When we expanded our space to give the Creator Warehouse merge team their own
building, I outright refused to get them
their own internet connection. Which sounds unreasonable until you consider
my perspective. I already pay for
commercial internet right over there. A
line that actually has to run through the demark in this building. So why
should I pay for a second internet connection? That's why we set up a
Ubiquiti Air Fiber XG, a dish setup that
allows you to wirelessly beam internet between two locations at speeds of up to
6 GB per second, which sounds great,
right? And to be fair, they are pretty
great when they're set up properly. We just aren't wireless install techs and
we made the mistake of mounting them on poles that are so short that the
wireless signals flying between the dishes hit the side of the building on
the way which actually limits us to about 16th of the theoretical max. Now
we could fix this with some taller dishes but the proper solution is always
going to be hardwired. The question is just
how? And the other question is who will
sponsor this video? XSplit. Level up your live streams with simple yet
effective broadcasting and video production tools for use on platforms
like Twitch and YouTube. Check out XSplit at the link below and use code
Lionus for 69% off your first purchase or subscription. Funny number, but it's
real. So, our first thoughts were not
going to lie, pretty jank. See, the electrical mechanical room for this
building, which is actually the one for this entire three building complex, is
right here. Literally 25 paces, a stones
throw, or a wrench's throw, as it were,
from our building across the parking lot. So, it did occur to us to just
string a wire between the two buildings or hack a micro trench into the parking
lot and hope that nobody complained. But
believe it or not, we've been trying to get away from Jenk lately. Thankfully,
there's a solution. Because this is a threebuilding development, there's
already conduit between the main mechanical electrical room here and the
one in our building. We just have to
find it. Oh, well, it's this one. Obviously, it's not going to be quite
that simple, though. You see that conduit goes to the very opposite end of
our building, which is not where our unit is. Also, I couldn't help noticing
it's really full. How the devil are we
going to do this? Oh, we don't need that for that. That's
to go to create a warehouse from here. There's already fiber that goes over to
our building. Yeah, but aren't we using it? Sort of. This giant cable, which looks
suspiciously like the one we ran through the woods, is where the fiber comes into
the complex. It runs up into this distribution box where the fiber is
actually terminated. These two cables here, because we have our own dedicated
wavelength, are our internet. These other ones are for everyone else in this
building. In fact, our old connection actually breaks off of it here. You can
see Linus Media. Uh, this is plugged in and doing nothing.
Sick. Yeah. Our dedicated wavelength runs over
this really thin cable, loops around there over
to this guy. That giant box just has a switch and a battery backup in it.
Can confirm is battery backup is fiber
optic network switch. Here's the upstream to the provider that we showed
you before. And then here's our downstream fiber pair which comes out
here and goes into this box which
actually raises some questions even for me. This is a switch
with just one thing in and one thing out. Isn't that just a cable with extra
steps? Yeah, I think they do like their speed limiting and stuff in there, like
routing. And I see. So, this is not to our benefit.
This is so that they can control our shizz. Yeah, got it. Okay, fine. Then,
why don't we get to the part where Jake said sort of. In this box, the fiber cable from the
switch is coupled into the big cable that runs over to the studio. You can
even see on this helpful label 12 single mode fibers. Hey, that's a lot of
fibers. Yeah, it's uh 10 more than we're using
right now. You can actually see it says fibers 03 to 12 are dark. That means
they're not in use, which is great. We can just terminate a couple of those
fibers and we don't even have to run a cable, right?
It's not what you told me before we started this. Yeah, it's not. Uh we don't own this
cable. And while we probably could get permission to use it, there is an easier
way. This right here is a perfectly ordinary single mode duplex fiber optic
cable. It's got two strands in it, one for send and one for receive. But the
thing is single mode fiber can carry many wavelengths of light at the same
time without hurting the signal. That means instead of using two fibers to run
from our ISP switch to our rack, we
could install a special birectional
transceiver. Woo. That uses a separate
wavelength of light on the same fiber for transmit and receive. That's going
to free up the second fiber on our existing cable. So, the part that we are
actually allowed to be using for us to send internet back from the other
building over to Creator Warehouse.
Well, sort of just just to here. Well, to here, we still got to run the
cable. That's why we have this to go from here to there. Yeah, that's
going to be fun. Don't worry about it. Question for you. This seems like the kind of thing that's
going to knock out everyone's internet access. When has that ever bothered you before?
What is going on here? What the heck? There's like 40 people in this building.
I can put them on the backup. Yeah. Oh, right. Okay. Yes, we actually do
have backup internet now. It's so cheap. Is there a reason we don't just use the
backup? It's not commercial grade blah
blah. For like 120 bucks a month, we can get internet that's faster than what we
paid like five grand a month for here when we first moved in. There we go. Done. We're on the backup.
In theory, the connection automatically fails over anyways. It's just that it
takes like 15 seconds. Nope. So, I just forced it. I set the backup
as the priority one. Hopefully, nobody notices. Hopefully, nobody was in the middle of
an upload. Uh, we could have checked that.
Anyone middle of an upload? Anyone uploading?
To where? to to where these people to
the internet.
Nope. No. I mean, is your computer working? Yes.
Then no. Okay.
See you later. Nobody was uploading anything. We're all good.
Uh, sort of. There's still activity on the WAN. And I was thinking about what
could this be? It's parseek because it's
port forwarded to that specific WAN interface. And then on top of that in
Parseek you have to like define your external IP. So any editors that are working off site
right now are gonna get kicked off. I see. How quickly can we have this up
and running? Can we just ask them to take lunch? Yeah, in theory it should only take the
amount of time that it takes to put that transceiver in. In theory.
Hey, I lied. Uh Parseek doesn't work right
now. I think they had scheduled maintenance. Oh, so Parseek was already broken. Yes.
Cool. See you later. Let's move on. Okay. Do you want to go over there? And
are we doing this like uh you know nuclear, you know?
Do you trust yourself to uncip the like
LC duplex clip? Like take the two fibers apart? I've never done it before, so I'm
I'm just going to yolo it. But okay, cool. That's That's the answer I needed.
Um you need the transceivers, which are in
Creator Warehouse, so you should grab those. Cool. Our site's still working. Robert's
I haven't disconnected it yet. It will stop working. Okay, I'll let Robert now.
It's not hard for him to act exasperated and walk away from me. He's just like that all the time.
Um, wait. Well, I can't just take one of these. They're not like duplex connectors in
that you can just use whichever one on either end. Oh, are they?
Think about it, right? If you're transmitting and receiving on different
wavelengths, if you did transmit on the same wavelength on both sides, you would
be shining light into light and then the receiving on both sides
would be getting nothing and they would actually potentially burn each other out. That is really a thing.
So lasers swapped.
So they're kind of paired but not really. U these are all one side.
Oh, I see. So you see it says 1270 1330. The other
side is 1330 1270. Makes sense.
Yes. Um, so if you're going to use birectional fiber transceivers, pay
attention to that. Make sure you don't order all the same ones because they will not work.
All right, cool. Lots of cool stuff coming over here in
Creator Warehouse. We've got the RGB shirt in charcoal. And hey, let's leak
that. Matthew, can I have that? Yeah. Oh, the laptop bag is going to be so
awesome. Luggage strap, magnets.
It's gonna fit 14inch laptops, even with a big caboose. Look at all that wire
holding and wire management. Oh, okay. I don't want to talk about the 16inch one
yet. I guess that's leaked now, too. Anyway, the point is here they are.
Fiber optic transceivers. Were the guys over here complaining
about the internet speeds? Complaining? Uh, no. I don't think so.
Matthew, have you guys actually had internet reliability issues over here or
It turns off and on here and there. Oh, I haven't been having any problems with
the speed, but also don't do anything too crazy. So,
I see. I didn't realize that it cut out from time to Okay, well, that explains
why we're doing this. Cool. I thought Jake was just like, "Oh, this is cool. I
want to make a video." Um, which is fine, too. Are we going to need these
attenuators? Jake didn't mention anything, but when you have overpowered
transceivers, these can help to knock down the signal strength a little bit to
keep them from burning each other out. But um I don't know if you didn't say
anything then I guess I'm not going to bother.
What could go wrong? What could go wrong? My company could have no internet
the whole thing. Woo. I'm trusting Jake.
Hello. Hello. Hello. Okay, there's one more thing to mention.
Oh, do I need the attenuators? We shouldn't need it right away because
it's in theory in spec. There's a bunch of couplings in the chain already. So
there there's already going to be a decent amount of signal loss, but yeah.
Okay. So, are you gonna unplug yours now?
I mean, that is plenty. Quick cue for
you. Oh, wait. No, I'm in the wrong box. Wait, what do you mean? How are you in
what box are you in? You should just be the switch.
Yeah, the switch. And you're taking not the upstream one, the downstream one.
No, I'm in the switch box. Yeah.
You weren't before, eh? Oh, yeah, I was. Oh, yeah.
Yep. Okay. Well, I'm just keeping my ladder exactly where
it was. Yeah. You didn't move a ladder, right? No. Let me just get all my pieces aligned
here. I need to have these ready because the last thing that we want is to
accidentally get these fibers dirty or
damage them. So, I'm just going to without touching the very ends, pop
those little caps on. All right, our internet is now down. It's out.
Oh, he unplugged it. Okay, we're going. Oh no. Oh god.
Now I'm going to pop out the transceiver that was in there.
What are you talking about, Jake? Are you talking right now?
I'm having problems. I'm going to mute now. Bye. And I'm the one who needs adult
supervision. You see this one fiber's coming out?
Yeah. I couldn't push the lock down and it was really hard to get out. Now I'm
going to pop it out of the duplex clip. Just like that. Which fiber are you
going to use? the left hand one or the right hand one? I was going to ask you, uh, they're
colorcoded, so why don't we just go with blue? No, they're not. They're not colorcoded
on my side because there's like four different cables in between here and
there. Oh my god. So, just use the left hand one, assuming
that you didn't take them out without realizing which is which position.
Left from what orientation, Jake? Well, like if you're looking at it
plugged in. Okay, let's orient based on the clip. Your finger is on the release. Yeah. And
I'm staring at my thumbnail. My thumb is on the release and I'm looking at my
thumbnail. The left the left hand one. The left hand one.
I mean, we'll find out. My right hand, though. Oh my god. Okay, great. That's cool. I
believe you can figure it out. Do I have to break it to get it out?
I've never done this before. What? What?
You're lying. Shut up.
What do you mean break it? How would you How would you break it? You have to take
a fiber out. I'm uh I'm going to plug my side in. So,
okay. Take this guy.
Plug it in. Oh, it touched the end of the metal. That was bad. There we go.
What's the problem? I am just trying to figure out how to get this apart without breaking
anything. Okay. Well, I'm plugged in. I'm going to come over there now. Sure.
Before we go over there and help him, I'm going to plug in this other transceiver. This is a 25 gig
transceiver that's going to be providing the internet back to Creator Warehouse so we don't have to come back here and
do it again later. And then we're going to plug this into
our 25 gig Dell switch here.
There we go. See, I've got my one fiber
and I just put that bad boy in there.
You figured out yet? Oh, yeah. I was just calling you. You don't answer your phone.
Oh, that's fine. I don't see a link. Oh, that's not good. I can try the other
side. Oh, yeah. Wait, hold on a second. Hey, there we go.
Oh, really? Yeah. No, we're done. Because if you have two ends of a cable, it would be
the opposite. That would be the corresponding one. Yeah, that makes sense.
Hey, Matt. Oh, so it's working. So, it's working. Yeah, we have a link.
So, you can leave that one. That's already plugged in on the other side. Wait, this is already plugged in on the
other side. Yeah, I figured it might as well because rather than coming back.
I was going to tell you I only have one CI. These are both GE.
Yeah, this the CI is for Sienna, which is the
brand of switch. Okay. Um fs.com sells transceivers and all the different
switch brands. And in theory, a lot of them don't care and you can just use the
generic, which is what GE stands for. Um I just picked Sienna so we hopefully
wouldn't have problems. I thought that was the coding for the wavelengths.
No. Okay, let me wrap my brain around this. We're doing send and receive.
That's our internet. That's our internet. This is Creator
Warehouses internet connection from over there. Back, right? So, I have to plug this into
nothing. Something a cable. Do we have a coupler? Yes.
Oh, it's working though, right? Yeah.
I guess I could just go check. Uh, we should probably put an attenuator in
there now that it's working though. Do you have attenuators there? I No, I left them over there.
Okay. Uh, how much do you want? I was just going to do two because we already should be
within range cuz like every coupler which if you think about it there's at
least three maybe four is going to have a little bit of loss. So I was thinking
2 dB would be fine. I mean we could do five. See if it works. If it works then
we're good. As I mentioned before an overpowered transceiver can burn out the
unit on the other side. So since these are 10 km transceivers if we put a 5 del
attenuator. So that is intentionally causing 5 dB of signal loss. Um that
should help to prevent any kinds of burning out mishaps over the longer
term. And we're linked just like that.
And I'm apparently supposed to figure out which of these conduits goes to the
creator warehouse unit. Something we could do is we could go to the other
side and see what color and
characteristics the pull cord has. We got blinky lights. Look at that. It's
online. That's the backup. That's the main one. I can't believe this worked.
Okay, now we change it back and hope that nothing works. Hey, look at that.
The speed test servers here aren't really fast enough to do the full 10 gig, but it's working. Wow. I can't
believe we just unplugged our internet and didn't take everyone's internet
down. That's so cool. Oh. Oh, Jesus. Wow. He's He's really He's into it. He's
in the He's not even in there anymore.
That conduit doesn't actually go to the
electrical room here. Okay.
I didn't even tell him where the conduit comes out. Um
I hope he's figured that out himself, but maybe in here.
Is it bad to waste lines of time like this? Like I feel a bit bad just from
the time wasting aspect, but he would totally do something like this to me. So
then I feel much less bad, you know? You figured out yet
where the conduit is. Is this a bad time to tell you I already know which conduit it is?
It's under the sink. You were on track though. Were you following the fiber
cable? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Look at how how professional that install is.
Oh wow. Look, it come it comes down here. You
can see the fiber box. Oh my god. This is just hanging on.
Are we not going to fix this plumbing? Who did this?
Which part? The bucket or the fiber? Completely unprotected fibers are just
hanging here. Good old uh Telus techs.
I don't believe Telus did this. Really? No, they screwed it into something.
In theory, we could have just used Telus' existing fiber, but then, you
know, we don't really own that. So, Oh, yeah. Why don't we just do that,
Jake? Well, because I want to pull I want to do it properly.
Because I want to pull fiber. That was the real answer. And then he corrected
himself. Um, so the you see the orange and white string in there on you see how
there's like three conduits. Is the box open right now or no? No. LTD screwdriver. ltstore.com. Let's
go. Kind of wish I had the stubby right now, though.
It's weird for you to wish to be shorter. Hey.
And I just start pulling on this, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Should we
pull both fiber cables? Like just No. I don't think there's any reason to, cuz
we're only going to use one of them anyways. Great. Okay. See you in a few.
Okay. So, there's a few things to keep in mind when you're pulling a cable through a conduit. Unfortunately,
this cable was supposed to come with pull loops, which would just be like a
little plastic or steel thing that's integrated into the cable to make it
easy to pull. Uh, it doesn't look like they got made with those. So, instead,
we're just going to electrical tape the pull cable to the cable and hope that it
doesn't come off. The other thing to keep in mind, when you're pulling the cable through, you are using your pull
cord. This pull cord is going to come all the way out and there's no longer
going to be a pull cord in there. So, we need to pull one with the new cable at
the same time. So, we take the pull cord out and we're replacing it with a new
one. Hello.
Hi. Okay, I'm going to pull on this a little
bit. Hold on. Hold on. No, it's not
still tied. I untied it. So, do not just start reefing on it. Okay, I've got a
good grip. Okay, I'm just going to pull a little bit just to
You feel that? Nope. You feel that?
Nope. You're lying. Not lying.
How about you pull it from your side then? Okay.
See anything, brother? I did this yesterday. You're justing with me.
I'm not. Pull more.
There we go. Now it's moving. Pull more. Okay,
there we go. Okay, this is the right one. Beautiful. Okay, stop pulling. I
got to do some taping here. So, just give me a minute. I'm going to start by
taping these fiber ends because this is the the most important part. We don't
want to damage. I don't want these caps to come off while we're pulling it. And
I don't want to rip the connector off. Do we have any lube? Like yellow 77 or
whatever. There was very little resistance when I tried this, so I think it's probably
okay. Okay. I would strongly recommend using
lubricant if you're pulling cable through conduit, though. makes it a lot
easier. And you can get these like very low residue ones that won't break down
the sheathing of the cable or anything like that. Um, yeah, and if you don't have it, basic
hand soap is a really good option. So, I tied it between the two pairs which are
protected with electrical tape. And then I'm going to wrap it like crazy. You
really, really do not want this to come off uh mid pull cuz then you are
out of luck. You ready? Uh, almost. I just got to tie up the uh
the twine, the replacement pull cord. Take your time. Got all day.
What? What? What' you say? What?
Okay. Do you want to pull a little bit now? You know, Jake, there is a fair bit of
tension on this. That's okay. It's moving smooth on my
side. Okay. We should have lubed this.
We can lube it if you want. We should lube it.
Oh god. Like dish soap. Uh
yeah, this should be fine.
We're lubing her up. All right. Can I start pulling?
It's nice and lubed. All right, just keep lubing it.
I put lots of lube in the hole. Don't worry. Oh, wow. This is definitely
slow down. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. And just tangled up here.
Hold on. Okay. Wow. It really does slide nice now, eh?
Oh yeah, bud. Oh boy. Oh, this is not good.
I don't really want to have to unspool 200 ft to untangle this. But
Oh, Jake. Yeah, I was kind of thinking we just go out the door.
Jake. Jake. Jake. I'm not angry, son. I'm disappointed.
Look, it could have just been wrongly wrapped from the factory, but then I
would have to be mad at Infinite Cable, and we all know that that's not possible. No, it's definitely not
possible. Probably because we were shaking it around before we shot a
bunch. Oh, I see. What I'm trying to say is it's your Oh, I see.
Yeah, it's your fault. So, I see. I see. So, this is on me now.
Yeah, 100%. Okay, we're done. Okay, we're good.
Hey. All right. Really? Did you just do that? He took the whole neatly spooled
thing that we just did and he just dropped. He just threw it on the floor.
Should be fine. I'm in position. Okay,
you can start pulling now.
Can you imagine there was like two more feet? Yeah.
Come on, buddy. Anytime you're ready. Hold on. I think
something might be coming through. It's a boy.
It's really wet. Yeah. Well, I poured it in the hole, so Oh, how the hell am I
supposed to get this undone with it all slippery like this?
Gee whizzers. Might have overdone it a little bit. The
question now remains. How do we get it from here to the closet?
No, you know the answer to that. What this? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. But um see about that. No, stop. You know.
No, I don't. Shut up. This is UPC. You see how it's green?
Oh, that's an angled connector. They use that on passive optical networks like um
when you have fiber to the home, it's a passive optical network. They use that so it doesn't shine back like reflect
back off the connector. This does not. So, if you put them together, it won't
work. And I did order an adapter, but it doesn't look like it showed up. For now,
we can try it by moving the switch over
here. Or we pulled this all the way over there. I was thinking we just move the
switch here. Um Oh, god. J.
Just plug the switch in here. It's fine. No. Yeah, but we can't put the switch
here just for like a day or two until the adapter.
Do you know how many times we've deployed something for a day or two? Well, then we won't deploy it. We'll
unplug it after. Do you have a patch cable that we could at least just like
run in a not awful way over there? Oh, yeah.
Why don't we just do that then? It's not going to be any worse than what they
did. Yeah. Yeah. Run it along the baseboard up here
and over here and over here and down here and through here or something.
Oh. Uh, it's not coupled. We got to grab a coupler. I'm going to
come back and do this properly later, but for now, we're just going to couple
our cable into our extra little fiber up there. Put our fiber into the coupler.
That one side still has a cap on it for now. And then take this guy and plug it
into there. So, I'm on the
right side, the white side on this side.
There we go. Okay. I couldn't find another coupler, so I'm going to do something naughty and steal it from this
box. Thanks, ISP. Appreciate you. Don't tell
anyone I did that. Wait, where's the coupler? No. Jeez.
Okay, awesome. Uh, we need a transceiver. I will go get one.
The existing switches we have over here, these UniFi Enterprise 48s don't have 25
gig. So, we're going to put in an XG24
Enterprise, uh, which is a 24 port, 10 gig switch with two 25 gig ports. Um,
and then from here, we can kind of patch over. We can use two 10 gig links to to
give 20 gigs of connectivity between here and these or whatever we want to
do. We also might just not put this switch here and just have a 10 gig link
between the buildings. It's, you know, they've been operating on gigabit for
over a year and it's been fine. Um, so
25 gig is it's probably overkill, but it
right. Okay, I should be a pro at this now. Pretty smooth. The last time took a lot longer.
Ready? Oh jeez. Scratch the feral. Sorry.
Let's catch you guys up. Jake moved the switch out of the network closet because
this direct attach copper cable is not
very long and we needed to plug it into this computer. And this is a 25 gig
Vick. Yes, sir. All right, let's see it running at full
speed. Yeah, the connection's actually working now. That's another update. Oh, yeah. Cool.
Oh, yeah. What happened? When you're using like 25, 50, 100 gig, you run into forward error correction
when you're running at those crazy speeds. And they expect forward error
correction mode 74. And the Dell by default defaults to nothing.
Cool. So, usually with a direct attach cable, it doesn't matter. When you start to move to actual optics,
got it. Then it matters. So, we set it CL 74.
You can see right there. Nice. And it worked. I didn't put an
attenuator in there yet, but we can see the receive power is minus 2 dB. And if
you look at the product page, the overload happens at two. So, we should
be okay. We could put a we'll probably put one on there anyways.
Put a 2dB in there. I mean, you can also see it's only transmitting at like
minus.5 and it can transmit at up to 4 dB,
so it's going to automatically adjust. We're in the range. I might just leave it, but
sure, we'll leave it alone. We'll see. Anywh who,
yeah, internet. Well, let's just just do a speed test. Obviously, that's the the
best way to It's a screen cap. I'm sorry. Hey,
that's about as fast as I can ever get out of a speed test. Yeah,
our internet is 10 gig, but the speed test servers on the other end, not so
much. That makes sense. The upload should be faster.
It might be. More importantly, let's have a look at what kind of speeds we get off of our
NAS, which is over in the other building. What are you doing?
Trying to find there's a 150 gig file. Fine. Just Just go with Doesn't have to
be. Just go to the temp. Well, yeah, just 8 gigs. Sure. That's lost.
That's okay. That's 800 megabytes.
That's it. It's SMB, man. You're not going to get it.
I've seen faster than that. Yeah, I mean, it could be the system.
Let's try going back.
Oh, look. Not even 1 Gigabyte a second. I love
SMB. It's great. It's quality. This
isn't a limitation of like the connection. This is a limitation of
single client SMB. And if we had more than one client, we would be able to
overcome this limitation and saturate more. Here you can see that one core is just
pegged. Yeah. What if I try and copy two files at one
time? M I got to start separately. Now I got
to do separate transfers. Hey, it's exactly this. That is a little higher.
No, it was 800, wasn't it? No, it was like seven. Okay, now it's
down to the same basically the same thing. You know what we need? He knows
Joy's. Oh, you weren't even thinking that.
Jake's favorite piece of software. The point is just this is like seven times,
eight times faster than what we had before. And it won't go down in
inclement weather, which to be fair, the dish hasn't really
gone down in inclement weather. Wasn't there the one time with the snow?
There was the one time with the snow, but they also it was still like early
access firmware up until like a month ago. So overall, I'm actually really happy with
it. It has been shockingly stable. It goes down for like 1 minute every couple
days, but it's usually in the middle of the night, and it hasn't been doing that
since it's been updated to like mainline firmware. Cool. Well, we should just leave it in
place as a backup, kind of like what we have over at the lab. Yeah.
Okay, it's back. And it's exactly the same as it was doing before.
All right. High five. SMB. Woo.
We're not really done yet, though. This raises a pretty important question. Why
doesn't everyone just use birectional transceivers for everything?
Really, Jake? Well, the transceivers are a lot more expensive than standard
duplex transceivers. For example, the 25 gig transceivers we got for this project
are more than double the cost of the duplex transceivers that we'd use
otherwise. And okay, $50 versus $120
isn't huge, but if you were to multiply
that by 100 or a,000 servers, suddenly
the extra fiber cabling sounds like a pretty good deal.
Unless your cable is really expensive. Imagine this. You got like a 20 km run
that's already there, right? And you need more throughput. You've maxed out that throughput.
There's no room in the conduit. The city's not going to give you a permit.
or you know running that cable cost you a million dollars. You take your duplex,
you split it, and now you have double the throughput. Now you have double the throughput.
Except okay, you know how we talked about two different wavelengths through
a single fiber for send and receive. Many ISPs would actually be using a far
wilder setup called multipplexing where they use duplex fiber and they're
running a ton of different wavelengths through each one and then splitting it
out on the other side. We actually saw this This is wild. Look at this from the
uh Z16 facility tour. Holy. See, I told
you. No, no. Use this footage. It's wild. But look at that. That's so cool.
