24/7 emergency cabling and fiber repair for commercial and industrial customers across California. When a fiber cut takes down a warehouse, a backhoe strikes an OSP duct, or a flood destroys an MDF, we mobilize a certified crew with fusion splicers, OTDR, and spare cable to restore service — usually the same day. C-10/C-7 licensed, insured, and staffed for after-hours calls. CSLB #992009.
Bay Area and Sacramento metro: 2-4 hours to site during business hours, 3-6 hours nights and weekends. Los Angeles, San Diego, Central Valley, and Reno metro: 4-8 hours through partner offices. Remote sites and out-of-state emergencies dispatched next available flight or drive time. If you're on a service agreement with us, response is contractually guaranteed.
Cut or damaged fiber (single-mode and multi-mode, indoor and OSP), backbone copper failures, water-damaged MDF/IDF closets, storm damage to aerial or underground plant, construction-caused outages (backhoe, trencher, directional bore strikes), UPS or PDU failures taking down a rack, rodent damage in plenum spaces, and switch-to-panel patch failures. We also do emergency temporary bypass runs to keep operations up while permanent repairs are planned.
On arrival we shoot an OTDR from both ends to locate the fault distance, expose and clean the cable at the strike, prep and fusion-splice each affected strand (typical loss under 0.1 dB per splice), verify with OTDR and light-source/power-meter, then restore in a splice tray or emergency enclosure. For OSP cuts we can pull a temporary bypass while the permanent restoration cable is ordered and buried. All splice records and OTDR traces are delivered as part of the repair report.
Site address and after-hours access contact, description of the failure (which service is down, when it happened, what changed), building/floor/room of the affected IDF or MDF, cable type if known (single-mode, multi-mode, copper category, strand count), and any test data your IT team has already pulled. A photo of the damage from a phone often saves an hour of diagnostic work.
After the repair we walk the plant with your team and identify the failure points that are likely to fail next: unlabeled cable, missing firestop, undocumented splice locations, aging OSP without slack loops, backbone runs without a redundant path, MDFs without UPS or generator, and racks without proper grounding. We provide a written remediation plan you can budget and schedule out.
Share your scope — square footage, drop or device count, and timeline — and a senior estimator returns a written, itemized proposal within 48 hours. Free site survey, no obligation.
Vendor-agnostic. We specify best-in-class components for each project — copper, fiber, racks, power, wireless and access control from the industry's leading manufacturers.

Bay Area customers typically see a crew within 2-4 hours during business hours and 3-6 hours after hours. LA, San Diego, and Central Valley responses are 4-8 hours through partner offices. Existing service-agreement customers get contractually guaranteed windows.
Yes — we carry Fujikura fusion splicers, OTDRs, and single-mode and multi-mode splice trays on emergency vehicles. Typical single-strand repair from OTDR shot to restored light is 30-90 minutes once the cable is exposed and cleaned.
Yes. We locate the fault with an OTDR, expose the cable, and either splice in place with a splice enclosure or pull a full replacement segment depending on damage severity. If the damage is in an OSP duct or handhole we coordinate with your locate service and any utility easement holders.
We can bring in temporary switches and a portable rack to restore service on essential circuits within hours, then rebuild the permanent MDF over the following days. Insurance-work documentation (photos, materials list, labor detail) is included in the invoice packet.
Yes. Existing customers use our dispatch line. New emergency callers reach an on-call project manager through the main number — do not leave a voicemail if it's an active outage.
Emergency rates apply — typically 1.5x standard labor for after-hours, 2x for nights/holidays, plus travel and materials at cost. We give you a not-to-exceed estimate before starting any work over $2,500. Service-agreement customers pay contract rates.
Yes. For fiber we can run a temporary indoor-rated jumper across a damaged segment, splice or connectorize, and light the circuit until the permanent OSP or riser replacement is scheduled.
Yes. We supply itemized labor and materials, dated site photos, damage reports, and OTDR/test data suitable for property or general-liability claims.
After the repair we walk the plant and give you a written list of failure risks — unlabeled cable, missing firestop, aging OSP without slack, single-path backbones, closets without UPS. Most can be remediated during a scheduled maintenance window at standard rates.
Yes. A service agreement locks in response times, rates, and priority dispatch — typically for hospitals, data centers, distribution centers, and multi-site retailers. We tailor the SLA to your uptime requirements.
