This customer contacted us for fiber optic repair at their North Richland Hills, TX campus. They had a company working on a drainage project and dug up the fiber between two buildings not once but twice in two different spots.
In order to get this customer back to their original state before their fiber was dug up, we needed to pull a new fiber between the buildings. Splicing in an open ditch that needed more digging under the repaired fiber was not a good option especially since the cable was damaged again about one hundred feet away. We ended up pulling in a new 6 strand 50-micron multi-mode fiber. The challenge was they needed it before school started the next morning! Their original fiber was 62.5 micron which not all suppliers carry anymore so we needed to provide the more popular 50-micron fiber. The only catch was we needed to supply them with 50-micron fiber transceivers for their switches. We started that morning and worked until about nine o'clock that night. It was a long day, but they were ready for school the next morning which was also their first day of school back since covid shut them down, so it was imperative we finish it the same day.
