If the two buildings are more than about 300 feet of cable path apart, or they are on separate electrical services, fiber is the right answer. It ignores distance limits and electrical noise, and it does not carry a lightning or ground-fault problem from one building to the other. Most multi-building sites along San Fernando Road and on South Brand fall into that category. We measure the real path on the free site survey.

A simple link between two buildings with an existing conduit can be done in a day, including splicing and testing. If we need to trench, core through a wall, or work in a downtown riser with after-hours rules, plan on several days plus any permit review at the City of Glendale Building and Safety. Studios and campuses with multiple closets take longer. We give you a schedule with the quote after the free site survey.

Yes. We fusion-splice, re-terminate and test existing fiber, whether it is a broken strand in a warehouse off Sonora Avenue or an unlabeled panel in a downtown Glendale telecom room. We can also test dark fiber a landlord says is already there, which is worth doing before you sign a lease on Brand or Central. Bring us the problem and we will look at it during a free site survey.

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.

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.

Every strand is tested with an optical power meter and, on longer runs, an OTDR. You get the loss report with the invoice.
