Spectrum just ran fiber to my house and they left the wire running inside exposed. It looks like the installer was a little lazy about it. I would think you would want to pop the conduit into the box and not have it exposed. Let me know what you think

The fiber on the spooler represents the maximum bend radius for the glass. My concern is that the bend radius of the fiber exiting the conduit exceeds this, and if the conduit were shortened flush to the wall, the bend radius would snap the glass fiber. The conduit should have risen vertically into the box as it appears in the sub-panel to the right. this would’ve required a street elbow connector to the conduit as an accident the house much lower to the foundation.
