Could the smallest bend in your fiber optic cable be sabotaging your network performance? On tonight’s episode of "After Hours, Live with Chuck Bowser RCDD," we explore the intricate world of fiber optic cable bends. Starting with our ever-popular "What are you drinking?" segment, we quickly transition into the nitty-gritty of micro-bends and macro-bends. Learn how these seemingly minor deviations can lead to significant light loss and compromised fiber performance. Chuck offers practical advice on using Visual Fault Locators (VFL) and Optical Time Domain Reflectometers (OTDR) to keep your fiber in top shape, ensuring your network runs smoothly.

But it doesn’t stop there. We delve into the backbone of successful project management—scheduling and communication. Chuck highlights the importance of verifying schedules with customers to prevent project derailments and discusses how to manage unexpected changes like additional tasks and change orders.
