Iv just started on copper repair Iv come from civils where the money was good I earned 56k last year is it possible to reach that amount on copper repair
If you put a 1024 the door may get fixed before everything goes to full fibre i am sill walk and drive past poles I D 25y ago and I have been retired from 5y years ago after 40y we did not now have all the sophisticated tools for fault finding we I used to help out when they used to build up but dose it work in the real world my best friend was my phone butt for look for the ring tone also the worst fault to find was a nose line high resistance most of the time you would swoop piers if available
What are the hours like? I’ve got an opportunity to train but not sure based on my current job being very relaxed. The main reason is house I’ve got a very good shit time 8hour days. What are the days like for you?
In the USA, where they always install surge/overvoltage protection at the point where the phoneline enters the customer's building AND at the exchange/CO, it'll just make that protection do it's job and short out your neon transformer. In the UK, probably the same thing. Presumably the UK installs protection in the same location.
I was an external eng for more than 24years, all I had was my 9083 meter, 301c, oscillator and amplifier and butt phone, all interventions were done using these instruments, no fancy app, how times change. Oh and a set of cab prints for my exchange area.
It's all bull . I'm waiting 2 months on open research to do exactly what you just said. In the last 2 months I have had 6 ground operatives and still waiting to solve my problem because this ignorantes don't know how to do their job properly.

Bwahaha yet openreach engineers STILL don't know how to test a line properly, relying on their sopposed test devices. Give them an SA9083 and they are buggered yet a 9083 is still the best way to find faults on lines. I've lost count of the number of times that I have had to "help" openreach engineers on basic easy faults. The company is a shambles.
@@thePeterpumpkin68 that's why openreach engineers bugger off and run when a fault gets tricky! Because their managers (Who have absolutely no idea) are chasing them for 4 plus faults a day, amatuers now a days
You can't compare a 9083 with a JDSU because they are different beasts doing different things. The 9083 is for testing the integrity of the pairs, connectors etc with the skill being able to interpret the analogue dial. The JDSU is a TDR looking for impedance mismatches with the skill being able to interpret what the reflection from the event means. On a day to day basis doing Telco I would pick up the 9083 but there are weird faults that a 9083 simply can't find and you need a TDR but these are much rarer occurrences.

I seem to spend lots of my days clearing up after openreach
@@ivoruren3086 Got back and read what I posted. I made it clear that a 9083 is for finding leaky pairs and is the goto choice if any decent engineer for *standard* faults. If Openreach _engineers_are using the JDSU for pairs leaking to earth then they ought to be shot 😃 because TDRs are best for the distance to an open or a short circuit or an impedance mismatch. Out of curiosity, the next time I find a leak to earth on my 9083 I'm going to wack my TDR on it to see if it can find it 😃 If it makes you feel better it's not just Openreach with skill shortages on the 9083 it seems it's across the industry. I work with guys who, for the last 20 plus years only use their butt phones for mo noise tickets and swear by their technique but in truth, they do that because they don't know how to use the 9083 😐

This is why I'll never have any form of DSL. Think about it, all those broadband signals being shoved through 20 year old copper being treated like a standard phone signal. No thanks, i'll stick with my cable modem, which at least uses shielded coax to the head end, which in my case, is about 20 meters away. After that, it's fibre all the way.
At VM on all new broadband and phone installs the phone line is VOIP. We are also actively moving customers away from the unreliable copper network and migrating them over to VOIP if they have broadband which most do. One less potential phone related trouble call at each address.
@@RUclipsSupportTeams And that's the way it should be done. Although I'd rather they just go FTTH everything and scrap copper so we can just go onto the net directly, but maybe that's something to do in the next 10 years.
I like the 301C cuz you can eat your fish and chips off it - its nice and flat. Battery clips are weak on it though so you have to wedge cardboard in to stop the C-cells coming loose.
@@k1ngd0mh34rts That is how it should be, but in the real world, try it both ways, and while you are at it, try going 10, 50, 100 either way. I am not criticizing, but take everything with a pinch of salt until you have confirmed everything yourself.
Doesn't impress me one little bit. Even with their wonder test gear a succession of "engineers" have been trying to cure my noisy line for over a year now and I'm getting sick of it!
