• Terminate fiber assemblies to patch panels with proper routing and bend radius management, verifying end face quality via inspection microscopy prior to connector mating.

Testing and Troubleshooting:

• Test and certify completed fiber links using Fluke loss testers and Fluke OTDR testers, verifying splice loss values and total link insertion loss against project specifications.
• Interpret OTDR traces to diagnose and resolve fiber faults including high-loss splices, damaged connectors, and cable breaks, pinpointing fault locations along the fiber span.
• Maintain complete project documentation including splice loss records, OTDR traces, as-built cable records, and corrective action logs for datacenter, healthcare, education, and commercial facility installations.

Minimum Requirements

• Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience performing single fiber fusion splicing on inside plant fiber optic cables in datacenter, healthcare, education, or commercial environments.
