Solutions
Fiber Optics
Fiber backbones engineered for reliability and growth. We design routes, splice, and certify links so your network can scale from today’s needs to tomorrow’s optics without guessing about what was installed.
Backbone design
Single mode and multi mode pathways, slack storage, and enclosure planning based on distance, environment, and upgrade path.
Splicing & terminations
Fusion splicing, MPO/MTP, and connectorized solutions with inspection and cleaning built into the workflow.
Testing & documentation
Loss testing, polarity validation, and closeout packages with results, labeling, and photos you can use years from now.
Delivery approach
Designed for long term uptime
We build fiber systems that are easy to service and upgrade. Pathways, slack, and labeling are planned before boots hit the ground, and we coordinate licensed partners when specific certifications or monitoring are required.
What you receive
- Documented routes, slack storage, and labeling that match what is installed in the field.
- Tier I/Tier II test results organized and archived for easy reference.
- Clear closeout packages with photos of trays, panels, and labeling.
- Coordination with licensed partners when a project requires specific certifications or monitoring arrangements.
Fiber FAQ
Straight answers about fiber
How fast is fiber?
Fiber is speed ready. Speed depends mostly on the optics you plug in. The same fiber can support 1G, 10G, 25G, 100G, and beyond as equipment evolves. That is why fiber is a strong long term backbone.
Singlemode vs multimode, what is the real difference?
Singlemode is often the choice for longer distances and long term flexibility. Multimode is common for shorter in building links where optics can be cost effective. We recommend based on distance, pathways, and upgrade plans.
What are the biggest benefits of fiber?
Long distance, high bandwidth, and electrical isolation. You can often upgrade electronics later without re running the cable.
Is fiber actually “futureproof”?
Nothing is forever, but fiber is one of the safest infrastructure bets. Do it right once with pathways, slack, labeling, and documentation, and upgrades get easier.
How far can fiber run?
It depends on the fiber type and optics, but fiber is designed for long links. We design around an optical budget so you are not guessing.
When does fiber make sense vs copper?
If you need longer distance, higher speeds, electrical isolation, or a clean backbone between closets or buildings, fiber is usually the right tool. For short endpoint runs, copper is often practical.
What is a PON network and why would I use one?
PON uses optical splitters so one feeder can serve many endpoints without powered switching hardware in between. It can reduce closet complexity in some hospitality, multi tenant, and large footprint environments.
What are the tradeoffs with PON?
Bandwidth is shared on segments, optical budgets matter, and troubleshooting differs from traditional switched Ethernet. We help you decide if it fits your operational and support model.
What testing should we expect on a fiber install?
At minimum you should receive end to end performance results. For critical links or troubleshooting, additional testing can help pinpoint where a problem is happening. We recommend what is appropriate, not what is excessive.

Ready to upgrade or repair fiber?
Send us the path drawings, photos, or test results you have. We’ll plan the splice, certification, and documentation package so your backbone is ready for the next optics.
