How long does a typical Fusion Splicing project take in Millbrae?+
Timelines depend on drop count, pathway complexity, and after-hours restrictions. A small Millbrae tenant improvement of 20–40 drops usually completes in 2–5 working days. Larger San Mateo County projects with backbone fiber, MDF/IDF buildouts, and multiple floors typically run 2–6 weeks. We publish a per-phase schedule with the quote so your GC and IT team can coordinate cutover.
Can existing cable be reused during a Fusion Splicing refresh in Millbrae?+
Sometimes. On Millbrae refresh projects we Fluke-test the existing plant first: if runs pass CAT6 or CAT6A channel spec and pathways are clean, they stay. Anything failing certification, abandoned per NEC 800.25, or unlabeled gets removed and replaced. You get a channel-by-channel keep/replace decision — not a blanket rip-and-replace bill.
What documentation do we get at the end of a Millbrae Fusion Splicing install?+
Every Millbrae project closes with Fluke DSX (or OTDR for fiber) certification reports for every port, a TIA-606-B labeled patch schedule, redlined as-built drawings, rack elevations, warranty registration, and a MAC-ready cabling database. Your IT team can pick it up cold on day one.
Do you support multi-site rollouts anchored in Millbrae?+
Yes. Many of our Millbrae-based clients scale Fusion Splicing to additional sites across California and nationally. A single PM standardizes drawings, materials, testing thresholds, and closeout format across every location, so IT sees identical documentation whether the site is in Millbrae or Chicago.
Can you match colors and strand assignments to my existing scheme?+
Yes. Send us your existing patch schedule and cable color code and we'll match it in the new splice tray. If none exists we default to TIA-598-C strand color coding.
Do you provide the pigtails and splice sleeves?+
Yes, and we stock Corning, CommScope, and Panduit LC/SC/MTP pigtails in common wavelengths and jacket ratings, plus 60mm and 40mm splice sleeves for standard and ribbon work.
What specific permits are required for commercial cabling projects in Millbrae?+
For most commercial low-voltage cabling projects in Millbrae, a permit from the City of Millbrae Planning and Building Department is required. This often falls under electrical permits for low-voltage work, ensuring compliance with the California Building Code and local city ordinances. Plans typically need to demonstrate adherence to firestopping, pathway fill rates, and conduit installation standards. Access Cabling handles the full permitting process, from application submission to final inspection scheduling.
