Fiber Optic Cabling & Splicing in Los Angeles
Los Angeles Cabling Company provides professional fiber optic cabling and splicing services for commercial, industrial, and residential clients across Los Angeles County. We design, install, test, and certify fiber optic networks that deliver fast, reliable connectivity for your business or facility.
What Is Fiber Optic Cabling?
Fiber optic cabling uses thin glass or plastic strands to transmit data as light signals. This technology provides faster speeds over longer distances than traditional copper cables.
Fiber optic cables can carry data up to 100 Gbps or more, which is ideal for high-bandwidth applications. Our team installs both single-mode and multi-mode fiber optic systems. Single-mode fiber works best for long-distance connections, while multi-mode fiber suits shorter runs within buildings.
Why Choose Fiber Optic Cabling for Your Business?
Fiber optic cabling offers several advantages over copper wiring. Fiber cables provide significantly faster data transfer speeds. Fiber optic also supports longer cable runs without signal loss. Importantly, fiber is immune to electromagnetic interference. In our experience installing fiber systems across Los Angeles, businesses see immediate improvements in network performance. Fiber optic cabling also uses less physical space than copper cables, which helps in crowded server rooms and data centers.
For structured cabling installation projects that include fiber components, we are experts at planning, designing, installing, and documenting these blended network environments. This ensures your network infrastructure works together efficiently.
What Fiber Optic Services Do We Provide?
We offer complete fiber optic solutions from design to certification. Our services include single-mode and multi-mode installation, fusion splicing, OTDR and OLTS testing, and backbone distribution systems.
Our technicians handle campus fiber distribution that connects multiple buildings. We also design and install data center and server room cabling systems that organize your network infrastructure. Each project includes detailed documentation and certification to meet California's low-voltage standards.
How Does Fiber Optic Splicing Work?
Fiber optic splicing joins two fiber cables together permanently. We use fusion splicing, which melts the fiber ends and fuses them using an electric arc. This method creates a continuous light path with minimal signal loss.
Fusion splicing requires specialized equipment and trained technicians. Our splicing work consistently achieves low insertion loss, typically under 0.1 dB per splice. We test every splice using OTDR equipment to verify performance before completing the installation.
When should you consider splicing? Splicing is necessary when extending existing fiber runs, repairing damaged cables, or connecting backbone systems. We document all splice locations and test results for your records.
What Testing & Certification Do You Provide?
We test and certify all fiber optic installations using industry-standard equipment. Our testing includes OTDR and OLTS measurements. These tests verify that your fiber network meets performance specifications.
OTDR testing identifies any issues along the fiber cable, including splice quality and connector performance. We provide detailed test reports that show insertion loss, return loss, and overall link performance. These reports are essential for warranty compliance and future troubleshooting.
In our testing work across the Los Angeles area, we follow TIA/EIA standards for fiber optic networks. This ensures your installation will support current as well as future bandwidth requirements. Our network testing and certification services give you confidence in the installation and performance of your fiber infrastructure.

How Do You Handle Data Center Fiber Projects?
Data center fiber installations require careful planning and execution. We design fiber distribution systems that support high-density connections and future scalability. Our team installs trunk cables, patch panels, and cross-connects that organize your fiber infrastructure.
We use structured pathways and cable management to keep fiber organized and protected. Proper cable management also prevents damage from excessive bending or tension. And for easy identification and maintenance, our technicians label all fiber connections.
For data center and server room cabling verification, we test every connection before going live. This prevents downtime and ensures your network operates at peak performance. Our documentation includes detailed cable maps and test reports.
What Types of Fiber Optic Projects Do We Handle?
Our fiber optic cabling experience includes commercial office buildings, industrial facilities, hospitals and healthcare clinics, schools and educational campuses, as well as municipal installations. We work on new construction and retrofit projects of all sizes.
For security cabling systems, fiber provides a secure backbone that's difficult to tap or intercept. We integrate fiber with access control and door security systems that require reliable, high-speed connections. Our team also supports fire alarm systems and integration projects that depend on fiber links.
In healthcare and education environments, we install fiber networks that support HIPPA and other secure, high-performance applications. These installations require minimal downtime and careful coordination. We work during off-hours to avoid disrupting operations.
For audiovisual and conference rooms, fiber optic cabling delivers the bandwidth needed for 4K video and high-quality audio. We also support video surveillance and CCTV systems that transmit high-definition video over long distances. Sound masking and paging systems can also benefit from fiber backbone connections.
How Long Does Fiber Optic Installation Take?
Installation time varies based on project size and complexity. Small office installations typically take 1-3 days. Larger campus or data center projects may take several weeks.
In our experience, proper preparation speeds up installation. We perform site surveys to identify potential challenges and coordinate the best network cabling solution before starting work. This helps us order the right materials and schedule resources efficiently.
We coordinate with other trades for prevailing wage and public works projects that have specific requirements. Our team holds the necessary certifications and follows California labor standards for these installations. We can also provide maintenance and emergency services for ongoing support.
