WHAT CREWS WE DEPLOY

Five lines of work. Every crew arrives tooled for the scope, with a foreman who owns production reporting and one invoice at the end of the cycle.

FUSION SPLICING

Single-mode and multimode fusion splicing for data hall backbone, campus OSP and FTTH distribution. Ribbon and single-fiber. Mass fusion for 12- and 24-fiber ribbon when the schedule demands throughput.

SPEC — FUSION SPLICING

TASKS PERFORMED

Single-fiber fusion

SMF and MMF, pigtail and mid-span, including tight-buffer and loose-tube prep.

Mass fusion (ribbon)

12-fiber and 24-fiber ribbon splice, ribbonization and breakout where required.

OTDR testing

Bidirectional OTDR at 1310/1550 nm (SM) or 850/1300 nm (MM); event and link loss reported per span.

Certification

Insertion and return loss where scoped, with launch and receive cables documented on the test record.

Enclosure work

Tray dress, splice tray allocation, buffer storage and closure sealing per manufacturer practice.

CREW CERTIFICATIONS

  • Fusion splicer proficiency, Fujikura and Sumitomo platforms
  • OTDR interpretation against project acceptance criteria
  • OSHA 10 minimum, plus site-specific orientation

DELIVERABLES

  • OTDR traces, .sor and PDF, per fiber and direction
  • Splice loss summary keyed to fiber ID
  • As-built splice map and enclosure tray schedule
  • Out-of-spec span list with retest results

STRUCTURED CABLING

Horizontal and backbone copper and fiber in white space and telecom rooms. Pulled, dressed, terminated, tested and labeled to TIA-942, not left half-finished for the next crew.

SPEC — STRUCTURED CABLING

TASKS PERFORMED

Cat6 / Cat6A

Permanent link and channel installs, consolidation points and zone cabling where designed.

Fiber trunks

Pre-terminated and field-terminated trunks, MPO/MTP backbone to cassette or breakout.

MPO / MTP

Polarity Method A, B and C verification, gender and key orientation checked before cutover.

Pathway

Cable tray, ladder rack, basket tray and overhead pathway, filled to spec, supported and firestopped.

Labeling

Port, patch panel and cable identifiers to your standard or TIA-606-C by default.

CREW CERTIFICATIONS

  • Fluke DSX and CertiFiber certification testing
  • MPO polarity verification and endface inspection
  • TIA-942 and BICSI installation practices

DELIVERABLES

  • Copper certification reports, permanent link or channel
  • Fiber insertion loss and OTDR records as scoped
  • Cable schedule and port map
  • Label legend matching as-built identifiers

RACK AND STACK

Cabinet installation, hardware deployment and interconnect in live or pre-live white space. Crews that follow change control, work clean around production load, and hand back documentation the NOC can use.

SPEC — RACK AND STACK

TASKS PERFORMED

Cabinet install

Position, level, bond and dress cabinets to raised-floor or slab layout.

Hardware deploy

Servers, switches, PDUs and optical gear per bill of materials and rack elevation.

Patching

Copper and fiber patch to port schedule, dressed and strain-relieved to aisle standard.

Cross-connects

MMR and customer cage cross-connects with circuit ID capture.

As-builts

Updated elevations, port maps and photo log where the site requires it.

CREW CERTIFICATIONS

  • Change control and maintenance window discipline
  • ESD handling and live-floor work practices
  • Site badging, escort and tool-inventory protocols

DELIVERABLES

  • Rack elevation redlines against design
  • Patch schedule with A and Z ends
  • Asset tag and serial capture sheet
  • Photo documentation package on request

OUTSIDE PLANT

Aerial and underground OSP for campus and FTTH distribution. The crews that work the data hall also work the street, so the handoff between inside plant and OSP stops being someone else's problem.

SPEC — OUTSIDE PLANT

TASKS PERFORMED

Aerial

Strand, lashing, snowshoe and pole hardware, mid-span access and slack storage.

Underground

Conduit pull, innerduct, vault and handhole dress, mule tape left for the next pull.

FTTH drops

Drop placement, NID and ONT prep support, distribution splice at the pedestal or closure.

Splice enclosures

Dome and in-line closures, tray allocation and re-entry documentation.

Vault work

Rack, coil and label in vaults and handholes to your OSP standard.

CREW CERTIFICATIONS

  • Aerial and underground OSP safety
  • Work zone traffic control where required
  • Closure manufacturer qualification

DELIVERABLES

  • OSP splice schematics and fiber assignments
  • OTDR and span loss records
  • Vault and handhole as-built photos
  • Slack and coil location notes

PUNCH AND QA/QC

When the build is done and the walkthrough is next week, the documentation has to match the floor. We audit labels, verify test results and close punch items before the tour rather than during it.

SPEC — PUNCH AND QA/QC

TASKS PERFORMED

Label audits

Walkdown against the cable schedule with a mismatch log by location and photo.

Test verification

Sample or full retest of copper and fiber results, flagging out-of-spec links.

Documentation package

Traces, certifications, as-builts and punch status assembled into one closeout set.

Punch closeout

Remaining items worked to your acceptance criteria, retested and signed off.

CREW CERTIFICATIONS

  • Test equipment proficiency matching the install scope
  • Acceptance criteria interpretation for hyperscale and colo owners

DELIVERABLES

  • Punch list with status and owner
  • Retest records for closed items
  • Final closeout package, binder or digital
  • Walkthrough support on request
