REPAIRING SEVERED CABLES

We’ve done a lot of cheering about the spread of fiber optics networks for municipal Internet connections here on the Connected Fiber blog. We want to remind our readers that, when you have a fiber optics maintenance issue or any length of cable that needs fixing or replacing, we can quickly return your connection to the online world back to normal.

 

WHAT CAUSES FIBER OPTIC DAMAGE?

Even when adhering to proper maintenance schedules, there are plenty of times where unforeseen circumstances can knock a home or an entire section of town off the grid. For example, take a look at this article published by The Meadville Tribune which describes the efforts to repair a fiber optics cable which was severed by city officials during some recent road maintenance at an intersection within the city of Meadville, PA.

 

City workers engaged in curb repair at a street intersection accidentally severed a fiber optics line, which provided landline phone services to a great deal of people located throughout the region. The fiber optics cable was unmarked and only located six inches below the ground, according to Meadville city officials who remarked on the incident.

 

Customers reported outages throughout Meadville and in locations spread throughout three different counties in the area of northeastern Pennsylvania. Although this incident is from a few years ago, it serves as a reminder that even a tiny cut in a severed line can leave many people disconnected from their network. It demonstrates the incredible power that one fiber optics line plays in connecting large regions to a network.
