-Am incredibly proficient with AFD node cut overs, and finding solutions for problems that arise.
-Am incredibly proficient with Tier 2 amplifier cut overs.
-Training my crew in plant troubleshooting, becoming creative with finding solutions to problems that arise, and pushing them further as I see their knowledge growing.
-Can open and close tickets without issue, and if problems arise on the Bridge I am capable of relaying the information through the proper channels to find a solution.
-Have a good understanding of how to use Grafana and Watch Tower, to monitor progress and use those resources to aid in troubleshooting.
-Completion of detailed field walkout, location of nodes, ladder locations, underground locations, aerial locations, traffic control information as needed, obtaining contact information for businesses and residential locations to notify and work out access details, finding potential access issues and find solutions for them.
-Creating daily plans to guide the crew in the proper direction of success, and ensuring that everything in our power is done to complete the days work.
-Mapping out the route of current plant AC power, and using that to create a fitting cut over plan to minimize outage times, and shape said plan around our current personnel and traffic control resources.
-In my time at this company I mainly worked on the XNET Project, and had some experience with BAU work, such as new plant installation/ construction, running new cable/ fiber, laying conduit underground, and MDU build.
-Accomplished full capability of coaxial splicing with- 500 p1, p2, p3, mc2, 625, 750 p1, p2, p3, 875, 540 qr, 860 qr, 412, 320 , 6020, and 6030 cables.
-I am skilled working with AC power, in the sense of shutting child nodes down, to work on and update to the 1G system, while leaving the mothernode itself online and active.
-I can proficiently work with live coaxial cable (with AC current on the cable), putting in temporary devices to accommodate the flow of AC power between, new system child nodes, and the old system mothernode, in the XNET project.
I have a very keen understanding of troubleshooting, finding problems within the flow of RF in a cable system, as well as finding what could be shorting a system on the AC end.
Finding:
-suck-outs
-long pins
-broken cable
-loose set screws
-broken tap, or DC housing
-bad RG6/11 cable
-isolating an issue between devices
-figuring out an area with an incorrect map
-figuring out proper path of cables both in the air and underground
-I have accomplished the ability to fully read a map, understanding the symbols for certain cable, whether an area is in the air or underground, identifying a VHUB or EPON, the proper indicators of RF or AC cable, the proper device for a specified pole or vault, proper chip value for taps, how to differentiate between an even split, DC, or PI, and understanding the proper shunts to pull on DC or PI, as to not send power down certain lines.
-I have accomplished an understanding of how to fuse a mothernode for temporary solutions between old and new systems.
-I have accomplished an understanding of how to balance amplifiers (LE & MB 1.2G) to proper RF settings.
-I have accomplished MDU construction, mounting lockboxes, mounting conduit, and bringing coax from the pole, to the building, both underground and in the air.
-I have accomplished understanding how to use a VIAVI meter, taking RF readings, transmit (DOCSIS) readings, and fiber light readings.
-I have accomplished understanding how to set up a node, plugging fiber into it, and registering it with the system, within the XNET project.
Under this employer, I was a 1099 contractor for a few months, continuing to understand the process of splicing and construction.
In my time under this employer, I had started to learn splicing coaxial cable and construction of MDU's (multi dwelling units).
