What does a cable fiber technician do?

A Cable Fiber Technician is responsible for installing, maintaining, and repairing fiber optic cables used for telecommunications, internet, and cable television services. Their work involves running cables, connecting equipment, troubleshooting network issues, and ensuring that connections are working efficiently.

This role requires technical knowledge of fiber optic systems, attention to detail, and strong problem-solving skills.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a cable fiber technician?

To thrive as a Cable Fiber Technician, you need a solid understanding of fiber optic theory, cable installation, troubleshooting, and related safety protocols, typically supported by a high school diploma or technical certification. Familiarity with fiber optic testing equipment, splicing tools, OTDRs (Optical Time Domain Reflectometers), and industry certifications like FOA or ETA is commonly expected. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help you work efficiently in the field and with customers.

Company Description

TRS Cable is a super-sub contractor with 70+ contractors in central Florida and we're still growing.

While we may have started as recruiters, we picked up contracts for several cable providers and began bringing 1099s into our organizations, as opposed to finding contractors and moving them into other organizations. All we've done since that point is continue to expand.

Under our corporate umbrella, we've also begun underground construction, utilizing directional drills to lay conduit for coaxial, electric and fiber.

We're going to keep growing in these industries and would like you to grow with us!
