Fiber optic cables for an outside plant (OSP) are engineered to withstand installation procedures and stress from exposure to the external environment. The team at FiberTechs offers top-tier OSP fiber optic services, tailored to Texas’ specific environmental conditions. These cables perform exceptionally well in wet conditions and in extreme temperatures, providing the flexibility needed for various OSP requirements.
What is Considered an Outside Plant? (OSP)
In the telecommunications sector, an outside plant encompasses the physical cabling, supporting infrastructure such as conduits, cabinets, towers, or poles, and any associated hardware, located between a demarcation point in a switching facility and a demarcation point in another switching center or customer’s location.
Our Outside Plant Fiber Optic Services in Texas
FiberTechs offers a range of OSP fiber optic services including termination, splicing, and testing. Our team can provide these crucial fiber optic services services in any environment and offer solutions to improve existing infrastructure.
- Fiber optic repair – We offer fiber optic repair, troubleshooting, and testing for outside plant locations.
- Fiber optic termination – Fiber optic termination is the connection of fiber or wire to a device, such as a wall outlet or equipment, which allows for connecting the cable to other cables or devices. Proper fiber optic termination will protect the fibers from dirt or damage while in use and prevent excessive loss of light, thus, making a network run more smoothly and efficiently.
- Fiber splicing – Fiber optic splicing is an important method of joining two fiber optic cables together. It is a preferred solution when an available fiber optic cable is not sufficiently long enough for the required distance.
- Testing services – The constant evolution of high-speed optical fiber systems raises the level of testing, accuracy, and precision required on the fiber infrastructure to support these applications and services.
- Other services include:
- Aerial
- Installation of Fiber Optic and Copper Cables
- Telephone Pole Make-Ready
