Fiber Optic Cable Repair in Raleigh, North Carolina

One of the advantages of working with us is that we are experienced in troubleshooting fiber optic cable problems. While it is obvious where the problem is when you’ve accidentally dug into the cable, it isn’t as easy to determine when it was harmed by mole activity or another cause. With the use of an optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), we send light pulses through the cable which are deflected at the point of the damage so our technician is alerted to the position of the damage and can get to work on the fiber optic cable repair. Once the break is uncovered, the splicing can be done using the most effective method for the situation and then placed in an enclosure so it can be reburied. Before covering the line once again, we conduct testing to be sure that reflectance, connector loss, and slice loss are not an issue.
