Installation & Maintenance

Reliable installation, testing and certification solutions for modern networks

CN Rood supports network installers, contractors, operators and service providers with advanced tools and test & measurement solutions for optical fiber, power quality, network cabling and communication infrastructure. From deployment and acceptance testing to documentation and maintenance, we help teams work efficiently and deliver certified, reliable networks.

Market & trends

The rapid rollout of broadband, data center interconnects, enterprise networks and industrial connectivity places increasing demands on installation teams. Installers must deliver accurate results under time pressure, document results for compliance, and maintain uptime in both new and live networks.

Key challenges include:

  • Versatile testing across technologies
    Installers must support optical fiber (SM/MM), power measurements, network cabling, RF, and mixed environments — with solutions that work across fiber types and wavelengths.
  • Certification and traceability
    Network owners require documented loss, reflectance, dispersion and spectral performance to ensure long-term reliability and compliance with standards.
  • Working with live or operational networks
    Testing safely on live fibers and active systems without interruption demands specialized live-fiber detection and non-intrusive test methods.
  • Scaling installation productivity
    High-volume rollouts require efficient splicing, cable blowing, rugged field test tools and professional cleaning practices.
  • Connector quality and contamination control
    Reliable connections start with consistent inspection and cleaning workflows to prevent signal loss and reflections.
  • Broad network compatibility
    Installers increasingly need to qualify both optical and electrical infrastructure, including power and power-quality measurements.
