Total Security fusion splices, terminates, and installs fiber optic cable across Eastern Oregon, from Pendleton and Hermiston out to Boardman, Irrigon, Umatilla, Stanfield, and La Grande. We handle underground and aerial runs for property owners, and we work as a subcontract fiber crew for general contractors, electricians, and internet providers.
Splicing and Termination Done Right the First Time
A fiber run is only as good as its splices and connectors. A sloppy termination or a bad splice can mean a link that drops in the heat, flickers in the cold, or never comes up at all. We use fusion splicing, which welds the glass fibers together for a clean, low-loss joint, and we terminate each end neatly in panels and enclosures that are labeled so the next person who opens them knows what they’re looking at.
Splicing work we take on includes:
- Splicing and terminating new runs into patch panels and enclosures
- Repairing fiber cut by trenching, equipment, or rodents
- Extending existing fiber to a new building, shop, or cabinet
- Re-terminating old or damaged connectors in network closets
Underground and Aerial Runs Across the Region
Eastern Oregon properties tend to be spread out. Farm shops sit a long way from the house, warehouses and processing plants have buildings scattered across a lot, and gates and yards often need cameras far beyond the reach of standard network cable. Fiber covers those distances without the interference and lightning concerns that come with long copper runs between buildings.
- Underground – Buried fiber between buildings, out to shops, pump stations, and gates, kept out of the way of weather and equipment traffic.
- Aerial – Pole-to-pole runs where trenching isn’t practical, such as across a field, a road, or a yard full of buried utilities.
We look at the distance, terrain, existing poles, and what’s already in the ground before recommending a route. For an overview of the projects fiber is good for, see our main fiber optic installation page.
Subcontract Fiber Work for Contractors and ISPs
General contractors, electricians, and internet providers working in Umatilla, Morrow, and Union counties can bring us in for the fiber portion of a job. We can pull, splice, and terminate on new construction, handle building entrances and drops, or take on repair and extension work. We’re a local crew, so we’re not making a long trip to get to your site, and we leave clean, labeled work.
If you have an ongoing need, such as an ISP building out service or a contractor with several projects coming up, contact us to talk through a regular subcontract arrangement.
What Runs Over the Fiber
For property owners, the fiber is usually the first step. Because we also install structured cabling, UniFi networking, and security cameras, we can set up the switches, Wi-Fi, and cameras on each end and keep them running with a managed IT plan. That’s common on farms, where a shop or outbuilding gets the same internet and cameras as the office. See our IT services for farms and ag operations and agricultural security pages.
Service Coverage from Pendleton
Our office is at 3501 Westgate in Pendleton. From there we cover Hermiston, Stanfield, Umatilla, Irrigon, Boardman, and La Grande, along with the farm ground in between. Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8 to 5.
Fiber Splicing FAQ
What is fusion splicing?
Fusion splicing joins two fibers by aligning them precisely and welding the glass together. It makes a permanent, low-loss connection and is the standard way to join, repair, or extend fiber.
Can you repair fiber that was cut?
Yes. We expose the damaged section, splice in a repair, and protect it in an enclosure so the link is back in service.
Do you work as a subcontractor?
Yes. We take on fiber installation, splicing, and termination for general contractors, electricians, and internet providers, for single jobs or on an ongoing basis.
Do you do OTDR testing?
No, we don’t offer OTDR testing. If your project requires it, let us know up front so we can plan the job around it.
Should my run go underground or aerial?
It depends on the distance, terrain, existing poles, and what’s already buried. We’ll look at the site and recommend the most practical route.
How much does fiber work cost?
It depends on the length of the run, the route, and the number of splices and terminations. After we look at the job, we’ll give you a written quote. Contact us for a quote.
