Fibre splicing is one of those jobs that’s done either properly or not at all. There’s no middle ground — a bad splice introduces loss that won’t show up until you’re trying to push 10 Gig through it eighteen months later.

What we splice

OS2 single-mode for backbone runs (between buildings, between floors, anything where distance matters). OM4 multi-mode for shorter high-bandwidth runs (server room to comms room is the common one). FTTP residential — single-mode, internal runs and patch panel terminations.

Every splice is fusion-spliced (not mechanical), every splice gets OTDR-tested, and every job leaves with the trace report on file.

What it costs

Per-splice pricing varies based on whether it’s bench or in-pit, single-mode or multi-mode, and how many splices total. We quote per job. As a rough sense: a 12-fibre patch panel termination at one end is typically $400-$600 fully tested.

What you’ll have

OTDR trace per splice (PDF). Patch panel labelled. Splice tray with sleeves heat-shrunk and stored. If you need it, we’ll provide a fibre certification document for an audit or insurance.

We work with electricians, IT teams, and architects on commercial fit-outs constantly — most of our fibre work comes through trade referrals. If you’ve got a specific fibre job and you want a quote, ring us with the spec sheet (or text us a photo of the existing run) and we’ll get back to you fast.

What clients say

★★★★★
“NBN had been hopeless since we moved in — telstra blamed the modem, modem blamed the line. Perth Metro came out the next day, found a corroded lead-in, replaced it, and we've had zero issues since. Got the test report on the spot.”

“We moved into a 1920s heritage building and the cabling was a nightmare. Perth Metro Cabelling did the entire fit-out over a weekend — Cat6A everywhere, neat rack, and the certification report when they finished. Came in on quote.”

“Got Cat6 run to four rooms during a reno. Sparkies had quoted twice as much and weren't even cabling-licensed. Perth Metro turned up when they said, did it tidy, patched their own holes. Zero complaints.”

FAQ

Fibre Splicing & Termination — common questions

What's fusion splicing vs mechanical splicing? +
Fusion splicing fuses two fibre cores together with a precisely controlled electric arc — lowest loss, longest-lasting, what we use as standard. Mechanical splicing aligns the cores and holds them with index-matching gel — faster but higher loss and more failure-prone over time. We don't use mechanical splicing on permanent installs.
What's OTDR testing? +
Optical Time Domain Reflectometer — it shoots a pulse down the fibre and measures the reflection at every junction, splice and termination. Tells us exactly where any losses or breaks are. Every splice we do gets OTDR-tested and you get the trace report.
Can you splice in-conduit or only on a bench? +
Both. Most pit-to-rack work we splice in-pit using a fusion splicer with battery operation. Bench splicing is fine for cassettes and patch panel terminations.
Do you do residential FTTP fibre? +
Yes — internal FTTP runs for new builds and renovations, including pre-cabling for future fibre. We can also work with your retail provider on the lead-in.
How long does splicing take? +
Per splice, about 5-8 minutes including cleaving, alignment, fusion, sleeve and OTDR test. A typical 12-fibre patch panel termination is a half-day with testing.
