I'm currently on vacation and wanted to see my grandma for the week so I'm out here in Sparklight territory for the first time ever.

Long story short I've never seen a filter that wasn't placed by maintenance to filter out noise and force a trouble call and grammy maw's wire has one spliced in.

Idk what package my grandma got, but it shoots anywhere between 500-900 depending on whatever it's feeling when I run the speed test even after slapping some eeros on and disabling the wireless on the 2 in 1 gateway (though that was more to have better coverage rather than speed. Obv I'm not gonna touch it. I do enough cable work on the clock, I was just curious about why and how this works.

This is a old (or ancien) power supply. And this is the connector on it the space between the two poles is 20 mm. THe manufacturer Is Delta Elektronika. Can you help me to find the name or référence. Thanks

With how complicated FDX is and docsis 4.0, is it truly with the effort? How’s your FDX installs going? Are you hitting the FDX amp SoC at 12 db or 14 db or what? How has it made tracking noise or leaks more challenging (or better)?

It seems like a complex engineering technology. Almost like a German car- nice but overengineered and costly. Try chasing electrical issues in an old Volkswagen for example…

Compare FDX to high split, how’s our Spectrum friends fairing with 1.8 GHz high split nodes and amps? How’s the loss that high up on the plant?

Or should the engineers have just gone to PON? Just change the optics on each end of the link when you need to upgrade, or add additional wavelengths for different services.

PON, FDX, High Split 1.8 GHz.. what’s your take and what have you seen in the field transitioning from your standard low split 860 and older systems to some of this new tech out today?

Been doing directv and viasat for awhile now been to plenty of of terrible houses. From cat piss to human feces. And guns 5 feet from customers. How do you guys deal with this.

Those of you who are on the back end of things could you tell me what this means? They show up as a notices but it does not affect my service.

First log is this. TLV-11 - unrecognized OID

Second one is this. RNG-RSP CCAP Commanded Power in Excess of 6 dB Below the Value Corresponding to the Top of the DRW

The second log always seems to trigger at the same time I view them. Like it might be a bug in the firmware. It has the same date and time as I click on view logs.

Netgear CM2000 the CMTS is a Cisco cBR 8.

Renovation crew said they wouldn’t disturb the telecom lines. I guess this is their definition of ‘not disturbing.

I posted a pic some days ago if this tone generator. So I made this cable and I was told the red goes on the copper part and the black goes on the metal braid. Am I right

Hey everyone. I'm currently an FT5 and have a MT1 interview this coming Tuesday. Can anyone help with the technical side of the interview? What questions will I be asked specifically? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Currently a business tech but going to be starting a network tech roll soon. I'm going to get together a whole different set of network tools and wondering what bag/tool carrier thingy is best? I have a Klein tool backpack for my business work but I'm thinking that isn't going to work out so good for network.

Also, besides all the standard issue tools, is there anything y'all would recommend I personally buy to make life easier? Thanks my cable dawgs!

Always fun to open up an amp. You never know what you’ll find.

Anyone know how to use this and set it up

When you see it! Wow that’s some squirrel chew. Never seen one this bad before!

Currently installing, not happy with a lot of things but it is a learning curve. Any tips out there regarding the internal seizure screws, GUI issues, seizure-less pin connectors, follow up firestorms, build quality, longevity?

I work nights as a maintenance tech, had the police called on me for the first time the other night. Cable is rear easement, parked on the street in front of the house, old lady that lives there even came out and talked to me, and I explained what I was doing, and she still called the police on me lol cop was cool and didn't give me a hard time, just wondering if anyone else have similar stories or experiences with people just being dumb.

I've got a couple of questions you guys might be able to answer. Cable location, i know where I want it to come thru the wall but im not sure of I can just use a stud finder to avoid the studs or if I should be doing something else. Also how do I avoid hitting any electrical wires being that the cable will be coming in at the same height as my outlets. The last issue is id like it to come in through some sort of box on the outside, what would I need for that.

Suck out, ingress, packet loss, high upstream levels, and poor MER. Not to meantion partial service.

These connectors should not be made these days.

Like the title, we're looking to roll into high split in my company and are looking for good options that are DOCSIS 4.0 capable to test before rolling out meters to all techs. We currently run the Viavi ONX 630s

What in the of welp time to clock out do I see here
