- čas přidán 1. 07. 2024
- This is mostly just me working on the bunker project,, mostly all the boring stuff, that I normally do off camera. Finishing up the putting in of the empty 40mm pipe,, and then putting through the power and fiber optical,, messed up putting in a SFP+ in my 10Gbit, and struggled to make any connection to the rest of system from the bunker because of it.
Please do help he find new homes for some of all my 10Gbit SFP+'s : www.myplayhous...

My PlayHouse is a channel where i will show, what i am working on. I have this house, it is 168 Square Meters / 1808.3ft² and it is full, of half-finished projects.
I love working with heating, insulation, Servers, computers, Datacenter, green power, alternative energy, solar, wind and more. It all costs, but I'm trying to get the most out of my money, and my time.
Amazed you got that cable through there! There's a reason its called PULLING cable - could have sucked a string through that tube (vacuum and a plastic bag) then pulled your cable - great video thanks! Always better to be too long than too short!
Yes,, that was stupid, that I did not do that,, I did not think,, I am really ignored with my self not having done that. I do know the vacuum trick,, that might save my @$$ :-)
@@MyPlayHouse Just some nylon 5mm wide string. Superstrong.
Probably a little late, but you should have pulled a pull through string along with the wires/fibre. That way if you needed to pull anything else (especially with the corrugated pipe) you could easily pull it. I am not sure if you could still use the plastic bag (or small piece of cloth) and a vacuum...
Yes,, that was stupid, that I did not do that,, I did not think,, I am really ignored with my self not having done that. I do know the vacuum trick,, that might save my @$$ :-)
Love your IT humor:" some guy forgot to plug it in" LOL. I can so relate to that, wiring my house.
😁I had a serious talk with him afterwards, I think we have it solved, it will never ever ever,, happen again.
this is pretty major progress - the only productive things I have to add is to use fused connections and also add pos pressure hepa with humidity control and remote monitoring - you probably have to extend series and get a mini pc running with home assistant and a few controls for env and power, you want to have redundant connections to the bunker and out of the bunker, a mini cluster would be nice in the bunker - redundancy and failover - good poc content - the use of the tools to install and verify fiber was great - tuborg gold award! I would have tried to use dac just for ease of use and price - i have had bad luck with tranceivers - they get hot - trying to stick with rj45/cat8. try to put foam boards and then plywood pieces for floor of bunker - maybe even shag carpet. good ending to this one, try to do more cable mgt - most of it is good but rem this is a bunker - everything has to be perfect and orderly
Thank You,,, DAC cables are limited to 7meter,, not enough,, there is like 12-13M to my SW in top of rack.
You can add a pice of conduit from the red conduit to the PVC pipe you will have some ventilation in the bunker when the fan is working.
Yes!! just got the little fan an hour ago :-)
And if he fix both the conduits to the wall the fiber will be better protected
Morten was saying: “The fiber optic cable was available”, but means: “Now we’re one short at work” 😉 Just disappointed you didn’t use the vacuum cleaner and plastic bag on a pull wire trick to get the wires trough 😉…
I have no idea, why we had a 14M at work,, we never use longer then 7Meter :-/ I might have to use the vacuum trick,, as I was to stupid to pool a string through..
@@MyPlayHouse Or you can buy a "nylon pilot cable guide" so you can use it on any conduit, it's a common tool for electrician.
@@MyPlayHouse Just say you borrowed it for an undefined length in days. :)
Not sure what your peak amps are for those power cables, but I would measure the voltage drop over those cables under load as they may be way smaller than needed for the length that you have. If you're looking at staying within 5% voltage for a 20m cable length and 10A you'd need 8AWG (or ~8mm^2) wire to do that, this cable looks smaller than that.
Definitely don't need 8mm2, 2.5mm2 is fine for 20a at 20m even including the current carrying capacity reduction for cables in underground ducting.
It's fine a 6mm cable, can handle 55Amp. The Allpowers power station in the bunker can only handle 18A or 500W max.
There is like 12 meter,, I will probably see a 3% drop in voltages,, (Worst case 500W, 18A and lowest possible voltages of 27,8V)
If I can get to 70V comming in (Max. of the S2000) we are down to like 7,1A,, that would be less than 1% voltages loss, with 6mm cable.
Any time you feed cable through conduit, also feed string. Next time you need to pull cable through, you can attach it to the string and just pull the string.
Yes,, that was stupid, that I did not do that,, I did not think,, I am really ignored with my self not having done that. I do know the vacuum trick,, that might save my @$$ :-)
@@MyPlayHouse you bet, vacuum string for the first pull is a great technique. :) Then you don't need to put any detergent as lubricant.
Hi, Morten, there is lifehack how to save clean cable after duct tape, for the beginning you should to wrap cables by duct tape glue side out and then wrap one more time over by traditional way. After removing duct tape there will be no glue on surface.
Thank You, It was really the dish soap that was the issue :-) the tape did not really leave anything behind..
Having the switch in the bottom of the rack leaves it very exposed if there is flooding, maybe it should be higher.
Cough cough,, the rack is very much not straight,,, it does not fit much further up :-/
I'd love to own my own property and get upto these great power savings projects. Sadly I rent so I am limited but the power bank running the data center was very interesting. A power bank plugged into the mains but uses the solar power to charge before touching the ac. My servers use about 350w so even getting 200w of solar would save me a fortune here in the uk.
I think the UK is difficult,, you have to drive really fare to be able to afford something,, I am like 55min. from our second largest city,, you can get a okay house here for £50.000,, my house was £40.000 but 15 years ago. But unfortunately they do not go up in prices.
Is balcony solar not legal in uk..
In dk it as sadly not, so everyone that rents are stuck with grid in dk
It is also a cheap option for house owners, compared to normal grid connected solar
They save pretty much what they cost in a year
The bunker creeps me out, I imagine being trapped in there :( However I am enjoying the story-line..
Well when I get a bit of stuff running in there and it heats up a little I think it might get quite cosy.. But getting in and out,, takes a bit of effort :-)
Are you using the inverter in the AllPower? Could you connect up the panels for 24volt? If the Allpower can take 24v input you could step the voltage down from 24v to 19v instead of up from 12v???
At the moment I am using the inverter,, but I am hoping to go full DC,, to save on power.
Lol I love this stuff but I’m so confused as to what we are trying to accomplish here sitting in a crawlspace with 10 Gb Internet. I don’t see why we are doing this.
Well I have a 10Gbit connection in the bunker,, I only have 1Gbit internet. :-)
I do it because I think it is interesting.
I'm just waiting for the air mattress and sleeping bag for Morten's first night in the bunker 😁
I think I will wait for my fan, that will make some air flow :-)
@@MyPlayHouse and a CO-warning signal....
A thougt crossed my mind: is the fiber crossed a/b --- b/a? Otherwise you will get no link, no data will flow and the miniGBIC stays cool
I got it working at the end,, it was not popped in to the SW in the rack fully,, I messed up there.
16:15 forget to cut that part? weird silence haha
Yarh,, you can kind of hear me whining up my brain in the background,, Yes I forgot to cut that out...
how cute a cluster of lenovo tinys
Hi @fps_purple9556
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I would have thought that you would ahve pulled a string / cord with the cable, as next time you want to run anytiung it is going to be extreme difficult without one.
Ahh and you say that now,,, a bit late!! that was for sure stupid of me not to do that!! :-)
@@MyPlayHouse you could always use the vaccum cleaning an a plastic bag with a string tied to it trick. stuff the plasicbag with the string tied to it in one end and use the vaccum cleaner on the other, but it has to be a light weight string. but you can use that light weight string to pull a heavier string through.
I have been testing that 'chinaswitch': It has ~450k buffer. It also has a bug: If you need flow control on the fiber, force the port to 10G, don't leave it auto. And I may just get a few SFP+'s, I have been - testing them for work?
That Might be the SFP+ I just shipped :-) if so thank you!
Hey Morten,
after using a couple of those "china" 10G switches, i got to the conclusion that the SFP+ port does have problems with modules that are drawing to much current. I bought modules with lower current spec and they worked fine. Maybe you got the same problem.
Okay,, I will keep that in mind,, I do have a SFP tester that shows how much power they uses. soI can use the best ones I have.
The unifi sw is showing -40dBm output power. That pretty much means that the Unifi switch doesn't support that module..
You will need to reprogram that module to support the Unifi switch.
You're getting RX on the Unifi side, so the small cheap switch is all good.
EDIT: Another option you can try is to set the link speed manually and turn off automatic negotiation. (I've had to do this to get a 10Gbe link working between a Dell switch and a Mikrotik router)
EDIT2: Also could be that one of the fibers is broken. Try the modules with another patch.
I could also pop in the fiber all the way :-/ witch I did in the end :-)
@@MyPlayHouse It's always the simplest things, isn't it... :)
Finally some internet and power for it
Best grounded data center :-)
@@MyPlayHouse mom: ok you're grounded
me: thank you!
👍
Thanx
I saw you ran out of stock on your Cisco 10 Gb SFP's. I would be a nice upgrade to my home network. Why? Because I can . LOL. To bad the Fiber optic of a national ISP, is terminated 3 ports copper 1Gb end oned at 2.5 GB.
Would you warn me if you have some more I need 4 for my C3560cx's?
Did You buy all my Cisco SFP :-)
@@MyPlayHouse no no, the ware on 0 already :)
@@windoc2 okay,, I did sell the ones I had..
I wonder if the red pipe has improved your WiFi down there!
If you're actually talking about using the red pipe as a Wave Guide... I don't think so. His internet will be better because he'll be able to blink light down the cable inside the pipe. 😂
The lid was open,, I think that would be where the wifi came in :-) It was really slow!!
Yes, I was indeed joking. Haha
nice! :D
Thanks! 😄
:o you xD
and btw good video
Hi @f1r3man1000
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
Draw wire anyone? 🤦♂️
Would have made it easier,, I do not have one.
@@MyPlayHouse with hindsight, before you installed the pipe, run a draw wire inside it. Then you can use it to pull wires through. When you pull new wires through, also pull a new draw wire through so you always have a draw wire available. P.s. I'd probably have used slightly larger pipe too. Makes it much easier to pull cables through.
I'm in the uk, and guess who just decided to randomly fail? My VPN server!
I know the feeling,, my editing server died, while I was in Portugal,,,,3000km to reboot :-/
@@MyPlayHouse it's always a problem with the HPE RAM
You call that bunker 😂
It´s underground,, made out of metal. it is close enough.
First!

This bloody third world country called australia i can barely get 70mbit and you have 10 gbit lol
Well I have a 10Gbit connection in the bunker,, I only have 1Gbit internet. :-)
lgbt+ connection🤣🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😂😂
connection identifies as something other than it really is, confused connection 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes some things that use to be simple,, has gotten complex.. just like the XT60 connectors. :-)
@@MyPlayHouse for the majority of people it is all still very simple, only male and female, no other made up genders or identities
