How long does a typical Fiber Splicing project take in San Bernardino?+
Timelines depend on drop count, pathway complexity, and after-hours restrictions. A small San Bernardino tenant improvement of 20–40 drops usually completes in 2–5 working days. Larger San Bernardino 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.
Do you coordinate Fiber Splicing with general contractors and property managers in San Bernardino?+
Yes. Almost every San Bernardino project we run is coordinated with a GC, architect, MEP engineer, or building management team. Our PMs attend OAC meetings, submit shop drawings and rack elevations, coordinate ceiling access windows with other trades, and honor building rules for freight elevator use, badge access, and after-hours work.
Can existing cable be reused during a Fiber Splicing refresh in San Bernardino?+
Sometimes. On San Bernardino 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 San Bernardino Fiber Splicing install?+
Every San Bernardino 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 provide OTDR traces after splicing?+
Yes — bidirectional Tier 2 OTDR trace on every strand, plus Tier 1 end-to-end insertion loss when the full link is accessible. Delivered as .sor files and a PDF report.
How much does fiber splicing cost per splice?+
Inside-plant pigtail splices in an accessible panel run $50-$100 each on a batch job. OSP splice cases (opening the case, splicing 12-48 strands, re-sealing, OTDR-testing) run $100-$200 per strand plus a mobilization for the truck. Emergency after-hours splicing is billed at premium T&M rates.
