- Coordinated design revisions to integrate inflexible systems and adapt low-voltage cabling scope.
- The scope was limited to Ethernet cabling, but the scale of work was quite large, which included user and industrial signal transmission.
San Diego Sector Border Wall Designer
Wachter
Cincinnati, Ohio
01.2016 - 11.2017
- Design a fiber optic cable (FOC) backbone system to support CCTV cameras mounted on light pole stanchions along a 2-mile stretch of the border wall.
- Determined design basis to include six single-mode (SM) strands at base of each stanchion, ensuring optimal performance for CCTV system.
- Modified an already planned conduit system by completing the design, placing handholes to act as splice points every four towers.
- A 24-strand SM FOC would be placed between the headend and each splice point, with a 6-strand installed for the 'last mile.'
- Included signal latency and link-loss budgets in final submission to enhance system reliability and performance.
