Fiber Activity!

I found the splicing trailer 3 blocks up Blaisdell, which seems hopeful.

Quite a fancy setup. That’s a heavily-muffled generator on the hitch there.

The fiber goes in through a small slot to keep the hot or cold out (though today is nice, so the door is open).

The splicing takes place inside, where they have nice workspace, good light, holding jigs, and so forth. How do I know that?  Travis Carter sent me some more photos earlier this morning:

The “loose ends” of conduit on the non-trunk (east) side of the Blaisdell Ave. are still there. I’ll be kind of surprised if the system goes active with those sticking up, though, so perhaps something happens to them this afternoon.
