Description
this right here is the longest network cable we've ever run or at least what remains of it at this end is three pairs of single mode fiber optic cabling running into a four port 100 gigabit switch and on the other end man we got some really cool stuff but gonna take me a minute to get to it because it's 700 meters away starting with the other end of our cable which i now have to take inside the building where i promise you there is other cool stuff look at that we've got the same thing another quad port 100 gigabit switch that we're gonna plug two of our fiber ends into giving us a total of 200 gigabit these are sick though these hundred gigabit transceivers from fs.com can work over distances of two kilometers ah there it is and look at this over 40 gigabits per second to a single client when this place is full of machines everyone's gonna have full speed
In this short, Linus demonstrates how a 2300‑foot run of single‑mode fiber optic cable connects a 4‑port 100 Gbps switch to a building 700 m away, creating a total of 200 Gbps of bandwidth. He begins by showing the cable’s end, which contains three pairs of fiber, and then walks through the installation to the switch, highlighting the distance and the equipment used. The switch is a quad‑port model from fs.com, and Linus plugs two of the fiber ends into it, giving the network a combined 200 Gbps capacity. He notes that the cable can support speeds of over 40 Gbps per client, and that the entire setup is ready for full‑speed operation once the machines are online. The video ends with a quick recap of the performance gains and a promise that the infrastructure will remain stable for years to come.
Viewers praise Linus’s clear explanation and the practical setup, noting the humor in his running style and the efficiency of the cable run. Comments highlight the impressive length of the cable, the choice of a 4‑port switch, and the potential for high‑speed connectivity. Several viewers mention the cost savings and the reliability of the fiber installation, while a few jokes about the ‘forest explorer’ route add a lighthearted tone. Overall, the audience responds positively, with high engagement and a strong sense of appreciation for the technical detail presented.
