I encourage VCF members to volunteer to help CDL with this project. This will not only help VCF, but InfoAge as a whole. So if you can, please volunteer to help! Send Martin dates that you are available in November and December. On Mon, Oct 31, 2022 at 10:41 PM Martin Flynn via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Thanks to the efforts of Ken Gober and his wife, the following projects were completed
* The 10 GB fiber optic cables to buildings 9032A/9032D are now supported by a 1/4" steel messenger cable. Both locations include an additional copper cable for analog telephones or teletypes. * The 10 GB fiber optic cable to building 9093 (the guard shack) is supported by a 1/4" steel messenger cable. The location include an additional copper cable for analog telephones or teletypes.
CDL is requesting assistance with the following:
1. Running a 12 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable from 9059 to 9010B. A portion of this is aerial, we will rent a man lift for this work. The balance is routing the preterminated fiber optic cables through holes that InfoAge drilled, and lay it across the ceiling joists. http://compdecon.org/media/9059_to_9010b.jpg 2. Running a 6 strand, single mode, fiber optic cable through the attic of 9010B out to "Broadway" and into the 9036B attic, again via holes that InfoAge drilled.. http://compdecon.org/media/9010b_to_9036B.jpg
As the pathway includes several 90 degree changes in direction, we will need helpers to assist in routing the fiber optic cable without damage.
If you want to get your hand dirty with projects that will advance the VCF mission (data in the VCF warehouse anyone...) Please reply off list with your availability in November / December
