Survey the path
Identify the endpoints and access along the route. Confirm the cable rating, available pathway space and pulling constraints before materials are ordered.
Install and terminate
Follow manufacturer limits on bend radius and pulling tension. Label the ends, clean and inspect connectors, and document each strand assignment.
Test before handoff
Agree on the testing method and acceptance criteria before work. Collect the test results and as-built records so your team can identify and troubleshoot each link.

Frequently asked questions
What should a fiber handoff include?
Ask for strand and port labels, test results, and a record of the endpoints and installed cable type.
Can existing conduit carry new fiber?
It depends on available space, access, route geometry and the cable requirements. Inspect the pathway before ordering or pulling cable.
