Step one is locating your house box. This is step two.
First, you'll want to find the best spot to drill your hole. Mark it with
electrical tape where you like to drill. Still, steer clear of any electrical or
utilities in the wall. Mark its X where you would like to drill your hole then
measure from a window over. We're at 36 inches that's three feet this is just a
rough estimate and about six inches down from the window. Then you'll go to the
outside and you do the same step of measuring over to see if there's
anything on the outside they would hit a drill. The second part of step two is to
measure over where you'll be drilling from the inside out. We were at 36 inches
over from the window and we're clear.
Again on step two you're going to want to use a 5/8 drill bit about 16 inches
long .To get all the way through the wall main objective does not hit anything
that's inside of the wall. So in most homes electrical he's either going
straight up or straight down and if it is going straight up sometimes it'll go
across like this or go straight across so you always want to go on a 45 degree
angle from an electrical outlet roughly 45 degrees.
Now that we've measured off and we know we're not going to hit anything on the
inside outside by drilling all the way through
the wall. Remove your electrical tape, attach your 5/8 drill bit see-through.
I always stop as soon as I get through the first layer of wall just trying to
see if there's anything in the wall that you're gonna hit there's nothing there.
Proceed to keep drilling. We're all the way through just pull out. Now that we have a hole
with through the wall we have to get our fiber cable through there if you just
push your fiber cable in they're just gonna fall down into the wall and you
won't get all the way through. The next step after drilling your hole is to take
the end of your fiber cable that's coming out of your ONT and it will
have a cap on the end of your thing. Do not remove this cap leave it on there.
Take your electrical tape about eight inches, start wrapping the end of your
fiber cable like so and then stop when getting towards the end of it take the
butt end of your drill bit put it up against it do not overlap butt it up
against your cap. Again do not remove your cap or do not touch the end of your
fiber cable without the cap. It will get a dirty and you'll have issues and then
just wrap your electrical tape around the end of your drill bit like so, so
it's got a nice snug grasp and it's not going to get removed. Doing this to push
the cable through the wall in your hole. you know take your drill bit, plug it into
your hole. Jostle around until it gets through the hole now it's through. We're
gonna go outside pull the rest of the fiber cable through without kinking or
twisting your fiber cable. You never want to kink your fiber. Okay now once
you're outside after you drilled your hole and you pushed your fiber cable and
drill bit through you're just gonna want to pull it out nice and slow you
do not want to kink your cable. No 90-degree hard bends, soft bends are fine.
Just pull enough cable out to reach your house box. Right here we're about 20 feet
away from our house box. It's really need about 20 to 25 feet of cable. That should
be fine right there. This is the inside of your house box. This is the original
cable that's ran inside of your house box that you'll just see hanging here or
maybe already attached to this port. This is the fiber cable that we were running
from inside. We're gonna go up through this u-shaped
bushing. We need to poke a hole in here which your technician will probably
already do for you. We're gonna poke a hole in there use a knife needle nose
pliers whatever we're gonna push this through here. Pull a little slack, slide
this back in just so it's sealed. We're gonna remove these little caps inside of
this coupler the coupler will be green. Take those caps off now we can remove the
cap off of your fiber and there's a notch. The notch will be facing towards
you there's not a notch on the backside there's a notch on the front. I'm going
to take that notch and you're gonna slide it right in clicks. You want to
hear that click, that means it is sealed and it's inside of there. Same thing with
the other side if it is not attached already pull your cap off slide it in. We
are now attached. You can put your fiber cable through the
notches so it looks nice and neat. That is complete and you can shut your house
box door. No need to lock it or screw it shut. So now that we have the house box
shut everything's connected inside, we're gonna take your fiber we're going to screw clip it
to your house. By attaching screw clips first holding the screw clip down and
take your quarter-inch drive bit or philips bit and carefully, very carefully
and slowly screw it to it snug. Do not over tighten it, it can pinch the fiber
it can cause internet issues. Think of it like a garden hose and how the
water needs to flow through a garden hose. Just keep doing the same all the
way down till your reach to your hole.
I'm gonna tuck it into the j channel of the siding. Your house may not have siding
just be careful that's it corner your fiber or pinch it or kink it. Very
important this is a lengthy process it won't be done quickly. Just take your
time and be very careful safety is number one. Take all the extra fiber
cable that you have and lightly push it back into the house.
Sometimes it'll get jammed up just pull it back out push it back in. There you go.
Take your final clip screw it on.
Now you're gonna want to add your silicone or caulk whatever you
would like to use to seal your hole. This is since I'll be using 100% silicone
mold-free. Just squirt it in the hole work your way out and get around the
hole. Perfect.
So now that we came back inside if you've ran the cable on the outside
your installation will come into your own ONT/ modem/router already pre
connected with the other end of the fiber group inside of here and this
should do a battery backup and will come with it along with the wall plate
that'll be on the wire already. Just attached to the wall plate to the
wall just take some of your screw clips that will be provided, take the plastic
part off you have a screw with two of them. Now just kind of attach your
wall plate. You
plugging in here modem/router to your electrical outlet. Your lights will come on
and it'll take about 10 to 15 minutes before you'll have your service lights
that's your third light down. This is service. Once that is a solid green you
have internet service and you'll want to call us and set up your Wi-Fi or to set
up your own router.
