Fibre Optic Repairs
Fibre Optic Cables are widely recognized for their reliability and high-speed transmission of data communications. Given the vast amount of critical information coursing through them every minute, any fault or breakage in these cables can lead to significant disruptions and must be promptly addressed.
Various factors, including construction activities, termination failures, or rodent damage, can result in damage to fibre cables. So, the question arises: can fibre optic cables be repaired, and what does it entail? The straightforward answer is yes, but it necessitates the expertise of a fibre cabling specialist like Project Skills Solutions.
Fibre Optic Cable Repair
The initial step involves pinpointing the fault in the fibre optic cable, often visible due to damage from construction activities. When the cause isn’t apparent, fibre engineers employ an Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) to test the cable. This specialized Fibre Optic tester measures the distance between the OTDR and the cable fault, facilitating fault location, cause investigation, and repair method consideration.
Repairing a damaged fibre optic cable differs from a copper cable, requiring specialized fusion splice equipment. Additionally, the problem is exacerbated as the damage typically shortens the cable.
The approach to fibre optic cable repair varies, necessitating a termination method suited to the cable’s environment. Our fibre engineers arrive fully equipped with specialized tools and extensive fibre cabling experience to execute the most effective repair, restoring the cable’s functionality. In instances where the damage is severe and repair isn’t feasible, we offer the option of installing a new fibre optic cable.
