SpliceCue is a website designed to make fiber optic work easier and faster.

It includes interactive fiber color codes, cable configurations, OPGW fiber identification, and splitter calculation tools.

The goal is to bring useful fiber optic tools together in one simple, easy -to-use platform for everyday fieldwork.

📱 iOS and Android apps are also in development and will be available in the future!

The website is still being improved, and new features are on the way.

I'm currently in the fiber field but mostly doing FTTH and have done OTEs. I want to learn OTL and splitters. From what I have seen there are not too many classes or companies training, they want you to already know it. I have some coworkers that do it but they seem to want to keep that money to themselves. I need an upper hand here to figure it out on my own. Can I teach myself if I get the equipment?

We are starting a laboratory course on fiber-optic technology. In your opinion, which elements of fiber-optic technology should university students be taught?

Hi, really excited to begin learning splicing and installing fiber optics here in Chicago. Long story short have been looking for work. I recently have been introduced and training with a contractor offering piece work. Its
$35 for a modem drop off
$40 for a coax trouble call
$50 for a fiber trouble call or coax new install
$90 for a new fiber install
Work comes from dispatcher
The contractor is a supervisor for a cable company but like you may have figured everything is subcontracted
He claims techs make 1800-2500 a week after getting in the rhythm
He said in 3 months he might train me to master fiber optic work to go to schaumberg for $130 per new install.
After 6pm its double rate. I applied to the electricians union recently but i applied for the construction, not communications, and now im Not sure if i can switch or what you recommend? I have other opportunities they all piled up on me this week.
$33 an hour maintenance mechanic but schedule is awful
$35 an hour industrial electrician but its a temp job n idk if theyll hire me permanently
Either way, i find the fiber optics appealing both in the work and the pay. Any advice for a 23 year old trying to have a great career?
