Fiber Optic Installation Burbank, CA | Licensed C-7
Fiber optic installation in Burbank
Burbank moves more video than almost any city its size, and copper runs out fast when edit bays, render farms and storage live in different rooms or different buildings. Media District tenants on Olive and Alameda ask for fiber between the machine room and the suites.

Campuses with more than one building, like the medical offices around Buena Vista Street or a school site, need fiber between IDFs because Cat6 stops at 100 meters. Warehouses near the airport need a clean link from the front office to the far end of the floor.
We install single-mode and multimode fiber in Burbank, indoor and outdoor, in conduit, in riser and across ceilings. We fusion splice, terminate, test with an OTDR or power meter and leave you a labeled panel with results. If you are not sure whether fiber or Cat6A is the right call, the free site survey will show you the distances and the options.
Copper tops out at 100 meters; fiber goes kilometers and is immune to the electrical noise you get near motors, lighting ballasts and parking-lot transformers. Single-mode (OS2) is our default for anything between buildings; OM4 multimode for short data-center and closet-to-closet links.
What is included
- Single-mode and multimode fiber between buildings, floors and IDF closets
- Fusion splicing, LC/SC termination and enclosures rated for the environment
- OTDR and power-meter testing with a printed report
- Outdoor-rated, armored and direct-burial fiber for campuses, lots and yards
- Media converters, SFP selection and switch handoff
- Repair of cut or damaged fiber with minimal downtime

Fiber Optic Installation across Burbank
Fiber jobs in Burbank cluster in three places. The Media District, where post and broadcast tenants along Alameda, Olive and Riverside Drive move large files and want 10 Gbps or better between rooms. The Northwest Burbank industrial area along Empire Avenue, Winona Avenue and Hollywood Way, where buildings are long and a second IDF is often 400 feet from the first. And multi-building sites such as the medical corridor near Providence Saint Joseph and school campuses under Burbank Unified. Older buildings Downtown may need new conduit, and we handle that with the Building and Safety Division on Third Street.
Survey, install, document
Survey
We confirm distance, pathway, fiber type and the equipment on both ends, then price the run and the terminations.
Install and splice
Fiber is pulled with proper tension and bend radius, spliced or terminated, and landed in a labeled enclosure.
Test and hand off
Every strand is tested for loss and documented so your IT team knows exactly what they have.
Fiber Optic Installation in Burbank — questions we get
Do I need fiber or is Cat6A enough for my Burbank business?
If every run is under 100 meters and you need 10 Gbps or less, Cat6A usually does the job. Fiber wins when runs are longer, when you link two buildings, when there is electrical interference, or when a Burbank post house or studio tenant wants headroom for 25, 40 or 100 Gbps. We measure your runs during the free site survey and tell you plainly which one fits.
Can you run fiber between two buildings on a Burbank property?
Yes. Between buildings we use outdoor-rated or armored fiber in conduit, and trenching or existing pathways depending on the site. That is common on Burbank campuses near the airport, at medical office groups on Buena Vista and at schools. Underground work may need a permit from the City of Burbank, and we coordinate it. We terminate and test both ends and document everything.
How long does fiber installation take in Burbank?
A single link between two closets in a Media District or Downtown Burbank building is often a one-day job once the pathway is ready. Multi-building or underground runs take longer because of conduit, permits and scheduling with the property. The free site survey gives you a real timeline for your building rather than a guess.
When does a building need fiber instead of copper?
When a run is longer than 100 meters, when it crosses between buildings or floors with separate electrical grounds, or when you need more than 10 Gbps. Camera systems on large lots and campuses usually need fiber to the far poles.
Can you repair a cut fiber line?
Yes. We locate the break with an OTDR, splice or re-terminate, and re-test. Most single breaks are fixed the same day once we are on site.
Do you test fiber after installation?
Every strand is tested with an optical power meter and, on longer runs, an OTDR. You get the loss report with the invoice.
