WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:07.520 When we expanded our space to give the Creator Warehouse merge team their own 00:00:03.679 --> 00:00:09.040 building, I outright refused to get them 00:00:07.520 --> 00:00:14.240 their own internet connection. Which sounds unreasonable until you consider 00:00:11.040 --> 00:00:18.080 my perspective. I already pay for 00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.480 commercial internet right over there. A 00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:26.400 line that actually has to run through the demark in this building. So why 00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:31.119 should I pay for a second internet connection? That's why we set up a 00:00:28.080 --> 00:00:33.680 Ubiquiti Air Fiber XG, a dish setup that 00:00:31.119 --> 00:00:40.320 allows you to wirelessly beam internet between two locations at speeds of up to 00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:44.239 6 GB per second, which sounds great, 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:46.879 right? And to be fair, they are pretty 00:00:44.239 --> 00:00:50.719 great when they're set up properly. We just aren't wireless install techs and 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:55.120 we made the mistake of mounting them on poles that are so short that the 00:00:53.120 --> 00:00:59.359 wireless signals flying between the dishes hit the side of the building on 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:05.119 the way which actually limits us to about 16th of the theoretical max. Now 00:01:02.719 --> 00:01:10.400 we could fix this with some taller dishes but the proper solution is always 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:15.920 going to be hardwired. The question is just 00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:18.400 how? And the other question is who will 00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:21.520 sponsor this video? XSplit.

So, our first thoughts were not 00:01:34.720 --> 00:01:40.640 going to lie, pretty jank. See, the electrical mechanical room for this 00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:48.799 building, which is actually the one for this entire three building complex, is 00:01:43.360 --> 00:01:52.720 right here. Literally 25 paces, a stones 00:01:48.799 --> 00:01:54.479 throw, or a wrench's throw, as it were, 00:01:52.720 --> 00:01:58.960 from our building across the parking lot. So, it did occur to us to just 00:01:57.200 --> 00:02:05.200 string a wire between the two buildings or hack a micro trench into the parking 00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:06.880 lot and hope that nobody complained. But 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:12.319 believe it or not, we've been trying to get away from Jenk lately. Thankfully, 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:16.800 there's a solution. Because this is a threebuilding development, there's 00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:22.400 already conduit between the main mechanical electrical room here and the 00:02:19.040 --> 00:02:24.720 one in our building. We just have to 00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:28.239 find it. Oh, well, it's this one. Obviously, it's not going to be quite 00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:34.160 that simple, though. You see that conduit goes to the very opposite end of 00:02:31.280 --> 00:02:39.680 our building, which is not where our unit is. Also, I couldn't help noticing 00:02:36.640 --> 00:02:40.560 it's really full. How the devil are we 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:44.480 going to do this? Oh, we don't need that for that. That's 00:02:42.959 --> 00:02:47.040 to go to create a warehouse from here. There's already fiber that goes over to 00:02:46.400 --> 00:02:52.959 our building. Yeah, but aren't we using it? Sort of. This giant cable, which looks 00:02:51.200 --> 00:02:57.200 suspiciously like the one we ran through the woods, is where the fiber comes into 00:02:55.040 --> 00:03:00.560 the complex. It runs up into this distribution box where the fiber is 00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:04.800 actually terminated. These two cables here, because we have our own dedicated 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:08.080 wavelength, are our internet. These other ones are for everyone else in this 00:03:06.239 --> 00:03:12.400 building. In fact, our old connection actually breaks off of it here. You can 00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.920 see Linus Media. Uh, this is plugged in and doing nothing. 00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.560 Sick. Yeah. Our dedicated wavelength runs over 00:03:18.400 --> 00:03:26.000 this really thin cable, loops around there over 00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:30.959 to this guy. That giant box just has a switch and a battery backup in it. 00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:32.959 Can confirm is battery backup is fiber 00:03:30.959 --> 00:03:36.720 optic network switch. Here's the upstream to the provider that we showed 00:03:34.720 --> 00:03:44.720 you before. And then here's our downstream fiber pair which comes out 00:03:40.640 --> 00:03:46.720 here and goes into this box which 00:03:44.720 --> 00:03:50.959 actually raises some questions even for me. This is a switch 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:54.480 with just one thing in and one thing out. Isn't that just a cable with extra 00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.480 steps? Yeah, I think they do like their speed limiting and stuff in there, like 00:03:59.040 --> 00:04:04.000 routing. And I see. So, this is not to our benefit. 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:09.040 This is so that they can control our shizz. Yeah, got it. Okay, fine. Then, 00:04:07.519 --> 00:04:14.080 why don't we get to the part where Jake said sort of. In this box, the fiber cable from the 00:04:12.239 --> 00:04:18.639 switch is coupled into the big cable that runs over to the studio. You can 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:22.240 even see on this helpful label 12 single mode fibers. Hey, that's a lot of 00:04:21.359 --> 00:04:26.400 fibers. Yeah, it's uh 10 more than we're using 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:30.960 right now. You can actually see it says fibers 03 to 12 are dark. That means 00:04:29.120 --> 00:04:34.000 they're not in use, which is great. We can just terminate a couple of those 00:04:32.479 --> 00:04:37.199 fibers and we don't even have to run a cable, right? 00:04:35.840 --> 00:04:42.639 It's not what you told me before we started this. Yeah, it's not. Uh we don't own this 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:47.520 cable. And while we probably could get permission to use it, there is an easier 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:52.400 way. This right here is a perfectly ordinary single mode duplex fiber optic 00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:58.479 cable. It's got two strands in it, one for send and one for receive. But the 00:04:55.600 --> 00:05:03.919 thing is single mode fiber can carry many wavelengths of light at the same 00:05:01.120 --> 00:05:10.400 time without hurting the signal. That means instead of using two fibers to run 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:13.440 from our ISP switch to our rack, we 00:05:10.400 --> 00:05:17.600 could install a special birectional 00:05:13.440 --> 00:05:20.400 transceiver. Woo. That uses a separate 00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:25.440 wavelength of light on the same fiber for transmit and receive. That's going 00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:30.720 to free up the second fiber on our existing cable. So, the part that we are 00:05:28.479 --> 00:05:36.880 actually allowed to be using for us to send internet back from the other 00:05:33.039 --> 00:05:38.960 building over to Creator Warehouse. 00:05:36.880 --> 00:05:40.960 Well, sort of just just to here. Well, to here, we still got to run the 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:44.479 cable. That's why we have this to go from here to there. Yeah, that's 00:05:44.000 --> 00:05:48.800 going to be fun. Don't worry about it. Question for you. This seems like the kind of thing that's 00:05:47.520 --> 00:05:53.919 going to knock out everyone's internet access. When has that ever bothered you before? 00:05:51.759 --> 00:05:58.080 What is going on here? What the heck? There's like 40 people in this building. 00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:02.160 I can put them on the backup. Yeah. Oh, right. Okay. Yes, we actually do 00:05:59.840 --> 00:06:06.800 have backup internet now. It's so cheap. Is there a reason we don't just use the 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.759 backup? It's not commercial grade blah 00:06:06.800 --> 00:06:13.199 blah. For like 120 bucks a month, we can get internet that's faster than what we 00:06:11.360 --> 00:06:18.080 paid like five grand a month for here when we first moved in. There we go. Done. We're on the backup. 00:06:16.479 --> 00:06:22.080 In theory, the connection automatically fails over anyways. It's just that it 00:06:20.400 --> 00:06:26.240 takes like 15 seconds. Nope. So, I just forced it. I set the backup 00:06:24.400 --> 00:06:28.960 as the priority one. Hopefully, nobody notices. Hopefully, nobody was in the middle of 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:34.000 an upload. Uh, we could have checked that. 00:06:31.919 --> 00:06:38.319 Anyone middle of an upload? Anyone uploading? 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:41.560 To where? to to where these people to 00:06:38.319 --> 00:06:41.560 the internet. 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:46.800 Nope. No. I mean, is your computer working? Yes. 00:06:45.280 --> 00:06:50.560 Then no. Okay. 00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:54.479 See you later. Nobody was uploading anything. We're all good. 00:06:51.759 --> 00:06:59.680 Uh, sort of. There's still activity on the WAN. And I was thinking about what 00:06:55.759 --> 00:07:02.240 could this be? It's parseek because it's 00:06:59.680 --> 00:07:05.520 port forwarded to that specific WAN interface. And then on top of that in 00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:08.720 Parseek you have to like define your external IP. So any editors that are working off site 00:07:08.160 --> 00:07:14.400 right now are gonna get kicked off. I see. How quickly can we have this up 00:07:12.319 --> 00:07:18.720 and running? Can we just ask them to take lunch? Yeah, in theory it should only take the 00:07:17.199 --> 00:07:23.759 amount of time that it takes to put that transceiver in. In theory. 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:27.360 Hey, I lied. Uh Parseek doesn't work right 00:07:26.880 --> 00:07:35.680 now. I think they had scheduled maintenance. Oh, so Parseek was already broken. Yes. 00:07:32.880 --> 00:07:39.039 Cool. See you later. Let's move on. Okay. Do you want to go over there? And 00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:45.680 are we doing this like uh you know nuclear, you know? 00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:48.400 Do you trust yourself to uncip the like 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:52.319 LC duplex clip? Like take the two fibers apart? I've never done it before, so I'm 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:56.240 I'm just going to yolo it. But okay, cool. That's That's the answer I needed. 00:07:54.160 --> 00:07:59.440 Um you need the transceivers, which are in 00:07:57.759 --> 00:08:04.160 Creator Warehouse, so you should grab those. Cool. Our site's still working. Robert's 00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:10.080 I haven't disconnected it yet. It will stop working. Okay, I'll let Robert now. 00:08:08.240 --> 00:08:14.560 It's not hard for him to act exasperated and walk away from me. He's just like that all the time. 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:19.759 Um, wait. Well, I can't just take one of these. They're not like duplex connectors in 00:08:17.520 --> 00:08:23.120 that you can just use whichever one on either end. Oh, are they? 00:08:21.280 --> 00:08:27.599 Think about it, right? If you're transmitting and receiving on different 00:08:25.039 --> 00:08:32.080 wavelengths, if you did transmit on the same wavelength on both sides, you would 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:34.640 be shining light into light and then the receiving on both sides 00:08:33.599 --> 00:08:40.320 would be getting nothing and they would actually potentially burn each other out. That is really a thing. 00:08:38.479 --> 00:08:43.440 So lasers swapped. 00:08:41.839 --> 00:08:46.399 So they're kind of paired but not really. U these are all one side. 00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:52.959 Oh, I see. So you see it says 1270 1330. The other 00:08:49.920 --> 00:08:55.040 side is 1330 1270. Makes sense. 00:08:52.959 --> 00:08:58.240 Yes. Um, so if you're going to use birectional fiber transceivers, pay 00:08:56.959 --> 00:09:03.519 attention to that. Make sure you don't order all the same ones because they will not work. 00:09:00.800 --> 00:09:06.480 All right, cool. Lots of cool stuff coming over here in 00:09:04.880 --> 00:09:10.560 Creator Warehouse. We've got the RGB shirt in charcoal. And hey, let's leak 00:09:08.640 --> 00:09:15.920 that. Matthew, can I have that? Yeah. Oh, the laptop bag is going to be so 00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:20.959 awesome. Luggage strap, magnets. 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:25.839 It's gonna fit 14inch laptops, even with a big caboose. Look at all that wire 00:09:23.040 --> 00:09:29.600 holding and wire management. Oh, okay. I don't want to talk about the 16inch one 00:09:27.279 --> 00:09:34.000 yet. I guess that's leaked now, too. Anyway, the point is here they are. 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:37.680 Fiber optic transceivers. Were the guys over here complaining 00:09:35.680 --> 00:09:43.839 about the internet speeds? Complaining? Uh, no. I don't think so. 00:09:42.240 --> 00:09:48.160 Matthew, have you guys actually had internet reliability issues over here or 00:09:45.920 --> 00:09:51.279 It turns off and on here and there. Oh, I haven't been having any problems with 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:55.600 the speed, but also don't do anything too crazy. So, 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:58.640 I see. I didn't realize that it cut out from time to Okay, well, that explains 00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:04.160 why we're doing this. Cool. I thought Jake was just like, "Oh, this is cool. I 00:10:01.839 --> 00:10:08.080 want to make a video." Um, which is fine, too. Are we going to need these 00:10:05.839 --> 00:10:12.880 attenuators? Jake didn't mention anything, but when you have overpowered 00:10:10.320 --> 00:10:17.120 transceivers, these can help to knock down the signal strength a little bit to 00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:21.120 keep them from burning each other out. But um I don't know if you didn't say 00:10:19.839 --> 00:10:25.440 anything then I guess I'm not going to bother. 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:34.399 What could go wrong? What could go wrong? My company could have no internet 00:10:29.600 --> 00:10:35.200 the whole thing. Woo. I'm trusting Jake. 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:41.040 Hello. Hello. Hello. Okay, there's one more thing to mention. 00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:44.880 Oh, do I need the attenuators? We shouldn't need it right away because 00:10:42.399 --> 00:10:48.640 it's in theory in spec. There's a bunch of couplings in the chain already. So 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:52.800 there there's already going to be a decent amount of signal loss, but yeah. 00:10:51.279 --> 00:10:59.920 Okay. So, are you gonna unplug yours now? 00:10:55.760 --> 00:11:02.560 I mean, that is plenty. Quick cue for 00:10:59.920 --> 00:11:06.079 you. Oh, wait. No, I'm in the wrong box. Wait, what do you mean? How are you in 00:11:04.000 --> 00:11:09.519 what box are you in? You should just be the switch. 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:11.440 Yeah, the switch. And you're taking not the upstream one, the downstream one. 00:11:11.279 --> 00:11:15.760 No, I'm in the switch box. Yeah. 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:18.320 You weren't before, eh? Oh, yeah, I was. Oh, yeah. 00:11:17.839 --> 00:11:21.600 Yep. Okay. Well, I'm just keeping my ladder exactly where 00:11:21.040 --> 00:11:27.839 it was. Yeah. You didn't move a ladder, right? No. Let me just get all my pieces aligned 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:34.240 here. I need to have these ready because the last thing that we want is to 00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:36.560 accidentally get these fibers dirty or 00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:41.200 damage them. So, I'm just going to without touching the very ends, pop 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:46.399 those little caps on. All right, our internet is now down. It's out. 00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:51.120 Oh, he unplugged it. Okay, we're going. Oh no. Oh god. 00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:54.560 Now I'm going to pop out the transceiver that was in there. 00:11:52.640 --> 00:11:57.519 What are you talking about, Jake? Are you talking right now? 00:11:55.920 --> 00:12:01.200 I'm having problems. I'm going to mute now. Bye. And I'm the one who needs adult 00:11:59.839 --> 00:12:05.360 supervision. You see this one fiber's coming out? 00:12:03.279 --> 00:12:09.839 Yeah. I couldn't push the lock down and it was really hard to get out. Now I'm 00:12:07.120 --> 00:12:12.959 going to pop it out of the duplex clip. Just like that. Which fiber are you 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:17.920 going to use? the left hand one or the right hand one? I was going to ask you, uh, they're 00:12:16.079 --> 00:12:21.600 colorcoded, so why don't we just go with blue? No, they're not. They're not colorcoded 00:12:19.920 --> 00:12:23.680 on my side because there's like four different cables in between here and 00:12:23.040 --> 00:12:28.959 there. Oh my god. So, just use the left hand one, assuming 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:33.440 that you didn't take them out without realizing which is which position. 00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:36.720 Left from what orientation, Jake? Well, like if you're looking at it 00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:43.200 plugged in. Okay, let's orient based on the clip. Your finger is on the release. Yeah. And 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:45.200 I'm staring at my thumbnail. My thumb is on the release and I'm looking at my 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:49.040 thumbnail. The left the left hand one. The left hand one. 00:12:48.079 --> 00:12:55.440 I mean, we'll find out. My right hand, though. Oh my god. Okay, great. That's cool. I 00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:59.040 believe you can figure it out. Do I have to break it to get it out? 00:12:57.200 --> 00:13:04.720 I've never done this before. What? What? 00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:07.440 You're lying. Shut up. 00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:10.959 What do you mean break it? How would you How would you break it? You have to take 00:13:08.880 --> 00:13:14.800 a fiber out. I'm uh I'm going to plug my side in. So, 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.279 okay. Take this guy. 00:13:18.800 --> 00:13:25.519 Plug it in. Oh, it touched the end of the metal. That was bad. There we go. 00:13:24.399 --> 00:13:29.040 What's the problem? I am just trying to figure out how to get this apart without breaking 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.120 anything. Okay. Well, I'm plugged in. I'm going to come over there now. Sure. 00:13:31.760 --> 00:13:37.440 Before we go over there and help him, I'm going to plug in this other transceiver. This is a 25 gig 00:13:36.079 --> 00:13:42.720 transceiver that's going to be providing the internet back to Creator Warehouse so we don't have to come back here and 00:13:40.079 --> 00:13:49.140 do it again later. And then we're going to plug this into 00:13:44.160 --> 00:13:50.320 our 25 gig Dell switch here. 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:57.040 There we go. See, I've got my one fiber 00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:57.920 and I just put that bad boy in there. 00:13:57.040 --> 00:14:01.760 You figured out yet? Oh, yeah. I was just calling you. You don't answer your phone. 00:14:00.880 --> 00:14:06.639 Oh, that's fine. I don't see a link. Oh, that's not good. I can try the other 00:14:04.800 --> 00:14:09.279 side. Oh, yeah. Wait, hold on a second. Hey, there we go. 00:14:08.639 --> 00:14:15.120 Oh, really? Yeah. No, we're done. Because if you have two ends of a cable, it would be 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:19.040 the opposite. That would be the corresponding one. Yeah, that makes sense. 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:23.440 Hey, Matt. Oh, so it's working. So, it's working. Yeah, we have a link. 00:14:21.920 --> 00:14:26.480 So, you can leave that one. That's already plugged in on the other side. Wait, this is already plugged in on the 00:14:26.079 --> 00:14:32.160 other side. Yeah, I figured it might as well because rather than coming back. 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:35.920 I was going to tell you I only have one CI. These are both GE. 00:14:35.120 --> 00:14:40.880 Yeah, this the CI is for Sienna, which is the 00:14:38.160 --> 00:14:45.040 brand of switch. Okay. Um fs.com sells transceivers and all the different 00:14:43.199 --> 00:14:48.959 switch brands. And in theory, a lot of them don't care and you can just use the 00:14:46.880 --> 00:14:51.760 generic, which is what GE stands for. Um I just picked Sienna so we hopefully 00:14:50.800 --> 00:14:54.880 wouldn't have problems. I thought that was the coding for the wavelengths. 00:14:54.480 --> 00:15:00.000 No. Okay, let me wrap my brain around this. We're doing send and receive. 00:14:58.800 --> 00:15:04.079 That's our internet. That's our internet. This is Creator 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:09.279 Warehouses internet connection from over there. Back, right? So, I have to plug this into 00:15:07.839 --> 00:15:11.440 nothing. Something a cable. Do we have a coupler? Yes. 00:15:10.880 --> 00:15:16.000 Oh, it's working though, right? Yeah. 00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:18.560 I guess I could just go check. Uh, we should probably put an attenuator in 00:15:17.120 --> 00:15:21.920 there now that it's working though. Do you have attenuators there? I No, I left them over there. 00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:28.000 Okay. Uh, how much do you want? I was just going to do two because we already should be 00:15:26.079 --> 00:15:32.720 within range cuz like every coupler which if you think about it there's at 00:15:30.560 --> 00:15:35.839 least three maybe four is going to have a little bit of loss. So I was thinking 00:15:34.320 --> 00:15:39.760 2 dB would be fine. I mean we could do five. See if it works. If it works then 00:15:37.920 --> 00:15:44.480 we're good. As I mentioned before an overpowered transceiver can burn out the 00:15:42.480 --> 00:15:50.720 unit on the other side. So since these are 10 km transceivers if we put a 5 del 00:15:48.240 --> 00:15:56.399 attenuator. So that is intentionally causing 5 dB of signal loss. Um that 00:15:53.920 --> 00:16:01.920 should help to prevent any kinds of burning out mishaps over the longer 00:15:58.560 --> 00:16:03.680 term. And we're linked just like that. 00:16:01.920 --> 00:16:07.600 And I'm apparently supposed to figure out which of these conduits goes to the 00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:12.160 creator warehouse unit. Something we could do is we could go to the other 00:16:09.040 --> 00:16:14.399 side and see what color and 00:16:12.160 --> 00:16:18.800 characteristics the pull cord has. We got blinky lights. Look at that. It's 00:16:16.880 --> 00:16:22.240 online. That's the backup. That's the main one. I can't believe this worked. 00:16:20.880 --> 00:16:27.440 Okay, now we change it back and hope that nothing works. Hey, look at that. 00:16:26.079 --> 00:16:32.320 The speed test servers here aren't really fast enough to do the full 10 gig, but it's working. Wow. I can't 00:16:30.639 --> 00:16:36.079 believe we just unplugged our internet and didn't take everyone's internet 00:16:33.759 --> 00:16:41.040 down. That's so cool. Oh. Oh, Jesus. Wow. He's He's really He's into it. He's 00:16:37.680 --> 00:16:44.320 in the He's not even in there anymore. 00:16:41.040 --> 00:16:46.560 That conduit doesn't actually go to the 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:48.959 electrical room here. Okay. 00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:52.399 I didn't even tell him where the conduit comes out. Um 00:16:50.800 --> 00:16:57.759 I hope he's figured that out himself, but maybe in here. 00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:01.360 Is it bad to waste lines of time like this? Like I feel a bit bad just from 00:16:59.680 --> 00:17:06.079 the time wasting aspect, but he would totally do something like this to me. So 00:17:03.199 --> 00:17:08.240 then I feel much less bad, you know? You figured out yet 00:17:07.039 --> 00:17:13.640 where the conduit is. Is this a bad time to tell you I already know which conduit it is? 00:17:18.799 --> 00:17:22.559 It's under the sink. You were on track though. Were you following the fiber 00:17:22.240 --> 00:17:27.439 cable? Yes. Yeah. Okay. Look at how how professional that install is. 00:17:26.000 --> 00:17:31.120 Oh wow. Look, it come it comes down here. You 00:17:29.280 --> 00:17:34.960 can see the fiber box. Oh my god. This is just hanging on. 00:17:33.280 --> 00:17:38.720 Are we not going to fix this plumbing? Who did this? 00:17:37.120 --> 00:17:44.720 Which part? The bucket or the fiber? Completely unprotected fibers are just 00:17:41.600 --> 00:17:46.799 hanging here. Good old uh Telus techs. 00:17:44.720 --> 00:17:51.440 I don't believe Telus did this. Really? No, they screwed it into something. 00:17:49.679 --> 00:17:57.600 In theory, we could have just used Telus' existing fiber, but then, you 00:17:55.120 --> 00:18:00.320 know, we don't really own that. So, Oh, yeah. Why don't we just do that, 00:17:59.360 --> 00:18:06.000 Jake? Well, because I want to pull I want to do it properly. 00:18:03.840 --> 00:18:10.400 Because I want to pull fiber. That was the real answer. And then he corrected 00:18:07.919 --> 00:18:14.559 himself. Um, so the you see the orange and white string in there on you see how 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:20.160 there's like three conduits. Is the box open right now or no? No. LTD screwdriver. ltstore.com. Let's 00:18:19.120 --> 00:18:23.440 go. Kind of wish I had the stubby right now, though. 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:27.200 It's weird for you to wish to be shorter. Hey. 00:18:25.280 --> 00:18:31.280 And I just start pulling on this, right? Yeah. Oh, yeah. Definitely. Should we 00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:34.240 pull both fiber cables? Like just No. I don't think there's any reason to, cuz 00:18:33.039 --> 00:18:37.919 we're only going to use one of them anyways. Great. Okay. See you in a few. 00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:43.440 Okay. So, there's a few things to keep in mind when you're pulling a cable through a conduit. Unfortunately, 00:18:41.840 --> 00:18:46.640 this cable was supposed to come with pull loops, which would just be like a 00:18:45.200 --> 00:18:50.960 little plastic or steel thing that's integrated into the cable to make it 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:55.679 easy to pull. Uh, it doesn't look like they got made with those. So, instead, 00:18:53.280 --> 00:18:59.039 we're just going to electrical tape the pull cable to the cable and hope that it 00:18:57.600 --> 00:19:04.480 doesn't come off. The other thing to keep in mind, when you're pulling the cable through, you are using your pull 00:19:02.640 --> 00:19:08.320 cord. This pull cord is going to come all the way out and there's no longer 00:19:06.080 --> 00:19:12.799 going to be a pull cord in there. So, we need to pull one with the new cable at 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:16.559 the same time. So, we take the pull cord out and we're replacing it with a new 00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:20.160 one. Hello. 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:25.200 Hi. Okay, I'm going to pull on this a little 00:19:22.080 --> 00:19:27.760 bit. Hold on. Hold on. No, it's not 00:19:25.200 --> 00:19:31.760 still tied. I untied it. So, do not just start reefing on it. Okay, I've got a 00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:36.320 good grip. Okay, I'm just going to pull a little bit just to 00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:40.240 You feel that? Nope. You feel that? 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:44.720 Nope. You're lying. Not lying. 00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:48.360 How about you pull it from your side then? Okay. 00:19:48.880 --> 00:19:53.919 See anything, brother? I did this yesterday. You're justing with me. 00:19:52.960 --> 00:19:59.360 I'm not. Pull more. 00:19:56.559 --> 00:20:01.280 There we go. Now it's moving. Pull more. Okay, 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:04.880 there we go. Okay, this is the right one. Beautiful. Okay, stop pulling. I 00:20:03.280 --> 00:20:08.480 got to do some taping here. So, just give me a minute. I'm going to start by 00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:11.840 taping these fiber ends because this is the the most important part. We don't 00:20:10.320 --> 00:20:15.840 want to damage. I don't want these caps to come off while we're pulling it. And 00:20:13.840 --> 00:20:18.960 I don't want to rip the connector off. Do we have any lube? Like yellow 77 or 00:20:18.320 --> 00:20:23.440 whatever. There was very little resistance when I tried this, so I think it's probably 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.039 okay. Okay. I would strongly recommend using 00:20:25.919 --> 00:20:31.679 lubricant if you're pulling cable through conduit, though. makes it a lot 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:35.360 easier. And you can get these like very low residue ones that won't break down 00:20:33.919 --> 00:20:40.880 the sheathing of the cable or anything like that. Um, yeah, and if you don't have it, basic 00:20:38.720 --> 00:20:46.320 hand soap is a really good option. So, I tied it between the two pairs which are 00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:51.039 protected with electrical tape. And then I'm going to wrap it like crazy. You 00:20:49.120 --> 00:20:58.080 really, really do not want this to come off uh mid pull cuz then you are 00:20:56.159 --> 00:21:04.720 out of luck. You ready? Uh, almost. I just got to tie up the uh 00:21:02.080 --> 00:21:08.000 the twine, the replacement pull cord. Take your time. Got all day. 00:21:07.120 --> 00:21:13.360 What? What? What' you say? What? 00:21:11.120 --> 00:21:17.520 Okay. Do you want to pull a little bit now? You know, Jake, there is a fair bit of 00:21:16.159 --> 00:21:20.240 tension on this. That's okay. It's moving smooth on my 00:21:19.520 --> 00:21:25.520 side. Okay. We should have lubed this. 00:21:23.600 --> 00:21:31.039 We can lube it if you want. We should lube it. 00:21:27.120 --> 00:21:34.960 Oh god. Like dish soap. Uh 00:21:31.039 --> 00:21:36.320 yeah, this should be fine. 00:21:34.960 --> 00:21:39.840 We're lubing her up. All right. Can I start pulling? 00:21:38.000 --> 00:21:44.640 It's nice and lubed. All right, just keep lubing it. 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:49.200 I put lots of lube in the hole. Don't worry. Oh, wow. This is definitely 00:21:47.840 --> 00:21:53.360 slow down. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop. And just tangled up here. 00:21:51.120 --> 00:21:57.440 Hold on. Okay. Wow. It really does slide nice now, eh? 00:21:54.480 --> 00:22:00.440 Oh yeah, bud. Oh boy. Oh, this is not good. 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:07.640 I don't really want to have to unspool 200 ft to untangle this. But 00:22:08.559 --> 00:22:14.559 Oh, Jake. Yeah, I was kind of thinking we just go out the door. 00:22:11.760 --> 00:22:17.679 Jake. Jake. Jake. I'm not angry, son. I'm disappointed. 00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:22.080 Look, it could have just been wrongly wrapped from the factory, but then I 00:22:20.320 --> 00:22:26.559 would have to be mad at Infinite Cable, and we all know that that's not possible. No, it's definitely not 00:22:24.960 --> 00:22:28.960 possible. Probably because we were shaking it around before we shot a 00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:32.880 bunch. Oh, I see. What I'm trying to say is it's your Oh, I see. 00:22:32.000 --> 00:22:36.799 Yeah, it's your fault. So, I see. I see. So, this is on me now. 00:22:36.080 --> 00:22:41.679 Yeah, 100%. Okay, we're done. Okay, we're good. 00:22:39.280 --> 00:22:45.360 Hey. All right. Really? Did you just do that? He took the whole neatly spooled 00:22:43.840 --> 00:22:51.120 thing that we just did and he just dropped. He just threw it on the floor. 00:22:47.520 --> 00:22:54.400 Should be fine. I'm in position. Okay, 00:22:51.120 --> 00:22:55.760 you can start pulling now. 00:22:54.400 --> 00:23:00.400 Can you imagine there was like two more feet? Yeah. 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:05.120 Come on, buddy. Anytime you're ready. Hold on. I think 00:23:03.120 --> 00:23:10.480 something might be coming through. It's a boy. 00:23:08.159 --> 00:23:14.640 It's really wet. Yeah. Well, I poured it in the hole, so Oh, how the hell am I 00:23:12.960 --> 00:23:19.760 supposed to get this undone with it all slippery like this? 00:23:17.360 --> 00:23:23.360 Gee whizzers. Might have overdone it a little bit. The 00:23:21.919 --> 00:23:26.799 question now remains. How do we get it from here to the closet? 00:23:25.120 --> 00:23:31.039 No, you know the answer to that. What this? Yeah. 00:23:28.240 --> 00:23:34.320 Oh, yeah. But um see about that. No, stop. You know. 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:38.799 No, I don't. Shut up. This is UPC. You see how it's green? 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:43.760 Oh, that's an angled connector. They use that on passive optical networks like um 00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:49.039 when you have fiber to the home, it's a passive optical network. They use that so it doesn't shine back like reflect 00:23:47.280 --> 00:23:53.120 back off the connector. This does not. So, if you put them together, it won't 00:23:50.320 --> 00:23:58.240 work. And I did order an adapter, but it doesn't look like it showed up. For now, 00:23:54.799 --> 00:24:01.200 we can try it by moving the switch over 00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:03.520 here. Or we pulled this all the way over there. I was thinking we just move the 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:07.520 switch here. Um Oh, god. J. 00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:10.240 Just plug the switch in here. It's fine. No. Yeah, but we can't put the switch 00:24:09.600 --> 00:24:13.679 here just for like a day or two until the adapter. 00:24:12.640 --> 00:24:18.000 Do you know how many times we've deployed something for a day or two? Well, then we won't deploy it. We'll 00:24:16.400 --> 00:24:22.000 unplug it after. Do you have a patch cable that we could at least just like 00:24:19.520 --> 00:24:24.400 run in a not awful way over there? Oh, yeah. 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.240 Why don't we just do that then? It's not going to be any worse than what they 00:24:25.760 --> 00:24:30.720 did. Yeah. Yeah. Run it along the baseboard up here 00:24:29.039 --> 00:24:34.960 and over here and over here and down here and through here or something. 00:24:32.159 --> 00:24:38.960 Oh. Uh, it's not coupled. We got to grab a coupler. I'm going to 00:24:36.799 --> 00:24:44.320 come back and do this properly later, but for now, we're just going to couple 00:24:41.600 --> 00:24:49.039 our cable into our extra little fiber up there. Put our fiber into the coupler. 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:57.200 That one side still has a cap on it for now. And then take this guy and plug it 00:24:53.679 --> 00:25:00.799 into there. So, I'm on the 00:24:57.200 --> 00:25:02.320 right side, the white side on this side. 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:06.720 There we go. Okay. I couldn't find another coupler, so I'm going to do something naughty and steal it from this 00:25:04.880 --> 00:25:12.799 box. Thanks, ISP. Appreciate you. Don't tell 00:25:09.840 --> 00:25:17.159 anyone I did that. Wait, where's the coupler? No. Jeez. 00:25:17.200 --> 00:25:23.520 Okay, awesome. Uh, we need a transceiver. I will go get one. 00:25:21.840 --> 00:25:30.000 The existing switches we have over here, these UniFi Enterprise 48s don't have 25 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:32.480 gig. So, we're going to put in an XG24 00:25:30.000 --> 00:25:38.320 Enterprise, uh, which is a 24 port, 10 gig switch with two 25 gig ports. Um, 00:25:36.640 --> 00:25:42.159 and then from here, we can kind of patch over. We can use two 10 gig links to to 00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:46.400 give 20 gigs of connectivity between here and these or whatever we want to 00:25:43.840 --> 00:25:50.480 do. We also might just not put this switch here and just have a 10 gig link 00:25:48.320 --> 00:25:55.520 between the buildings. It's, you know, they've been operating on gigabit for 00:25:52.320 --> 00:25:58.880 over a year and it's been fine. Um, so 00:25:55.520 --> 00:25:59.440 25 gig is it's probably overkill, but it 00:25:58.880 --> 00:26:06.080 right. Okay, I should be a pro at this now. Pretty smooth. The last time took a lot longer. 00:26:04.080 --> 00:26:12.080 Ready? Oh jeez. Scratch the feral. Sorry. 00:26:10.000 --> 00:26:17.520 Let's catch you guys up. Jake moved the switch out of the network closet because 00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:19.200 this direct attach copper cable is not 00:26:17.520 --> 00:26:21.120 very long and we needed to plug it into this computer. And this is a 25 gig 00:26:20.799 --> 00:26:24.240 Vick. Yes, sir. All right, let's see it running at full 00:26:23.919 --> 00:26:28.960 speed. Yeah, the connection's actually working now. That's another update. Oh, yeah. Cool. 00:26:28.080 --> 00:26:33.440 Oh, yeah. What happened? When you're using like 25, 50, 100 gig, you run into forward error correction 00:26:32.320 --> 00:26:38.240 when you're running at those crazy speeds. And they expect forward error 00:26:35.440 --> 00:26:41.679 correction mode 74. And the Dell by default defaults to nothing. 00:26:40.080 --> 00:26:46.159 Cool. So, usually with a direct attach cable, it doesn't matter. When you start to move to actual optics, 00:26:45.760 --> 00:26:49.840 got it. Then it matters. So, we set it CL 74. 00:26:49.120 --> 00:26:54.880 You can see right there. Nice. And it worked. I didn't put an 00:26:52.240 --> 00:26:59.919 attenuator in there yet, but we can see the receive power is minus 2 dB. And if 00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:06.400 you look at the product page, the overload happens at two. So, we should 00:27:03.520 --> 00:27:09.360 be okay. We could put a we'll probably put one on there anyways. 00:27:07.360 --> 00:27:14.640 Put a 2dB in there. I mean, you can also see it's only transmitting at like 00:27:12.000 --> 00:27:16.799 minus.5 and it can transmit at up to 4 dB, 00:27:15.520 --> 00:27:19.679 so it's going to automatically adjust. We're in the range. I might just leave it, but 00:27:18.720 --> 00:27:24.159 sure, we'll leave it alone. We'll see. Anywh who, 00:27:21.919 --> 00:27:28.240 yeah, internet. Well, let's just just do a speed test. Obviously, that's the the 00:27:26.880 --> 00:27:32.400 best way to It's a screen cap. I'm sorry. Hey, 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:36.720 that's about as fast as I can ever get out of a speed test. Yeah, 00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:39.120 our internet is 10 gig, but the speed test servers on the other end, not so 00:27:38.320 --> 00:27:42.400 much. That makes sense. The upload should be faster. 00:27:41.440 --> 00:27:48.159 It might be. More importantly, let's have a look at what kind of speeds we get off of our 00:27:46.320 --> 00:27:52.400 NAS, which is over in the other building. What are you doing? 00:27:49.919 --> 00:27:55.039 Trying to find there's a 150 gig file. Fine. Just Just go with Doesn't have to 00:27:54.000 --> 00:28:00.159 be. Just go to the temp. Well, yeah, just 8 gigs. Sure. That's lost. 00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:04.080 That's okay. That's 800 megabytes. 00:28:01.360 --> 00:28:06.080 That's it. It's SMB, man. You're not going to get it. 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:12.520 I've seen faster than that. Yeah, I mean, it could be the system. 00:28:08.000 --> 00:28:12.520 Let's try going back. 00:28:12.640 --> 00:28:21.120 Oh, look. Not even 1 Gigabyte a second. I love 00:28:18.000 --> 00:28:22.640 SMB. It's great. It's quality. This 00:28:21.120 --> 00:28:27.360 isn't a limitation of like the connection. This is a limitation of 00:28:25.120 --> 00:28:31.360 single client SMB. And if we had more than one client, we would be able to 00:28:29.600 --> 00:28:34.720 overcome this limitation and saturate more. Here you can see that one core is just 00:28:33.440 --> 00:28:37.919 pegged. Yeah. What if I try and copy two files at one 00:28:37.520 --> 00:28:43.039 time? M I got to start separately. Now I got 00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:46.159 to do separate transfers. Hey, it's exactly this. That is a little higher. 00:28:44.799 --> 00:28:48.480 No, it was 800, wasn't it? No, it was like seven. Okay, now it's 00:28:47.840 --> 00:28:53.200 down to the same basically the same thing. You know what we need? He knows 00:28:52.159 --> 00:28:59.919 Joy's. Oh, you weren't even thinking that. 00:28:57.200 --> 00:29:03.200 Jake's favorite piece of software. The point is just this is like seven times, 00:29:01.760 --> 00:29:06.159 eight times faster than what we had before. And it won't go down in 00:29:05.360 --> 00:29:10.320 inclement weather, which to be fair, the dish hasn't really 00:29:09.039 --> 00:29:14.080 gone down in inclement weather. Wasn't there the one time with the snow? 00:29:12.159 --> 00:29:18.960 There was the one time with the snow, but they also it was still like early 00:29:17.120 --> 00:29:22.720 access firmware up until like a month ago. So overall, I'm actually really happy with 00:29:22.240 --> 00:29:28.320 it. It has been shockingly stable. It goes down for like 1 minute every couple 00:29:27.120 --> 00:29:32.399 days, but it's usually in the middle of the night, and it hasn't been doing that 00:29:30.320 --> 00:29:36.000 since it's been updated to like mainline firmware. Cool. Well, we should just leave it in 00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:39.279 place as a backup, kind of like what we have over at the lab. Yeah. 00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:42.399 Okay, it's back. And it's exactly the same as it was doing before. 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:46.720 All right. High five. SMB. Woo. 00:29:44.799 --> 00:29:51.600 We're not really done yet, though. This raises a pretty important question. Why 00:29:49.520 --> 00:29:57.120 doesn't everyone just use birectional transceivers for everything? 00:29:54.880 --> 00:30:00.960 Really, Jake? Well, the transceivers are a lot more expensive than standard 00:29:58.559 --> 00:30:04.640 duplex transceivers. For example, the 25 gig transceivers we got for this project 00:30:02.559 --> 00:30:10.159 are more than double the cost of the duplex transceivers that we'd use 00:30:06.080 --> 00:30:13.440 otherwise. And okay, $50 versus $120 00:30:10.159 --> 00:30:18.000 isn't huge, but if you were to multiply 00:30:13.440 --> 00:30:20.880 that by 100 or a,000 servers, suddenly 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:24.559 the extra fiber cabling sounds like a pretty good deal. 00:30:21.919 --> 00:30:28.159 Unless your cable is really expensive. Imagine this. You got like a 20 km run 00:30:27.200 --> 00:30:32.720 that's already there, right? And you need more throughput. You've maxed out that throughput. 00:30:31.120 --> 00:30:36.159 There's no room in the conduit. The city's not going to give you a permit. 00:30:34.320 --> 00:30:39.840 or you know running that cable cost you a million dollars. You take your duplex, 00:30:39.120 --> 00:30:45.440 you split it, and now you have double the throughput. Now you have double the throughput. 00:30:43.039 --> 00:30:49.120 Except okay, you know how we talked about two different wavelengths through 00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:55.360 a single fiber for send and receive. Many ISPs would actually be using a far 00:30:52.960 --> 00:30:59.120 wilder setup called multipplexing where they use duplex fiber and they're 00:30:57.039 --> 00:31:03.200 running a ton of different wavelengths through each one and then splitting it 00:31:01.120 --> 00:31:10.320 out on the other side. We actually saw this This is wild. Look at this from the 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:12.720 uh Z16 facility tour. Holy. See, I told 00:31:10.320 --> 00:31:18.880 you. No, no. Use this footage. It's wild. But look at that. That's so cool. 00:31:16.399 --> 00:31:23.200 So cool. Like this segue to our sponsor, Secret Lab.

Then if you didn't understand the wrench joke from earlier, it'll make more 00:32:13.679 --> 00:32:20.480 sense. That was Antoine. Hey, it was like his first week. Hit his car. was very 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:20.480 stupid.
