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

    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… 🤷🏼‍♂️

    cut the conduit back, remove the box from the wall and secure it so the conduit goes through the bottom left or right knockout on that box. Why they didn’t do that from the beginning is a mystery.

    Nope. That’s not correct. I’d never let any of our installers leave the cable that exposed.

    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!

    The fiber on the spooler represents the maximum bend radius for the glass. My concern is that the bend radius of the fiber exiting the conduit exceeds this, and if the conduit were shortened flush to the wall, the bend radius would snap the glass fiber. The conduit should have risen vertically into the box as it appears in the sub-panel to the right. this would’ve required a street elbow connector to the conduit as an accident the house much lower to the foundation.

    The guys at Spectrum think I’m just some dumb hick. They said that to me, at a dinner! Call spectrum and say, “I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT IT! I’M NOT WORRIED ABOUT ANY OF THIS! THERE’S WORSE SHIT ON THE LOCAL NEWS!”

    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

    That’s a horrible installation. Send them the picture and ask them to remedy ASAP.

    Your Lead-in cable and internal patch lead cable need to be in conduit, I’m sure it’s in the cabling standards. That’s non compliant work right there. Is that box even screwed to the outer wall?

    They’re paid to get It working, not make it pretty. Most of those guys don’t make any real money after expenses. The more they do, they more they earn.

    Quick question, do you think water can traverse upwards through a tube? The answer will tell us everything. Sure, it should have silicone, otherwise there’s nothing major to complain about and you are now a Karen, congrats.
