Fiber Optic Installation and Splicing
Copper has a 90 meter leash and a weakness for electrical noise. When a run is longer than that, when it crosses between buildings, or when it feeds a warehouse full of motors and chargers, fiber is the right tool. It carries more bandwidth over far greater distances and shrugs off the interference that makes long copper runs flaky.
We design and install fiber as the backbone of a larger system, not as a trophy. That means choosing between single-mode and multimode based on the distances and equipment you actually have, building clean pathways between closets, fusion splicing terminations that will not creep loose, and handing you an OTDR trace and loss reading for every strand so the link is proven before anything depends on it.
What the job actually includes.
Backbone and riser design
We map the MDF to IDF links, risers, and building-to-building routes, pick the fiber type and count with growth in mind, and plan pathways that protect the glass for decades.
Fusion splicing and termination
Terminations are fusion spliced onto factory pigtails and landed in labeled enclosures, the method with the lowest loss and the longest service life.
OTDR and light-loss testing
Every strand is tested with an OTDR and power meter against its loss budget, and you get the documented results, not a thumbs up.
Equipment handoff
Transceivers, patch cords, and enclosure layout coordinated with your IT team or MSP so the new backbone lights up without a parts scramble.

Questions we get
Single-mode or multimode, and how do you choose?
Distance and equipment decide it. Multimode covers most in-building links at lower optic cost, while single-mode handles long runs and between-building routes with room to grow. We price the choice against the gear you already own before recommending either.
Do you fusion splice or use field-terminated connectors?
Fusion splicing, in almost every case. Spliced terminations have lower loss and age better than mechanical field connectors, and the measured loss proves the difference on day one.
What does the testing actually include?
An OTDR trace showing every splice and connector along the run, plus a power meter reading checked against the loss budget for the link. Each strand gets tested and verified, and the documented results are yours to keep for troubleshooting and warranty claims later.
Can fiber share pathways with our existing copper?
Usually yes, with protection. Fiber is immune to the electrical noise that bothers copper, but it needs physical protection, so we run it in innerduct or dedicated tray sections where the pathway is shared or crowded.
