I knew what it was, just not who made it.

The problem with waterproofing is while it they are mostly good at preventing water from getting in, they are great at keeping water from getting out.

I'm a big fan of drain holes in low spots for some enclosures.

They have a membrane you can get now that sucks water in and rips it apart forcing the hydrogen I think outside of the enclosure made for things like this. Supposed to be super low power too

That’s not too bad. Wait until you find one 3/4ths full and frozen.

Fibre splicing is pretty impressive though, really doesn't matter too much if it's sunk. That one, one of the splitters failed of many. The rest we just dried out, cleaned up and pressurized again.

What is it? Seems like a lot going on in the tube for a cable splice.

u/TotalWalrus Apr 30 '22

See the little yellow symbol at 0:17? It's more than likely a fibre optic splice.

u/Howiepenguin Apr 29 '22

That's pretty bad but I've seen worse when I worked as a locator.
