Fibre Optic Cabling Guide: New Installations, Splicing & Repairs in Sussex
Need a new fibre cable installed, an existing fibre network extended, fibre spliced or terminated, or help with a connection that has stopped working?
Wire Wizards installs and works on fibre optic networks across Sussex for businesses, warehouses, commercial sites, homes and larger multi-building properties.
We install new fibre routes from scratch, connect network cabinets and buildings, terminate and fusion splice fibre, extend existing infrastructure and investigate damaged or faulty fibre connections.
You don't need to know whether you need single-mode, multimode, OM3, a particular connector or even whether fibre is the right solution. Tell us what you're trying to connect, or what has stopped working, and we'll work out the sensible way forward.

Not Sure What Fibre Work You Need? Show Us the Job
You don't need to know whether you need single-mode fibre, multimode fibre, OM3, OS2, Cat6 or a wireless bridge before contacting us.
If you're planning a new fibre installation, extending an existing network or trying to work out why a fibre connection has failed, send us a few photos of the site, cable route, network cabinet, equipment or fault.
For a new fibre installation, useful photos include where the connection starts, where it needs to finish, any existing duct or cable route, network cabinets and the buildings or areas that need connecting.
For a fibre fault or repair, useful photos include damaged cable, fibre terminations, patch panels, ONTs, network equipment and warning lights such as LOS or PON.
Tell us what you're trying to connect or what has stopped working. We'll use the information to understand the job and work out the sensible next step
What Are You Trying to Do?
We help with completely new fibre installations, internal fibre backbones, network cabinet links, fibre between buildings, warehouse and commercial fibre cabling, fibre extensions, fusion splicing, termination, damaged fibre and connections that have stopped working.
If you're not sure which type of job you have, choose Not Sure and send us a few photos.
NEW FIBRE INSTALLATIONS
Where Can New Fibre Optic Cabling Be Installed?
Fibre isn't only used to connect two separate buildings.
It can form the backbone of a network inside one large building, connect communications cabinets, extend connectivity across a warehouse or commercial site, or provide a network connection to another building entirely.
Network Cabinet to Network Cabinet
Fibre can provide a high-capacity backbone between communications cabinets where a network needs to cover different areas of the same building or site.
Warehouses & Commercial Buildings
Larger buildings can involve cable distances and network requirements where fibre becomes a useful alternative to long copper runs.
CCTV, WiFi & Network Backbones
Fibre can also carry the network connection to remote areas of a property where WiFi access points, CCTV cameras, computers and other IP equipment are required.
FIBRE BETWEEN BUILDINGS
Can Fibre Optic Cable Be Installed Between Two Buildings?
Yes. Fibre can be an excellent way of creating a network connection between separate buildings.
That might mean a house and an outbuilding, office and warehouse, workshop and main building, or several buildings around one larger commercial site.
Before installing anything, we look at the distance, cable route, buildings at each end and what the connection actually needs to support.
The fibre itself is only part of the solution. The termination and network equipment at both ends need to be designed as part of the same link.

UNDERGROUND DUCT PROBLEM
Can Fibre Run Through an Existing Underground Duct?
If a duct already connects the two locations, it may provide a useful route for a new fibre cable and could avoid unnecessary excavation.
We need to establish where the duct runs, whether it is clear, its condition, available space and whether the cable can be installed without damaging it.
What if the duct is blocked, damaged or full of water?
That doesn't automatically mean the project is impossible.
The route needs to be assessed before deciding whether the existing duct can be used, needs remedial work or whether another route would make more sense.
That's a proper problem-solving section and one I'd definitely keep.

FIBRE VS OTHER OPTIONS
Fibre, Cat6 or a Wireless Bridge: Which Should I Use?
There isn't one answer for every site.
Wire Wizards works with fibre, Ethernet and point-to-point wireless networks, so we're able to look at the actual property rather than recommending fibre simply because somebody searched for fibre.
**Fibre Optic**
A strong choice for longer network links, separate buildings, existing underground ducts and high-capacity network backbones. It is especially useful where distance, reliability and future capacity matter.
**Cat6 Ethernet**
Excellent for normal internal network cabling, offices, WiFi access points, CCTV and shorter network links where the cable distance is suitable.
**Wireless Bridge**
Useful where running a physical cable would be difficult or impractical, particularly between separate buildings, across yards or on larger properties with suitable line of sight.
Wire Wizards installs all three, so we don't need to recommend fibre if another option would suit the site better.
What if I don't know which one I need?
That's normal.
Tell us where your network is now, where you need it to reach and what you need at the other end.
We'll advise from there.
Not Sure What You Need?
Fibre, Cat6 or a Wireless Bridge: Which Should I Use?
You don't need to know whether you need single-mode fibre, multimode fibre, OM3, Cat6 or a wireless bridge before you contact us.
Tell us where the connection starts, where it needs to reach and what you want to use at the other end.
We'll look at the distance, cable route, existing ducts or containment and what the network needs to support. If fibre isn't the most sensible option for the job, we'll tell you.
FIBRE TYPE
Single-Mode or Multimode Fibre: Which Do I Need?
You don't need to decide that before contacting us.
Single-mode and multimode are different types of optical fibre. Which one is appropriate depends on the distance, network design, optical equipment and what the connection needs to support.
The important part is making sure the cable, termination and equipment at both ends are designed to work together.

Wire Wizards NEW FIBRE INSTALL PROCESS
What Happens During a New Fibre Optic Installation?
Plan the Route
We establish where the network starts, where the fibre needs to finish and how the cable can safely travel between those points.
Choose the Fibre
The cable specification needs to suit the route, environment, distance and network equipment.
Install the Cable
The fibre is installed through the appropriate containment, ducting or cable route without damaging the cable.
Prepare the Fibres
Once the cable has been installed, the individual fibres need to be carefully prepared before termination or splicing.
Fusion Splice Where Required
Where the network design requires it, fibres are precisely prepared and fusion spliced to create the optical connection.
Check the Completed Link
The completed fibre connection is checked before it is put into service.

FIBRE FUSION SPLICING
What Is Fibre Fusion Splicing?
Fusion splicing is a method of permanently joining optical fibres together.
The individual fibres are carefully prepared and cleaved before being accurately aligned and fused together using specialist equipment.
Wire Wizards carries out fusion splicing where appropriate during new fibre installations, alterations, extensions and fibre repairs.
FIBRE FAULTS
My Fibre Connection Has Stopped Working. Is the Fibre Cable Broken?
A loss of connectivity can be caused by physical cable damage, a connector or termination problem, optical equipment, network equipment or another issue elsewhere in the connection.
That's why identifying the actual fault is more useful than simply replacing the whole cable.

After: Wire Wizards -fibre connectivity restored following the repair work
FIBRE REPAIRS
Can a Cut or Damaged Fibre Optic Cable Be Repaired?
In many cases it can.
Whether a fibre cable can be repaired depends on where it has been damaged, how much accessible cable remains and whether a reliable repair can be made.
Fusion splicing may allow damaged fibres to be rejoined.
Sometimes repairing the existing cable is sensible. In other situations, replacing a damaged section or installing a new cable provides the better long-term solution.
