Professional OTDR testing Brisbane businesses use to certify new fibre, prove existing links, and locate faults to the metre. We test every core, certify against the loss budget, and provide independent certification of fibre installed by others. Part of our fibre optic cabling service.

Need OTDR testing Brisbane for a new install, a handover, or a fault you can't find? An OTDR (Optical Time Domain Reflectometer) sends light pulses down the fibre and measures the reflections to map the entire link — the loss of every splice, connector and bend, and the exact distance to any break. It is how professional fibre is certified, and how faults are located without guesswork.
We test and certify every core we install, and we provide independent certification of fibre installed by electricians, other cablers or building contractors — common for new-building handovers and compliance audits where the client wants a second, impartial set of test results.
Two test methods cover most work. OTDR gives the full trace — event-by-event loss and fault distance. Light source & power meter (LSPM) gives the true end-to-end insertion loss the equipment will actually see. We use both where the job warrants it, and verify the results against the link's loss budget.
As an ACMA Open Cabler (#42489) with the right test gear, you get certified, auditable results — not a verbal “it works.” The same testing discipline applies to our copper cable certification.
What We Do
Every installation follows Australian Standard AS/CA S009, is OTDR tested, and includes full documentation your IT team can use.
How We Work
A consistent, repeatable process that delivers reliable fibre links — from site survey through to OTDR certification and handover documentation.
We survey the site, confirm distances and pathways, and design the link around your network — single-mode or multi-mode, core count, containment route, and termination points at each end. You receive a detailed scope and fixed-price quote before any work begins.
We install the fibre through risers, cable trays, conduit, or underground pathways, maintaining minimum bend radius and tensile limits throughout. Outdoor and inter-building runs use appropriately rated loose-tube or armoured cable.
Each core is fusion spliced to factory-terminated pigtails and dressed into a FOBOT or fibre tray in your comms cabinet, presented as clean, patchable LC or SC connectors. Every splice is protected, organised, and labelled to the splice plan.
Every core is tested — OTDR traces and/or light source and power meter measurements — and verified against the link loss budget. You receive the full digital results, not just a verbal “it works.”
Both ends of every core are labelled to a consistent convention, and you receive as-built documentation — cable route, splice plan, termination schedule, and test results — so any technician can work on the link with confidence.
Our Clients
We deliver fibre optic cabling to end-user businesses, IT companies, and construction teams across South East Queensland.
If you need a fibre optic installer who understands your network — not just the physical cable — you are in the right place. From a single fibre link between comms rooms to a full campus backbone, our team handles everything from the initial survey to the final OTDR report.
We partner with IT companies and managed service providers as their go-to fibre contractors across Brisbane. Your clients see your brand; we handle the installation, splicing, OTDR testing, and documentation. We currently white-label for several Brisbane MSPs who need a trusted fibre partner they can send to client sites with confidence.
Running a commercial office fitout or new build? Many electricians subcontract their fibre splicing and OTDR testing to us. We coordinate with your project timeline, handle the specialist fibre work, and hand back certified results that close out your scope.

The IT Background Makes the Difference
There are plenty of cabling companies in Brisbane — far fewer who do fibre properly. Here is why businesses, IT companies, and electricians keep coming back to us for their fibre optic cabling Brisbane projects.
We come from IT — not electrical. We understand what sits at each end of a fibre link: switching architecture, transceivers, link budgets, and bandwidth requirements. Our fibre installations are designed around your network operations from the start, not bolted on afterwards.
Licensed under ACMA cabling provider rules to install, maintain, and modify all types of customer cabling — including optical fibre. Your fibre optic cabling Brisbane installation is compliant from the start.
No guesswork. Every core is tested by OTDR and/or light source and power meter and verified against the link loss budget. You receive digital test results — not just a verbal “it works.”
Splice plans, termination schedules, cable routes, OTDR results, and core labelling that follow a consistent naming convention. When a link drops at 2am, your IT team can identify exactly what was installed, where it runs, and what it tested at — in minutes, not hours.
Looking for fibre optic testing Brisbane businesses actually trust? That's exactly what we deliver — surveyed, quoted fixed-price, and documented at handover. Every fibre optic testing project we take on follows the same discipline: clear scope, tidy workmanship, and documentation your team can use. From single-site jobs to multi-site rollouts, our fibre optic testing work covers Brisbane, Logan, Ipswich, the Gold Coast and the wider south east.
An OTDR maps the entire fibre link — the loss of every splice and connector, plus the exact distance to any fault. You need it to certify a new install performs to spec, and to locate faults without digging up the whole run. The trace is your auditable proof the link is good.
Yes — independent certification is a service we provide regularly, especially for new-building handovers and compliance audits. We test the cores, certify against the loss budget, and give you an impartial set of results.
OTDR gives a full trace showing every event and fault distance along the fibre. A light source and power meter gives the true end-to-end insertion loss the equipment will see. We use both where the job warrants it.
Yes — an OTDR pinpoints breaks and high-loss events to the metre, which is how we locate faults before repair. See fibre optic repairs; emergency fault location starts from $1,200 + GST.
Always. You receive the OTDR traces and/or LSPM results for every core as part of your handover documentation — auditable records for compliance and warranty.
It depends on core count and access. Testing is included in every install we do; standalone testing and independent certification is quoted on scope. Call Chris on 0412 853 618.
