Built my own case

Iv always hated the dumb blister packs and the lack of off the shelf storage solutions for SFP modules. So I designed and build this. The full one was the prototype and empty one is after I tuned it in a little. I made caps as well to sort and categorize them. Yes I know, Im 3D printing a batch of caps for the optics, most of these are reclaimed from the field to be reused at another point. Holds 108 modules.

Rugged Computer

Designed and build this computer into a IP65 rugged case. I built this computer for my role as an OSP as a "Jump box". Default internet access provided by dual carrier cellular router. Power interface is AC 120/240v, DC/AC 16-65v, as well as M18 milwaukee battery socket on the backside, all built with backfeed and reverse polarity correction. IO consists of 2 RS232 console ports, 1 local network port, 1 internet port to serve as a redundant failover for the cellular router. Both keyboard and screen are water resistant. All exterior power and data connections are all 6' preterminated waterproof connections. This is built to provide extreme power, environment, and data flexibility for remote access for IT department after deployment during any type of field outage scenario. Computer specs are Ryzen 7 7730U, 32GB ram, 1TB SSD, 2×2.5GbE.

Anyone have experience with FO cable assembly design?

I am looking to hire someone to create technical drawings of pre terminated fiber cable assemblies. There will be copper cables as well but most are fiber. I have about 50 original drawings that need updating and modernization, another 20 or so new drawings that I have samples and hand sketches for, and maybe another 30-40 drawings that need revisions done.

I even have most of the 3D STEP files from the component manufacturers that go in the assemblies.

I would like to find someone with experience in datacomm, but I am open to someone with CAD or a mechanical engineering background looking to gain experience in fiber optics as well.

This could be done as extra money on the side for someone.

Please reach out if interested!
