Do you need to dig trenches to run fibre between buildings?

Not usually. Where pits and conduit already exist we reuse them, and the site survey tells you up front if any civil works are needed.

Will we get test results?

Yes. Every fibre is tested and labelled, and the results are handed over at completion with the as-built details for your records.

Can you install the copper cabling and Wi-Fi too?

Yes. Most of our fibre jobs also include CAT6 or CAT6A outlets, comms cabinets or wireless access points, so one team handles the whole network.

Can you work during school holidays or around operations?

Yes. We schedule school work for the holidays and stage cutovers on commercial sites, so each building is only offline for a short, planned window.

Yes. As a certified Molex and Panduit installer, qualifying systems we install carry the manufacturer's 25-year product warranty.

Should we use single-mode or multimode fibre?

Single-mode (OS2) suits links between buildings and long runs. Multimode (OM3 or OM4) suits shorter runs inside a building. Many sites use both, and we recommend the mix at the site survey.

How many fibre cores do we need?

It depends on the equipment at each end and your plans for growth. We confirm core counts with your IT team and allow spare cores so the link has room to expand.

Do you supply pre-terminated fibre?

Yes. Factory pre-terminated trunks are a fast, low-loss option for comms rooms and data cabinets, and we install them alongside spliced fibre where it suits.

How long does a fibre installation take?

It depends on the route, the number of links and access to the site. Your quote sets out the program, and cutovers are planned so downtime stays short.

Which areas do you cover?

Our teams work across NSW, QLD and VIC, and we have delivered fibre projects in five states and territories.

Fibre Installers

Fibre Backbones for Sites That Can't Stop Working

Schools, port terminals, factories and offices rely on the fibre between their buildings. We plan the route, install the cable, splice every core and hand over test results you can file, then cut over one building at a time so the site keeps running.

Single-Mode and Multimode

OS2 between buildings, OM3 and OM4 inside them, sized to your network.

Splicing and Testing In-House

Our own crews fusion splice, terminate and test every core.

Fibre, Copper and Wi-Fi

CAT6A outlets, comms cabinets and wireless access points from the same team.

Staged Cutovers

New links go live one building at a time, planned around your operations.

What We Install

Fibre Work We Do Every Week

The same scope items turn up across hundreds of our fibre jobs, so our crews and stock are set up for them.
