Fiber optic splicing in Dammam and the Eastern Province

Fiber carries your backbone, your building-to-building links and the uplinks for your cameras and access points. A bad splice or a dirty connector can cut speed or cause links that drop for no clear reason. Waves provides fiber optic splicing in Dammam, Khobar, Dhahran and Jubail, with installation, termination and testing done by the same team.

We work on new installations and on repairs of damaged cables. Every job ends with test results, so you know the loss on each core and have a baseline for future faults.

Fiber also connects the systems around your network: CCTV on long perimeters, access control at remote gates, and links to site cabins and towers. We plan these runs with the cabling and network teams, so the cores, connectors and switch ports match from the start.

  • Fusion splicing, pigtails and splice enclosures
  • MPO/MTP trunks for high-density racks
  • OTDR and optical loss testing with reports

Why fiber demand is growing in the Eastern Province

The region is building. Khazna is planning an AI-ready data centre of up to 200 MW in Dammam, and center3 (stc) has announced a hyperscale data centre there. The Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu reports more than SR1.5 trillion in investments across its cities, with a stated focus on smart cities.

New plants, warehouses, compounds and data rooms all need fiber backbones. Existing sites need repairs, extensions and upgrades as they add buildings and cameras. Both need a team that splices cleanly and proves it with test results.

How Waves handles a fiber job

Survey

We check routes, ducts, distances and the type of fiber already on site.

Design

We choose single-mode or multi-mode, core count, connectors and enclosures for the distance and speed you need.

Install and splice

We pull or blow the cable, fusion splice each core and terminate in patch panels or enclosures.

Test

We test each core with an OTDR and a light source and power meter, and record the results.

Document

You receive test reports, core maps and as-built route drawings.

Fiber services we provide

Single-mode fiber

For long runs between buildings, across campuses and to remote gates, towers and cabins.

Multi-mode fiber

For short, high-speed runs inside buildings and between racks in server rooms.

MPO/MTP trunks

Pre-terminated, high-density links for data rooms that need fast install and clean racks.

Fusion splicing

Low-loss splicing for new cables, extensions and repairs, with protected splice trays.

OTDR testing

Trace of each core showing length, splice loss and faults, kept as your baseline.

Fault finding and repair

We locate cuts or high-loss points and repair them, then retest the link.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between single-mode and multi-mode fiber?

Single-mode fiber carries light over long distances, from hundreds of metres to many kilometres, and suits links between buildings and sites. Multi-mode is cheaper to connect and suits shorter runs inside a building or data room. We choose based on distance, speed and your existing equipment.

What is OTDR testing and why does it matter?

An OTDR sends light down the fiber and shows the length of the cable, the loss at each splice and connector, and the location of any fault. It proves the job was done properly. It also gives you a baseline that makes future repairs much faster.

Can you repair a cut fiber cable?

Yes. We locate the fault with an OTDR, splice in a repair section or new enclosure, and retest the link. We share the test result once the link is restored.

When should we use MPO/MTP cabling?

MPO/MTP trunks suit server rooms and data rooms with many fiber links, or where you plan to move to higher speeds. They install quickly and keep racks tidy. For a few links between floors, standard spliced fiber is usually enough.

Do you provide test reports?

Yes. Every fiber job ends with OTDR and loss test results for each core, plus a core map. You can keep these for warranty, audits and later troubleshooting.

How long does a fiber splicing job take?

A small repair or a short link between two buildings is often done in a day, including testing. Larger backbones with many cores and enclosures take longer and are planned with you in advance. We confirm the timeline after the site survey.

Which areas do you serve?

We are based in Al Khobar and work in Dammam, Dhahran, Jubail, Riyadh and the rest of KSA, including plants and remote project sites.
