Core Services

Fiber capability across the project lifecycle.

From initial installation to final testing and network handoff, Obsidian supports the fiber portion of the project with field-focused technical capability.

Fiber Installation

Fiber installation and routing for inside-plant, outside-plant, commercial, broadband, and data center environments, including pathway routing, equipment-space connectivity, backbone placement, and project-specific fiber placement.

Obsidian's fiber installation scope focuses on the fiber and communications infrastructure itself and does not imply turnkey trenching, excavation, HDD, or civil construction.

  • Pathway and fiber routing
  • Equipment-space connectivity
  • Building backbone placement
  • Project-specific fiber placement
  • ISP / FTTH fiber routes
  • Data center fiber pathways
  • Inside-plant backbone fiber
  • OSP fiber routing

Fiber Optic Splicing

Professional fiber optic splicing for new construction and active networks. Splicing scope can range from production build work to network modifications, restoration, relocations, and project closeout.

  • Single-fiber fusion splicing
  • Loose-tube cable
  • OSP closures
  • ISP / FTTH splicing
  • Inside-plant splicing
  • New construction
  • Relocations
  • Network modifications
  • Restoration

Service Environments

Fiber expertise across broadband, data center, and commercial infrastructure.

Broadband & OSP

FTTH and OSP work centers on distribution cable, high-count fiber, closure preparation, route changes, and verified handoff across forward-build and active-network projects.

  • Forward-build and network expansion
  • Distribution and feeder fiber
  • OSP closures and high-count splicing
  • Relocations, cutovers, and reroutes
  • Fault isolation and restoration

Data Centers

High-density fiber in data center environments requires controlled routing, backbone and equipment-space connectivity, clean labeling, organized cross-connect work, and test documentation that matches the project scope.

  • High-density and backbone connectivity
  • Equipment-space fiber routing
  • Splicing and cross-connect support
  • Structured fiber cabling
  • Testing, labeling, and documentation

Commercial & Enterprise

Commercial and enterprise scopes connect building backbones, equipment rooms, MDF / IDF spaces, and campus routes through organized inside-plant fiber infrastructure.

  • Building and campus backbone fiber
  • MDF / IDF and patch-panel connectivity
  • Fiber routing and termination
  • Backbone upgrades and network-room changes
  • Testing, labeling, and closeout

Telecommunications Infrastructure

Telecommunications projects often place a defined fiber scope inside a larger construction or maintenance program. Obsidian coordinates that scope with primes, construction teams, network operators, and field leadership.

  • New construction and production splicing
  • Network modifications and maintenance
  • Planned transitions and cutovers
  • Test packages and closeout support
  • Additional specialized field capacity

Testing & Verification

The splice is not finished until the fiber is verified.

Test data connects field workmanship to the condition of the fiber. Obsidian uses project-specific verification and diagnostic workflows to characterize links, identify events, isolate faults, and organize results for the teams responsible for handoff.

Testing methods are selected according to the project scope; not every project requires every method, and final acceptance authority remains with the contractually responsible party unless otherwise specified.

OTDR

Event-based analysis used to identify distance, loss, reflectance, and physical events along a fiber path.

IOLM

Intelligent link characterization used when required by project specifications and supported by the applicable EXFO test platform.

Optical Power / Loss Verification

Power-level or end-to-end loss verification performed where the method and reference requirements are defined by the project scope.

Troubleshooting

Test data used to support fault isolation, field diagnosis, event location, and decisions about repair or further investigation.

Closeout Documentation

Organized test files and field information prepared for project handoff, troubleshooting records, and closeout review.

Field Equipment
