They installed fibre optic Internet in my neighbourhood a while back, and this is what the cable ducts look like. Also interesting to see how these get installed, with a sort of huge needle/drill on tracks.
Meanwhile, OP’s neighbourhood has no internet now.
Thanks for doing what we were all curious about!
Just imagine filling all of those up with fibers. That’s practically unlimited bandwidth.
You gotta say it like Senator Palpatine.
I’m just looking at that little blue wire. Makes locating it before they pull cables actually possible. So much of this type of stuff in my area can’t be located using conventional methods.
The internet is a series of tubes
Awesome
Delicious pasta
Thats most likely “future path” from a company called Duraline. There should be a rip cord just like a cat5e cable.
They won’t use all runs at once, hence the name future path.
Edit: I just assumed this was in the US, however this is made worldwide.
Canada, but all of what you said sounds right.
I fuckin’ love fibre. Gigabit internet is a game changer (literally; I uninstall and download games so quick it’s insane, even 100GB+ games aren’t daunting any more).
It reminds me of a diagram of the insides of a human bone. Pretty metal, ngl
How many fiber cables do they put in each one of those ducts? There’s 15 ducts and let’s say 5 cables each, 75 fiber lines is a ton of bandwidth!! Lots of room for expansion there.
Mmm, candy.
I agree! Do the different colors mean anything?
I’m sure it’s how they find specific cables if they need to do a repair.
was at a facility that was installing a network for a new build out- I don’t know how many cables were pulled, but they were pulling them twenty at a time, and the final bundle going to the network switching room was… uh… about the size of an enclosed slide in diameter…
… the guy at the box side, whose job was to label and cut was only doing the pull-side labels. They ended up loosing about two weeks on that project.
Tell them to come to my street lol
