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
what about the APC to UPC .. thats always good
They also left you like 6 miles worth of slack for no reason.
This is what work order / project pay looks like. IE; installer gets paid X amount of dollars when he closes out a work order versus hourly pay until he closes out the work order. In my opinion at least… 🤷🏼♂️
That is messed up. The fiber should be coming through the box in the bottom left or right, not through the bottom through some tube.
Guessing you never worked in the field as an ISP tech.
You where saying https://www.reddit.com/r/HomeNetworking/comments/17v8s44/spectrum_fiber_install_updated_picture/
I know shit when it see it. Guessing you make a lot of shit.
Your Lead-in cable and internal patch lead cable need to be in conduit, I’m sure it’s in the cabling standards. That’s non compliant work right there. Is that box even screwed to the outer wall?
Source 🤣. Armchair installer
Been working in the Telco/I.T industry for 20 years.
Telco or it. Because i can assure you they’re not the same. Thus kinda proving my point
You obviously have no idea.
wow, that looks DIY.
Better than 90% of cable installs. Most importantly do you have connection?
If it bothers you put some split loom on it
It will work, until it doesn't.... It isn't the right way and is probably gonna be damaged soon....
They're paid to get It working, not make it pretty. Most of those guys don't make any real money after expenses. The more they do, they more they earn.
Lol no.
Quick question, do you think water can traverse upwards through a tube? The answer will tell us everything. Sure, it should have silicone, otherwise there's nothing major to complain about and you are now a Karen, congrats.
This is sloppy and not inline with manufacturer instructions. I'm sure it will work for a long while but is just a complete eye sore and not how its suppose to be done. Frustrating!
Not much correct with that install. Wrong connectors mated, no protection for the incoming fiber cable or for the patch cable going into the house. A small bump on that patch and it'll get smashed against that "tube" and break.
They are coming next week to bury the line and the incoming cable will be covered then… from what I’m told
Ah yes, super tech-savvy criminals nowadays just bumping into peoples' demarcs to disable their wifi cameras
You can always get one of these patch cables SC/APC in the length of your choice to replace that blue UPC cable.
The only silver lining here is that they left you enough Slack to pretty much put your network rack anywhere on the property 🤣
I had Spectrum fiber and they did some crap like this. I was glad when AT&T came and ripped it out for their fiber. What are they offering you? 1000 down and 500 up? Or are they symmetrical now?
Could have left more fiber in the box
Do you mind telling me area, service and cost? We have charter but it’s coax. I wasn’t aware they were rolling out fiber other than the enterprise, which we use at work and has been pretty good.
while it will work neatness counts. I would have them come back out an fix it.
They just did, looks much better now and by better I mean how it should’ve been done the first time haha

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.
Hard to tell from the photo but would that require a tight 90 degree bend in the conduit? My recent installer warned me about tight bends and how the connector end of the fiber cannot do them. Maybe that was the issue here?
The guys at Spectrum think I'm just some dumb hick. They said that to me, at a dinner! Call spectrum and say, "I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT! I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF THIS! THERE'S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS!"
Looks ok to me just use some automotive plastic wire cover and cover the exposed wire with a little dum dum to seal the ends. That is what I did a few years ago
Nope. That’s not correct. I’d never let any of our installers leave the cable that exposed.
That's a horrible installation. Send them the picture and ask them to remedy ASAP.
cut the conduit back, remove the box from the wall and secure it so the conduit goes through the bottom left or right knockout on that box. Why they didn't do that from the beginning is a mystery.
Ok
