Fiber certification

Documented, tested fiber, so the cabling is never the open question.

Typical timeline
1–3 days on site
Ongoing cadence
Per project

ClearPath engineers

When a link is flapping at 3 a.m., you want certification results, not assumptions. We test and certify fiber runs to standard with calibrated equipment, label every strand, and hand you the results in a form an auditor or the next engineer can read.

How we do the work

01 · Assess

We review the plant, run counts, and connector types.

02 · Architect

We define the test standard, thresholds, and labelling convention.

03 · Deploy

We test each run for insertion loss, OTDR, and end-face inspection.

04 · Configure

We remediate and retest any failures before sign-off.

05 · Maintain

Records are retained and runs retested after plant changes.

What the engagement includes

  • Tier 1 loss testing and Tier 2 OTDR traces
  • End-face inspection and cleaning
  • Strand-level labelling and port mapping
  • Remediation of failed runs
  • Certification report per link

What you are left holding

  • Per-link certification report with pass/fail
  • OTDR trace files where required
  • Updated port and patch documentation
  • Punch list of remediated runs

Documentation is yours to keep, whether or not we keep working together.

You probably need this if…

  • Intermittent link errors nobody can localize
  • New building or expansion with undocumented runs
  • Inherited cabling with no test records

How you engage us

The same test standard and the same certification report at every size. What changes is how much plant is in scope.

Option 01 · Fault isolation

A handful of runs behaving badly. We test the suspect strands, localize the fault to a distance along the fiber, and tell you plainly whether the cabling is the cause or the problem is somewhere else.

Option 02 · New pull verification

Fiber has been pulled to the rack and needs proving before anything depends on it. Every new run is certified against standard, labelled, and handed back with results, so a bad splice is found now rather than in production.

Option 03 · Full buildout

A new building or floor, tested end to end: every run certified, patch panels mapped port by port, and a complete certification set the contractor, the auditor, and the next engineer can all read.

Let's scope Fiber certification against your environment.

An hour with one of our engineers gets you a realistic scope, a timeline, and an honest read on what to do first.
