Link between buildings over public land

The operator’s later cross-connects eat your budget after handover, which is why the acceptance measurement matters.

The problem

What makes it hard

Two buildings never share an earth potential. And the cable passes ground that somebody else owns and can dig in.

Two things are usually missed. The fiber is leased, which means it is measured by somebody else, with somebody else’s reference and somebody else’s conditions — ask for an OTDR record and a two-way attenuation measurement at handover, not a datasheet. And the ODF is usually not yours: every time the operator re-patches in their own frame, connector pairs are added to your budget without you being told. Size for that.
