Commercial fiber, spliced, terminated and certified.
I'm Erdni, a fiber technician working in NYC commercial buildings and data centers. I install and splice fiber, terminate it, and test every link to TIA standards, then hand you results you can file.
What I do
Single-mode and multimode, from a single strand to full riser and backbone runs.
Fusion splicing
Pigtail splicing into SC and LC adapter panels, splice trays, protection sleeves and enclosure dressing. Armored and plenum distribution cable prepped properly.
Termination
Field termination of LC and SC connectors, scoped and cleaned before anything gets plugged in. Corning and Panduit systems.
MTP / MPO trunks and cassettes
Trunk installs, cassette and panel setup, polarity checked end to end. APC and UPC matched on every interface, because the two do not mix.
Certification testing
Every link tested for loss against the TIA-568.3 limit and saved with a result you can hand to the client or the general contractor.
Troubleshooting
Dead strand, high loss, a run nobody can find. I trace it, inspect the end-faces, and work out whether it is dirt, a bad connector, a bend or a break.
MDF, IDF and riser work
Experience inside occupied commercial buildings: closets on every floor, risers, and data center rows, with the labeling to match.
What gets tested
Loss is measured at the wavelengths the fiber is built for, using a one-jumper reference set fresh for the job, and compared against the standard's limit for that link.
| Fiber | Wavelengths | Limit |
|---|---|---|
| Multimode OM3 / OM4 | 850 / 1300 nm | TIA-568.3 multimode, calculated from the actual link length and connector count |
| Single-mode OS2 | 1310 / 1550 nm | TIA-568.3 single-mode, inside-plant for in-building runs and outside-plant for runs between buildings |
A failing result gets a reason, not just a red mark. Higher loss at 850 nm usually points to a dirty or damaged connector. Higher loss at 1300 nm usually points to a bend in the cable. That tells me where to look first.
How a job runs
Scope it
Confirm the fiber type, strand count, connector type and polish (green APC and blue UPC cannot be mixed), and where each end lands.
Install, splice, terminate
Pull or dress the cable, splice pigtails or terminate connectors, and label as I go.
Inspect and clean
Scope every end-face and clean it before it meets another connector. Most failed tests start here.
Certify every link
Set the reference, run the test on each strand, and save the result.
Hand over
You get the test results, labeled panels and a plain note on anything unusual I found on the way.
Who you're hiring
I run Erdni Fiber out of Brooklyn and I do the work myself. Most of my experience is in real NYC commercial buildings: working around tenants, finding the right closet, and getting links tested and signed off.
I speak English and Russian.
