What is fibre optic installation?

When Cat6 can't reach, glass can

Fibre optic installation runs glass cable between buildings or floors to carry data at speeds copper can't touch — up to 100 Gbps over kilometres with no signal loss. Cat6 tops out at 90m; single-mode fibre reaches 40 km.

You need it for multi-building campuses, large open-plan offices, CCTV backhaul over distance, or any 10 GbE backbone application. Every install is fusion-spliced in tray, terminated with LC or SC connectors, and OTDR-certified with a written report your IT team or auditor can file.

  • Published pricing — per-metre, per-splice and per-test rates on this page.
  • Fusion splicing — permanent, typically 0.05 dB loss per splice.
  • Bi-directional OTDR — insertion loss documented per splice and termination.
  • Lifetime cable warranty — plus same-day call-out for fault repair.

Know your options

Single-mode, multi-mode — or no cable at all?

The three ways to link buildings and floors at 10 GbE+. We'll recommend the right one at your free inspection — and we install all three.

Most installs

Single-mode (OS2)

Up to 100 Gbps · 40 km reach

The future-proof choice for runs over 300m, 10 GbE backbones and inter-building links. One glass path, laser-driven, effectively unlimited headroom — what most Auckland commercial installs choose.

Reach
Up to 40 km
Speed
10–100 Gbps
Transceivers
$$ — dearer
Best for: inter-building links, risers, campus backbones — anything long or future-proof.

Multi-mode (OM4)

10 Gbps · up to 300 m

Cheaper transceivers make multi-mode the sharp choice for short hops — server room to comms room, floor to floor in a smaller building — where the run stays under 300m.

Reach
Up to 300 m
Speed
10 Gbps
Transceivers
$ — cheapest
Best for: short in-building backbones on a tighter hardware budget.

Wireless microwave link

Up to 10 Gbps · no trenching

When the buildings are separated by a road, a carpark you can't dig up, or someone else's land — a point-to-point radio link delivers fibre-class speed with no civil works.

Reach
Line of sight
Speed
Up to 10 Gbps

Best for: links where trenching is impossible or uneconomic. See microwave links →

02

Quote & sign-off

Itemised within 24 hours — single-mode vs multi-mode, splice count, termination type.

03

Pull & splice

Cable pulled through conduit or duct, fusion splices done in tray, LC or SC terminations both ends.

What we install

Fibre for every job glass does better

Inter-building links, risers, long-haul CCTV and fault repair — pulled, spliced, certified and documented by one crew.

Building to building

Inter-building & campus links

Building A to Building B across the carpark — aerial or underground duct, fusion-spliced both ends. The staple job for industrial estates, school campuses and any site where two buildings need to behave like one network.

  • Aerial or underground duct
  • Fusion-spliced both ends
  • Outdoor-rated cable
  • 10 GbE+ between buildings

Floor to floor

Risers & multi-tenant buildings

10 GbE from the IT room to every floor, or shared riser fibre with per-tenant splices and break-out trays. We deliver labelled patch panels per tenant — and we'll match your existing patch frame spec, connector colour and labelling.

  • Floor-to-floor 10 GbE backbone
  • Per-tenant splices + break-outs
  • Labelled patch panels per tenant
  • Works with existing patch frames

Beyond 90 metres

CCTV backhaul over distance

The carpark cameras need to reach the NVR in the main building 400m away — Cat6 can't go that far, fibre can. We run the glass, put a media converter or PoE switch at the far end, and the cameras behave like they're next door.

  • Any distance Cat6 can't do
  • Media converter / PoE at far end
  • Outdoor + underground rated
  • Perimeter + gate cameras too

  • Same-day call-out
  • OTDR locates break to the metre

FAQs

Fibre optic questions, answered

Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546 — real people, Mon–Sun.

How much does fibre optic installation cost in Auckland?
From $1,480 +GST for a standard single-mode run up to 50m, terminated both ends with LC connectors. Add $120 per additional 10m, $180 per fusion splice and $220 for OTDR test + certification. Every quote is itemised in writing before work starts.
Single-mode or multi-mode — which should I install?
Single-mode (SM) for runs over 300m or 10 GbE backbones. Multi-mode (MM, OM4) for short runs under 300m where you want cheaper transceivers. Most Auckland commercial installs choose single-mode for future-proofing.
What's the difference between fusion and mechanical splicing?
Fusion splices melt the glass together — permanent, low loss (typically 0.05 dB). Mechanical splices use alignment and index gel — reusable, but higher loss (around 0.3 dB). We use fusion for all permanent installs.
Do you provide a test report?
Yes. Every certified install includes a bi-directional OTDR scan plus a written insertion-loss test per splice and per termination — delivered as a PDF you can hand to your IT team or auditor.
How long does a typical install take?
A 50m single-mode link with 2 splices and 2 terminations takes one working day. Multi-floor riser installs take 2–3 days depending on duct access.
Can you work with existing patch frames?
Yes. Bring your patch frame specs or photograph the current rack, and we'll spec termination type, connector colour and labelling to match what's already there.
Can you repair a broken fibre?
Yes — same-day call-out across Auckland. We OTDR the run to locate the break, fusion-splice the repair and re-certify the link. Diagnostics from $280 — see fibre fault repair.
Do you cover all of Auckland?
Yes — North Shore through Pukekohe. A travel surcharge applies for runs beyond 30 km from central Auckland; we'll confirm it upfront on the quote.

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our Auckland cabling services, pricing and process. Can't find what you're after? Call us on 0800 222 546.

How much does network cabling cost?

Pricing depends on the number of data points, cable type (Cat6 / Cat6a / fibre) and building complexity. We provide free site surveys and upfront fixed-price quotes — no hidden costs. Most extra Cat6 outlets start from $120 +GST. Call 0800 222 546 to book yours.

Do you charge for site surveys and quotes?

No — site surveys and quotes are free. Book online or call 0800 222 546 and one of our team will come to you, assess the job, and give you a clear fixed price before any work begins.

How long does a typical install take?

A standard residential or small-office install is usually completed in a single day — often same-day. Larger commercial or enterprise projects are planned with a clear timeline given before work begins, so you always know what to expect.

Are your technicians certified and licensed?

Yes. All installs are completed to TIA/EIA and AS/NZS 3080 standards, and any associated electrical work is carried out by licensed electricians. We are fully insured with $5M public liability cover.

What areas of Auckland do you service?

We service all of Auckland — Central, North Shore, West, East and South Auckland — plus the North including Orewa, Silverdale, Warkworth, Snells Beach and Mangawhai.

Do you provide a warranty on your work?

Yes. Every cabling install is tested, documented and backed by our 3-year workmanship warranty. If anything isn't right after your install, we'll come back and fix it.

Cat6 vs Cat6a — which cable should I choose?

For most homes and small offices, Cat6 is more than enough — it handles gigabit speeds easily and is more affordable. Cat6a suits businesses running heavy data, future-proofing for 10-gigabit networks, or longer cable runs. We'll recommend the right cable during your free site survey.

How much does CCTV installation cost in Auckland?

CCTV pricing depends on the number of cameras, indoor vs outdoor placement, recording method (NVR vs cloud) and cabling required. Most residential installs sit in the $1,500–$3,500 range, with commercial systems quoted on-site. Book a free survey on 0800 222 546.

Can you install fibre optic cabling for my business?

Yes — we install indoor and outdoor fibre including OS2 single-mode and OM3/OM4 multi-mode for backbone runs, server rooms and inter-building links across Auckland. All terminations are tested and certified to AS/NZS standards.

Do you provide after-hours or emergency callouts?

Yes. Real people answer Mon–Sun, and we offer emergency callouts for downed networks, broken cabling, camera failures and business-critical outages. Call 0800 222 546 anytime.

Can you add data points to an existing home or office?

Absolutely — adding data points to existing buildings is one of our most common jobs. We minimise wall damage, label every cable and tidy patch panels so future changes are easy. Most retrofits are completed in a single visit.
