I recently had fiber “installed” on my property. It’s been over a month and they haven’t buried it yet. As a result it has been hit by the landscapers once, after that they put in a “temporary” splice. The splice itself has come undone twice now. I’m sure the answer is “no, wait for a technician” but I was curious if there was any chance I could slide the loose white wire back in and regain service. Thanks in advance.

I have started using snap-on cable-number markers to identify individual fusion splice protection sleeves.

I was initially worried they might put too much pressure on the sleeve or damage the fiber, but they snap on relatively gently - about the same as the splice holders in the tray.

Once the splice protection sleeve has been shrunk and cooled, it feels quite rigid because of the internal strength member and adhesive.

Does anyone see a long-term problem with using these markers on the sleeves?

Thanks
