Fiber optic cabling
When 100 meters isn't far enough — or fast enough.
IDN designs and installs fiber optic backbone systems for multi-floor buildings, campus environments, and high-demand applications across SE Wisconsin.
What you get
Fiber backbone that won't be your bottleneck — and a loss report to prove it.
IDN designs, terminates, and light-tests fiber backbone for multi-floor and campus networks across SE Wisconsin — the right glass for every run, certified strand by strand.
Single-mode + OM4
The right fiber for each run — in-building backbone or long campus haul.
Campus-ready
Building-to-building backbone that carries 10-gig and beyond.
OTDR-certified
Every strand tested to its loss budget and printed at close.
Fiber done right — designed, fused, and light-tested.
- 1 · Design
Single-mode vs. OM4, route, splice points, and loss budget up front.
- 2 · Terminate
LC/SC/MPO connectors, polished end faces — no sloppy field splices.
- 3 · Test
Every strand on an OTDR with optical-loss certification.
- 4 · Document
Optical-loss report + labeled strand map at project close.
How IDN fixes it
What IDN delivers
Fiber system design
Single-mode vs. multimode, route planning, splice points, and loss-budget calculation before install.
Multimode (OM3/OM4)
Inter-floor backbone, equipment room to IDF, high-density data-center connections.
Single-mode
Building-to-building campus runs, long-distance backbone, carrier-grade connections.
Precision termination
LC, SC, and MPO connectors — polished end faces, no sloppy field splices on short runs.
OTDR & optical loss testing
Every strand tested, with a printed optical-loss certification report at project close.
Unified with copper
Fiber backbone + Cat 6 horizontal designed as one system; conduit pathways spec'd up front.
Every strand tested to its loss budget.
Every run is tested and the printed report is yours at project close — proof your cable plant performs, not just a promise.
Choosing the medium
When you need fiber — and when copper is enough.
Fiber isn't always the answer. Here's the honest call for each situation — and IDN designs to it before quoting.
- Single-floor office or suite
- Runs under 100 m (≈300 ft)
- Gigabit to the desk, phone, and AP
- No heavy electrical interference
- Multi-floor backbone, floor-to-floor
- Building-to-building on a campus
- High-EMI environments (manufacturing)
- Runs over 100 m — copper can't reach
- 10-gigabit backbone and beyond
In the field
What this looks like on a real job.
Two buildings on one campus shared a flaky point-to-point wireless bridge that dropped under load — and the existing multimode runs were maxed out.
IDN designed and fused single-mode campus backbone between the buildings, OTDR-certified every strand, and tied it into the existing copper.
The wireless bridge is gone, and the optical-loss report documented every strand for their network team.
Why IDN
Not a cable crew you hire once. The vendor that runs it after.
IDN certifies your cable plant — then manages the IT, VoIP, cameras, and access control that ride on it. One company accountable for the foundation and everything on top of it.
The track record speaks for itself.

“The service was done in a professional and timely manner. Pedro did an outstanding job communicating the work and time frame, and was very cost-effective. Recommend their services to any small or large business. Great people!”
Common questions
Common questions
Multimode (OM4) for in-building backbone and data-center runs; single-mode for building-to-building and long campus runs. We calculate the loss budget and choose the right fiber during design.
Yes. Every strand is tested on an OTDR, and you receive a printed optical-loss certification report at project close.
Yes. We run single-mode campus backbone between buildings, terminate and test it, and integrate it with your copper horizontal cabling.
Yes. IDN designs fiber backbone and Cat 6 horizontal cabling as one system, so pathways and hand-offs are planned up front — not bolted on later.
Yes. IDN is Racine-based and installs fiber across SE Wisconsin, with nationwide reach for multi-site clients.
