How Cable Technicians Prepare Your Home for Fiber Installation
When you schedule a new fiber installation, it’s easy to think the process ends once the cable reaches your doorstep. In reality, that’s when the most precise and technical work begins. Behind every reliable internet connection is a Moldcable technician ensuring your home setup meets professional standards, from the initial site check to the final speed test.
1. The Site Check: Understanding the Home Layout
Every installation starts with a quick but detailed site inspection. Moldcable technicians review how the fiber line reaches your property, whether underground, along exterior walls, or through existing conduit routes. They identify the best entry point, verify grounding requirements, and assess where the Optical Network Terminal and router will be placed. This preparation step ensures that your home’s connection is not only fast but also safe, neat, and compliant with all technical standards.
2. Routing and Preparing the Connection Path
Next comes the physical preparation. Depending on the home type, technicians may install a small junction box outside, route fiber through existing conduit, or discreetly run it along baseboards or wall corners.
They take extra care to protect the fiber from sharp bends, moisture, and potential damage points. Safety measures, like using cable clips, anchors, and protective sleeves, ensure your setup remains secure for years to come.
3. Fiber Splicing and Equipment Setup
Once the route is ready, the fiber is terminated and spliced. Using high-precision fusion splicers, Moldcable technicians join the incoming fiber to the fiber leading to your Optical Network Terminal. Each splice is tested immediately to confirm signal strength and performance.
Afterward, the Optical Network Terminal and router are installed, configured, and connected to power. The technician ensures the placement optimizes Wi-Fi coverage throughout your home.
4. Testing, Activation, and Performance Check
Before finalizing the installation, Moldcable technicians perform a series of tests using light meters and diagnostic tools to verify signal quality, speed, and connection stability.
They confirm that your devices can connect smoothly, explain how to monitor your network, and ensure you have the proper login credentials for your service provider’s portal. This step ensures your fiber connection performs at the promised speed and reliability.
5. Clean-Up and Final Verification
Professionalism extends beyond installation. Moldcable technicians make sure all cables are secured, excess materials are removed, and the work area is left clean. Before leaving, they double-check that your connection is active, stable, and fully documented in Moldcable’s internal system, complete with test readings and photos for future service records.
