Whatalec Education Campus Fibre Splicing and Certification

Client Overview 

Haymans Airport, an electrical supplier, engaged Total Fibre & Data to complete specialist fibre optic splicing works at a Brisbane-based college. Haymans supported one of its key contractor clients, Whatalec, on the project.

The brief was to provide qualified fibre specialists to terminate, test, and commission newly installed fibre optic cabling across the site. Haymans supplied all materials and equipment. Meanwhile, Whatalec ran the fibre between existing communications racks throughout the campus.

The team completed the project during an educational break to ensure zero disruption to students and staff. Throughout, they coordinated closely with other contractors upgrading switching and Wi-Fi infrastructure.

Our Fibre Optic Splicing Scope of Work

Total Fibre & Data was responsible for the specialist fibre component of the project, supplying the labour, technical expertise, and calibrated equipment required to complete the works to a certified standard.

Our scope included:

• Installing newly run fibre into existing communications racks
• Terminating all fibre optic cables
• Removing and decommissioning old fibre equipment
• Testing and commissioning all fibre links
• Providing full Molex certification documentation
• Coordinating works alongside switching and Wi-Fi upgrades

All fibre termination and testing was completed using calibrated fusion splicing and testing equipment to ensure performance met specification and warranty requirements.

Specialist Fibre Optic Splicing, Termination, and Testing

While the fibre cabling had already been installed by Whatalec, specialist termination and testing were required to ensure the network performed reliably once commissioned.

Our team worked through each communications rack across the campus, carefully removing outdated fibre equipment and replacing it with new terminations. All fibre links were then tested and certified to confirm:

• Correct installation
• Acceptable insertion loss
• Compliance with Molex certification standards

This ensured the upgraded network infrastructure was ready to support new switching hardware and improved Wi-Fi performance across the college.

Working Within a Live Education Environment

A key requirement of the project was timing. All works were scheduled and completed during the educational break, allowing upgrades to occur without any disruption to daily operations.

In addition, we worked closely with the contractor responsible for the new switching and Wi-Fi upgrades. This coordination ensured:

• Fibre links were live and tested before network equipment was brought online
• Services came up as expected
• Any issues were identified and resolved immediately

This collaborative approach reduced risk and ensured a smooth transition once the site returned to normal operation.

The Outcome

The project was completed on time and without interruption to the college. The fibre network was fully terminated, tested, commissioned, and certified, providing a reliable backbone for the upgraded switching and wireless infrastructure.

From a commercial perspective, the outcome delivered value across all parties:

• The end client received a professionally delivered, certified fibre network with minimal disruption and long-term performance assurance.
• Whatalec benefited from specialist fibre services without needing additional supplier accounts or internal fibre capability.
• Haymans was able to offer a complete solution to their client, supplying both materials and labour through a single channel.
