Scott’s shares insights on fiber optic work. Fiber optics are in high demand due to the RDOF Grant funding for rural broadband, which has led major telecom companies to absorb many fiber techs. This creates a significant opportunity for contractors to fill the gap left by a shortage of experienced fiber optic technicians. Scott highlights that while learning fiber optics can seem complex, advancements in technology have made it more accessible. Tools like pre-terminated MPL connectors in data centers simplify the process, and basic fiber testing can often be done with affordable equipment. Scott’s own success story with fiber optics illustrates the potential rewards. He started with a $2,500 UniCam kit, which allowed him to take on high-paying projects, including offshore work. For those new to fiber optics, entry costs have decreased. Basic kits for fiber termination are now available for $30, and even used OTDRs can be purchased for a fraction of their original cost. Fiber optics come in two main types: single-mode and multimode. Single-mode fiber supports long-distance transmission and higher speeds, while multimode fiber is used for shorter distances and can handle various data rates. Tools and costs vary between these types, with UniCam kits being cost-effective for smaller jobs and fusion splicers being more economical for larger projects. Scott recommends starting with affordable tools and gradually investing in more advanced equipment as needed. Entry-level fiber work can be done with basic kits, while more complex jobs might require specialized tools like fusion splicers or OTDRs. He advises starting with used equipment to manage costs and to understand the essential components of fiber work.
