Fibre splicing joins optical fibre with a fusion splicer and verifies the result with an OTDR or power meter.

We assess the fault or proposed link, fibre type, route, conduit, termination points and testing requirements before setting the scope. The quote covers the agreed hauling, fusion splicing, enclosures, terminations and documented loss testing. For repairs, building-to-building links, OTDR testing and fibre installation details, see the full detail on optical fibre splicing.
At about 950 people per square kilometre, Belgrave has properties where the run to an outbuilding is well beyond what Cat6 will carry. Sitting near 200 metres in Yarra Ranges, Belgrave properties have long driveways, which is exactly the distance fibre handles and copper does not.
Belgrave is 36 kilometres from town. Newer estates have conduit in the ground already, which makes a link much cheaper. Being part of Yarra Ranges, Belgrave follows the standard position on fibre work: registered cabler, compliant work, documented.
Belgrave Heights, Belgrave South and Belgrave are close enough together that we treat them as one run rather than three separate jobs. Belgrave covers about 4.1 square kilometres of Yarra Ranges. The 2021 census put the population at 3894, and the postcode is 3160.
Some background on the place: === Puffing Billy Railway === Belgrave's most notable attraction is the heritage narrow gauge, steam-operated Puffing Billy Railway, which was reopened in 1962—after four years of restoration by volunteers—and travels through 24 kilometres (15 mi) of cool temperate rainforest, semi-urban development and rural farmland to Gembrook. Development era tells us whether there is existing conduit in the ground, which is the difference between a short job and a long one. The area we cover around Belgrave runs through Belgrave Heights, Belgrave South, Kallista and Selby, and a booking in any of them is treated the same way.
From our Boronia workshop Belgrave is about 8.3 kilometres south-east, which is a short enough run that we can usually fit a look-in around another job rather than making it a separate trip. With Belgrave railway station in Belgrave, the streets nearest the line generally carry the oldest stock in the suburb.
It is also worth knowing that Though originally the area was known as "Monbulk" for the reservoir that lay near by, the town wasn't known as Belgrave until December 1904 when the railway station was renamed, and another suggested name for the town at that stage was Glassford.

Excellent service! The team arrived on time and completed the installation efficiently and up to scratch. Everything was done neatly, with great attention to detail. Ryan and Jack are top blokes and easy to deal with. Highly recommended!

No. The run from Boronia to Belgrave is about 8.3 kilometres south-east, which is well inside our regular patch, so there is nothing added for travel.
The neighbouring suburbs we work are Belgrave Heights, Belgrave South, Kallista and Selby. A Belgrave booking often slots into a run we already have through them.
Belgrave falls under Yarra Ranges, postcode 3160. No permit is needed for standard work of this kind.
Almost always repaired. We locate the break, splice it and test the link, replacing an entire run is a last resort when the conduit itself has failed.
Tell us about the damaged fibre or proposed link. We’ll assess the route, terminations and testing requirements, then provide a clear fibre scope. Book an assessment or call our Boronia crew to discuss the work.
