Fiber splicing is when two fiber optic cables are joined together so data can travel smoothly from one end to the other. This is important in internet and phone networks because it helps keep the signal strong, even over long distances. Fiber splicing is usually done when a cable isn’t long enough or if it gets cut by accident.

Drop to Home Installation is when workers run a fiber cable from a pole outside to a house. They also put a small box (called a Network Interface Device) on the side of the house to connect the cable. The cable is usually placed in the same area as the electrical wires on the property.

Directional Drilling, (also called horizontal directional drilling or HDD) is a way to install cables or pipes underground without digging up a big trench. It’s helpful for getting cables under roads, driveways, or other areas without causing a lot of damage to the ground.

Trenching is when a narrow, deep hole is dug in the ground to put in things like water pipes, sewer lines, electrical cables, or internet cables. This can be done by hand or with machines, and it’s used a lot in construction and utility work.

Aerial Placing means hanging cables or equipment above the ground, usually between utility poles or towers. It’s a common way to run phone and internet lines, especially when digging in the ground is too hard or expensive.
