit so that you can run more cables but we were mostly concerned with 00:07:32.560 --> 00:07:40.800 fitting the boot of the wire inside of our electrical boxes you'd also usually 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:46.319 run it in conduit or by cabling with some kind of shielding or protective 00:07:43.120 --> 00:07:48.400 cover but it's just gonna kind of hang 00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:53.520 out up in our drop ceiling so we weren't worried about the cables getting damaged 00:07:50.240 --> 00:07:56.720 over time and even if one did we did run 00:07:53.520 --> 00:07:59.120 copper to every station just in case and 00:07:56.720 --> 00:08:05.120 the server room happens to be just on the other side of this wall so 00:08:02.080 --> 00:08:07.599 it's not like we'd have to go very far 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:12.879 so from each of these keystone jacks right here ah there we go each editor oh 00:08:10.800 --> 00:08:17.759 thank you Jake we'll have a small patch cable like this running to the 25 00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:20.960 gigabit nick in their system shout out to melanox for providing those by the 00:08:19.360 --> 00:08:26.639 way we did a full video showing off their blazing fast speeds recently and 00:08:23.360 --> 00:08:28.800 then each of these will be protected by 00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:32.640 here we go there we go a small bit of split loom while the 00:08:31.039 --> 00:08:38.159 fiber lines in the office were run professionally there's one that we 00:08:35.680 --> 00:08:43.919 kind of forgot to do the one that goes from the server room here around where 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:49.600 the camera guys sit to overhear our ingest station some of our 00:08:47.040 --> 00:08:55.120 camera operators got a little dvd about using the mac minis so we're 00:08:52.399 --> 00:09:01.519 back to pc and what we discovered is that running 10 gig with two red megs 00:08:57.920 --> 00:09:03.360 plugged in actually saturates it so 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:07.040 ed was like hey can we have a fiber connection we were like hey 00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:11.920 we got you covered so the only thing here is we're working with like the extra scraps from that 00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:15.680 install so we might have to like couple two cables together 00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:18.800 but it's actually like fine fiber is really easy to couple so how should we 00:09:17.519 --> 00:09:24.080 start this do you think i guess we have to start on one end yeah kinda so we already have 00:09:22.480 --> 00:09:27.920 wire mold that runs across all the way down to here 00:09:26.160 --> 00:09:30.959 but then it pops back into the wall like right there for some reason oh weird so 00:09:29.920 --> 00:09:35.200 i guess we can have it come out of here and then we'll just like tape some split 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:39.279 loom to it i think yeah okay blue loom is like this corrugated plastic stuff 00:09:36.720 --> 00:09:42.399 that's split and it's a wire loom so you put wires in it to sort of protect them 00:09:40.959 --> 00:09:49.399 or keep them organized in the case of fiber you like don't want people to damage it is there 00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:49.399 a reason this computer goes backwards 00:09:54.880 --> 00:10:00.480 i think if we have the split loom come up we can like tape it or 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:03.040 LTT Store cable tie it to like right here and then just a little bit of fiber 00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:07.920 will come out i absolutely hate everything about what i'm looking 00:10:06.160 --> 00:10:13.839 at right now you got to be gentle with this stuff eh i will i know but it's not 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:17.360 it's not easy what are the odds this fiber cable still 00:10:15.440 --> 00:10:21.279 works by the time we're done i give it at least eighty percent eighty 00:10:19.360 --> 00:10:26.640 percent yeah and you want that to go into the cable 00:10:24.160 --> 00:10:29.839 dude adam and jig there yeah oh my god we have to move the shelf how the hell 00:10:28.079 --> 00:10:34.210 are we gonna move the shelf three two one 00:10:31.680 --> 00:10:35.360 oh man um that should probably be enough 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:41.600 hey okay all right all right here i'm gonna pass this up to you well should i 00:10:39.519 --> 00:10:44.959 just like climb on the shelf i guess i i don't know how how strong you think this 00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:49.279 pebbly case is very 00:10:47.040 --> 00:10:51.360 oh wow there's like a open wall socket here 00:10:50.240 --> 00:10:56.880 you should probably tell Yvonne about that i think this is a fire bell are you 00:10:54.880 --> 00:11:00.640 gonna take this at some point what hello hold on i gotta tell you 00:10:59.040 --> 00:11:05.600 vaughn about this hi oh watermelon sugar 00:11:04.160 --> 00:11:09.519 okay you're still good you're still good 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:15.760 are are you gonna start putting it in there i mean i don't know a little bit 00:11:12.640 --> 00:11:17.120 i mean okay that's about the right 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:21.200 length i think i don't think this shelf is going anywhere so i'm just gonna oh 00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:24.880 okay i'm on the shelf now yeah good i guess 00:11:24.000 --> 00:11:28.560 um are you all the way to the top 00:11:27.040 --> 00:11:30.720 it's not it's not quite it's a little warm 00:11:31.279 --> 00:11:38.160 i think that's good enough for now okay where's the oh geez 00:11:35.920 --> 00:11:40.800 oh gosh some people use ladders i think you should just climb up here to do this 00:11:39.680 --> 00:11:45.440 whole part all right i'm just gonna throw this over there oh wait we were supposed to do two two why two uh 00:11:44.320 --> 00:11:50.079 because there's two ingest stations going here all right all right get on back down there well why do i have to 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.160 get down there because you're the little one i'm gonna tape this one up here 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:59.839 hold on and just pass me the roll of tape uh nope hey can you pass me the 00:11:56.320 --> 00:12:03.200 roll of tape can i can you wait a second 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:05.760 zoomers man they're so impatient damn 00:12:03.200 --> 00:12:09.760 boomers they're so slow your mom's a boomer i don't even think 00:12:07.680 --> 00:12:12.880 she is i drop the tape are you there you want to open up the thing yeah you wanna 00:12:10.959 --> 00:12:15.839 pass me the thing well you gotta open up the thing first don't give me the thing 00:12:14.240 --> 00:12:18.880 first how about fine here here's your thing 00:12:17.360 --> 00:12:22.959 i can't believe we're running fiber straight to the backs of the ingest 00:12:20.880 --> 00:12:26.399 stations this is kind of crazy what were you thinking instead 00:12:24.560 --> 00:12:30.639 i just thought they'd run Ethernet where's my fiber in my office 00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:32.880 okay now climb up here and do your thing let's 00:12:33.040 --> 00:12:38.399 sometimes i wonder who's actually in charge here 00:12:36.079 --> 00:12:42.800 okay it's not gonna fall right can you hold it i'm i'm holding it right now 00:12:41.440 --> 00:12:46.800 i'm holding it braced against this one you're fine plus this one is like in the way so it's 00:12:45.680 --> 00:12:50.399 like fine oh god 00:12:48.800 --> 00:12:54.720 okay all right i'm gonna i'm gonna get down now you have fun up here 00:12:53.200 --> 00:12:59.680 see you later maybe we should have tested these cables before we put them in there yeah it probably wouldn't have 00:12:57.279 --> 00:13:04.000 been a terrible idea i need some tape or you're just closing it oh yeah 00:13:01.920 --> 00:13:07.200 just gotta not pinch it too hard there we go 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:11.279 man i'm like the pinch off king is that what you told me i'm pinching off the 00:13:08.959 --> 00:13:15.839 thing here i'm lightest tech tips hi i'm coming to you from the top of the shelf 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:19.760 uh we got some great news up here the lights are the lights are they're warm 00:13:17.839 --> 00:13:23.839 but they're not hot you know it's too hot up here with my LTT Store stealth 00:13:22.079 --> 00:13:27.040 hoodie you know why he wears the toque so he doesn't have to do his hair 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:34.160 exposed hashtag Linus i think i need 00:13:31.760 --> 00:13:37.760 like a flathead or something uh you have keys on you uh yes 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:42.000 oh you do have a knife yeah that's enough what is the cycle 00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:47.040 it's a ladybug i don't want to break the knife yeah why 00:13:44.079 --> 00:13:55.440 don't we use let's use the flathead uh very graceful dennis well no that was 00:13:49.760 --> 00:13:55.440 my keys that wasn't me yet oh god uh 00:13:57.040 --> 00:14:04.000 where is it there it is okay there we go not so bad so how far are we 00:14:02.240 --> 00:14:07.440 going to make it here we might make it like pretty much to there most of the 00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:13.680 way which is good actually because then if the coupler i'd rather the coupler not be in the wire mold yeah okay wait 00:14:11.680 --> 00:14:18.079 how did i end up on top of the ladder oh no Jake i'm stuck on top of the shelf 00:14:16.560 --> 00:14:21.600 you're gonna have to get the ladder and climb the ladder he can't resist the 00:14:19.680 --> 00:14:25.120 damsel in distress the damsel oh boy 00:14:23.760 --> 00:14:29.279 damn incel you know for a fact i'm not celibate 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:34.720 you've met my children oh yeah that sounded worse than it was 00:14:31.600 --> 00:14:37.040 yeah no no not like that 00:14:34.720 --> 00:14:40.240 you ready yeah give me that oh god 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:45.360 that wasn't very graceful okay hold on we can do more graceful than that 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:50.399 right all right oh okay not graceful but it works if it works like twerks you 00:14:47.600 --> 00:14:54.079 know can i can i climb it this time oh you want to go up here yeah uh if i come 00:14:52.399 --> 00:14:58.160 down i'm not going back up you got long arms right um yeah i don't know if i'd 00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:00.959 describe myself as a long-armed boy you better watch that sprinkler all right 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:05.519 yeah yeah i'll try not to punch it too hard this is very unpleasant isn't it 00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.440 doesn't it suck oh my god oh 00:15:06.480 --> 00:15:13.600 hey fortunately my t-shirt is also LTT stored 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:19.120 it's not exertion sweat it's like stress sweat like the really stinky sweat 00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.720 i'm like tom cruise oh my god i'm a short man with a big ego i mean i do my 00:15:20.959 --> 00:15:25.920 own stunts there's one more grievance we didn't talk about previously in the 00:15:24.160 --> 00:15:31.360 video and that's that you can't get the end of these cables dirty if there's any 00:15:28.560 --> 00:15:35.360 speck of dust or you know like sweat or whatever grease grease stuck on the end 00:15:33.920 --> 00:15:39.120 of the ferrule that's at the end of the fiber cable it can actually block your 00:15:37.199 --> 00:15:42.000 signal and result in a connection that doesn't work fortunately our friends 00:15:40.639 --> 00:15:47.040 over at fluke sent us over to one of their server fibers this is like a 20 00:15:44.079 --> 00:15:51.120 000 fiber tester thanks fluke thanks fluke one of the coolest features with 00:15:48.720 --> 00:15:54.720 this thing is their fiber inspector it's essentially like a little camera that 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:58.639 you can stick on to the end of fiber cables and look directly at them to see 00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.600 if they're dirty and it'll even do like a test to 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:06.000 tell you for sure that that cable is clean just some standard i guess and you can 00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:10.639 even put it up your butt i mean technically that's a feature of pretty much anything yeah we try hard i mean 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:16.480 you wouldn't really see anything it's very zoomed in we got our test set up as 00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:19.920 fiber inspector that's what we want here i just test stick the thing on the thing 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:24.720 so yeah did you pop the dust cap up yeah stick it all the way on and then that ring there is to focus 00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:29.759 keep going keep going keep going thank you guys stop 00:16:27.759 --> 00:16:33.759 and so now that it's in focus click analyze 00:16:31.600 --> 00:16:38.880 and we can see that there's only one tiny defect but that's within 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:41.920 the specification and it's okay it's cool though they even show you the 00:16:40.240 --> 00:16:45.680 zone so like right in the middle there you can see the white little white speck 00:16:44.160 --> 00:16:50.959 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 00:16:48.720 --> 00:16:55.680 and shine it up there you'd have a big big white spot the actual like glass 00:16:53.839 --> 00:16:59.199 part is just this inner ring there and these are all just extra parts that are 00:16:57.759 --> 00:17:03.440 around it to protect it like part of the ferrule it's really really zoomed in for 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:09.439 reference the part that we're looking at in the middle is only 62.5 microns 00:17:07.280 --> 00:17:14.160 that's tiny i guess i shouldn't look into this eh ah it's not that's a little 00:17:11.360 --> 00:17:17.280 laser not really oh okay it's a light how we doing well that one's kind of 00:17:15.439 --> 00:17:20.959 dirty so we're going to clean this one dirty dirty lad now you might think i'll 00:17:19.760 --> 00:17:25.439 just give it a yeah and clean it off with your shirt try cleaning it with your shirt or maybe 00:17:23.760 --> 00:17:28.319 your toque it's probably got some nice Linus juice on there 00:17:29.840 --> 00:17:34.799 now fortunately we have a little cleaning pen 00:17:33.200 --> 00:17:38.000 that's probably good okay the more you do it the more like 00:17:36.640 --> 00:17:43.840 staticky it gets it's probably just gonna be dirty um all right 00:17:41.120 --> 00:17:46.480 from what i was told usually you do once and if it's not enough then you do a 00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:50.720 couple more wow and look at that that's pretty clean so 00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:53.120 there's still some specks outside of the middle part but it shouldn't really 00:17:52.080 --> 00:17:57.919 matter yeah it still passes we're good to go does 00:17:55.919 --> 00:18:01.360 this thing cycle like a cleaning thing yeah there's like a little anti-static 00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:05.039 like cleaning towel thing in there a little a little piece of fancy string 00:18:03.600 --> 00:18:09.120 that's sick okay and then we're gonna plug this boy 00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.120 in 00:18:10.320 --> 00:18:16.080 oh no no we got it we gotta 00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:20.320 on baby yeah okay ah you can do it oh yeah she's good 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:24.720 got it whoo nice not bad it's clean 00:18:22.880 --> 00:18:29.080 how are we gonna oh yeah i wish we had uh 00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:38.160 that's a pretty tight hole oh the top one's a little looser hold hold hold 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:43.120 hold hold the door yeah you're 00:18:40.840 --> 00:18:46.400 good i don't want things to get too kinky here you know 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:51.120 okay all right okay so the last thing we're going to do 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:54.960 to verify our link is still working is a loss test that's basically going to make 00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:58.400 sure that we don't have too much signal loss for how long our cable is and it 00:18:56.880 --> 00:19:03.440 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 00:19:01.520 --> 00:19:06.799 cables that are coupled together have this specific amount of loss and that's 00:19:04.960 --> 00:19:10.799 within the budget that's good it's also going to certify it say for 100 gigabit 00:19:09.039 --> 00:19:14.240 so we'll say yes we want this cable to be able to do 100 gig and it'll tell us 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:17.520 if according to how much coupling we have that it's an appropriate amount of 00:19:15.919 --> 00:19:22.960 loss but we're gonna need two split looms there you know that right why because we have two different computers 00:19:20.080 --> 00:19:28.400 oh that makes sense dummy all right so we're going to do 100 gig 00:19:25.679 --> 00:19:31.919 and we have one connection in the middle right we 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:36.160 have one coupler and then we have the two air gaps at each end which is like 00:19:33.760 --> 00:19:40.480 where our reference cables will connect man an accidental sniff on the fiber at 00:19:38.160 --> 00:19:43.760 this point would be not a good time please no there's like a better way to 00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:47.200 do this but we're not doing it the better way it's gonna fall off now 00:19:45.919 --> 00:19:50.640 well it's not gonna fall out yeah it probably will it will not how's it gonna 00:19:48.960 --> 00:19:54.799 fall out it's all over the place okay just taking my tape off does not count 00:19:52.880 --> 00:20:01.280 as just having it fall out stop now that i've you know yeah but you're like 00:19:57.919 --> 00:20:02.480 like you can move it around 00:20:01.280 --> 00:20:06.880 you should have just wrapped it all the way around it's like extra effort to 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.559 specifically make yeah but it saves tape and we are within 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:14.160 the spec for a hundred gig even though we're only doing 25 so oh cool 00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:20.080 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 00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:23.280 only like 0.4 i'm guessing it might be like a little dirty on this end because 00:20:21.360 --> 00:20:27.600 we didn't clean this end first but it's well within our margin so we're 00:20:24.720 --> 00:20:31.840 good success nice well that was a lot of learning but don't you guys worry 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:36.640 because next time on LTT hopefully about a week or so from now we are finally 00:20:34.480 --> 00:20:40.799 going to get all of our editors down here in the renovated editing den and 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:44.720 plugged into our fiber with our brand new server that we're calling new new 00:20:42.880 --> 00:20:48.400 one x server new new oneic 00:20:46.799 --> 00:20:52.880 and we're gonna use that to test the performance of the setup to see if all 00:20:50.080 --> 00:20:55.840 of this work was even worth it at all lmao you know what's definitely worth it 00:20:55.039 --> 00:21:01.440 though creating a beautiful website with
