Engineering / ELV
LAN & Fiber Optic
Plan copper and fiber routes between work areas, racks and buildings. Agree link specifications and what the cabling contractor will test.
Discuss your project
- Fiber cable route
- Splice and patch panel
- Link loss test
Plan the scope
Routes and endpoints
Survey pathways, link lengths, cabinet space and environmental conditions. Identify the endpoints and select the copper category or fiber type for the design.
Termination and labeling
Agree patch panel, connector and labeling conventions, firestop responsibility, pathway provisions and the changeover window for live links.
Test and hand over
Measure each agreed link
Match copper certification or fiber loss test results to cable IDs. Specify any additional fiber trace testing in the proposal.
Document installed routes
Deliver port schedules, rack and route records, and test results with exceptions identified for follow-up.
Maintenance after handover
Checks to agree with the site team
Keep patch records current, inspect damaged or moved links and repeat the agreed tests when a termination or route changes.
Confirm in the quotation
Prepare for a site survey
Share the site layout, network endpoints and links that must stay live. Confirm pathways, active equipment and cutover support in the quotation.
Discuss your engineering scope
Share your site area, required systems and target timeline so we can discuss next steps.
