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
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.
You can always get one of these patch cables SC/APC in the length of your choice to replace that blue UPC cable.
It should be sc/apc to sc/upc. The ONU is upc
So the correct length of this patch cable
.
The only silver lining here is that they left you enough Slack to pretty much put your network rack anywhere on the property 🤣
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

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
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
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
Nope. That’s not correct. I’d never let any of our installers leave the cable that exposed.
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… 🤷🏼♂️
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!
That’s a horrible installation. Send them the picture and ask them to remedy ASAP.
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
