  This is a great explanation. I've trained splicers and this was really difficult for some of them to understand. I've seen so many mistakes because someone skipped an XD count. So i built a tool that scans the counts and builds the chart automatically. Thanks for the videos!

  Nice simple video, explained everything super clear.  i liked the fibre count chart breakdown explaining the ribbons

  Nice job print with splice tabs. Time for a new cheat sheet.  Very good explanation of reading counts .  It is  always fun when the previous splicer  used the wrong tubes and the records are wrong.

  Ok so if I understand this right (still a bit confused), but the CO or main point of interconnect has 144F cables running out, with cable 1 being fibers 1-144, cable 2 being fibers 145-288, cable 3 is fibers 289-431, etc. So on the drawing it is showing you need to take the new cable that was pulled between the splice enclosures (shown as the dead 144F) and connect it to 577-631 from the CO / main point of interconnect, which is the 5th 144F cable, fibers 1 - 55, coming out of that central point into that specific splice enclosure?

  I watched this twice and its still not making sense. I am guessing this &quot;count&quot; of 577-631 and 361-420 is some kind of designation for the drop or splice, but not the actual fiber? <br>Then if you are adding 5 ribbons (60 fiber) how is the dead changing from 61-144 to 116-144 in the feed cable?

  &quot;Dead&quot; implies its life is over -- it&apos;s stopped working and it is uneconomical to repair it. &nbsp;I would suggest &quot;dark&quot; as a more appropriate description.
