Your Local Fibre & Communications Experts

With over 30 years of combined industry experience, our ACMA-registered technicians deliver fibre optic testing and certification you can rely on — from single-mode and multi-mode OTDR testing to full OLTS power meter certification.

We use calibrated, industry-leading test equipment to accurately trace faults, verify splice quality, and confirm your network meets the required loss budgets before handover.

Whether you’re a builder, electrical contractor, or facilities manager, our team provides clear, compliant test reports and fast turnaround so your project stays on schedule.

What We Do

We test, splice and certify fibre optic networks for commercial sites across Brisbane and South East Queensland. This includes:

Need joins made as well as tested? Our splicing and testing service covers fusion splicing, OTDR testing and certification.

OTDR Testing & Fault-Finding

OLTS Light/Loss Testing

Fusion Splicing, Not Mechanical Splicing

Fibre Optic Cabling Installation

Test Report Generation

Certification & Compliance Documentation

Every job leaves you with a calibrated test report and certification ready for your compliance file.

Untested or badly spliced fibre doesn’t show up as a problem until the network’s already live — intermittent signal loss, a failed compliance handover, or a fault that takes hours to trace without the right equipment.

Why TFD

ACMA-Registered Technicians

Testing and certification carried out to the regulatory standard commercial sites are required to meet.

Calibrated OTDR & OLTS Equipment

Every test run on properly maintained, calibrated gear, not a borrowed or unverified unit.

Fusion Splicing, Done Properly

We use fusion splicing rather than mechanical splicing, for a lower-loss, more reliable join.

30+ Years of Industry Experience

Three decades testing, splicing and certifying fibre networks across the region.

QLD Electrical Contractor License No. 91409 — we’re licensed for both electrical and communications work, but our focus is fibre and communications.

Why Outsource Your Fibre Testing

Buying OTDR and OLTS equipment, then training staff to use it, is a real cost for something most businesses only need periodically. Outsourcing means:

No Equipment Purchase or Calibration Costs

No Staff Training or Certification Overhead

A Certified Technician On-Site When You Need One

Test Reports & Documentation, Handover Ready

We also work as the fibre testing partner behind other electrical, IT and data contractors’ projects. Non-competitive means exactly that: we do the technical work, but we don’t go around you to deal with your client directly — the relationship stays yours. Ask about outsourcing your fibre testing to us.

How It Works

Book

Arrange an on-site test window; no long lead times for standard jobs.

Test

OLTS (light/loss) testing on every fibre run, with an OTDR trace added when the job calls for it, longer runs, multiple splices, or deeper fault-finding.

Splice

Fusion splicing carried out on the spot where a fault or join needs fixing.

Verify

OLTS testing repeated to ISO standards, confirming light/loss budgets meet the required standard after splicing.

Report & Certify

A full test report and certification handed over, ready for your compliance file.

Who We Serve

New commercial fit-outs needing pre-handover certification, existing networks needing fault-finding or re-certification, and electrical or IT contractors outsourcing the fibre-specific piece of a job. This service is fibre-specific — for copper or full structured cabling installs, see our Commercial Data Cabling or Brisbane pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is OTDR testing?

It’s a test that sends a signal down the fibre and reads what comes back, identifying breaks, splice loss or signal degradation anywhere along the cable. OLTS (light/loss) testing is what we run and certify on every job; we add OTDR testing on top of that when a job specifically calls for it — longer runs, multiple splices, or deeper fault-finding. Ask us whether your project needs OTDR testing as part of certification.

What does a test report actually include?

Signal loss readings, splice loss at each join, and a pass/fail result against the required standard for compliance sign-off. Every test comes with a report you can hand straight to your compliance file.

How long does testing and certification take?

It depends on job size, but most single-site jobs are tested and reported within a day or two of the on-site visit. We confirm a clear timeframe as part of your quote.

Do you handle new installs and existing networks?

Yes — pre-handover certification on new builds, and fault-finding or re-certification on networks already in service. We test and certify both.

Do you work with contractors, not just direct clients?

Yes — we work as the fibre testing and certification partner behind other contractors’ projects. We do the technical work; we don’t go around you to deal with your client directly. Ask about outsourcing your fibre testing to us.
