Fiber Optic Site Inspection at Sunburst, SM City Cebu.
Introduction.
Reliable internet connectivity has become essential for business operations, especially in high-traffic commercial environments like malls. On March 25, 2026, at 11:30 AM, the InstallersPH IT Solutions team conducted a fiber optic cabling site inspection at Sunburst, located in SM City Cebu. The objective of the visit was to assess the client’s current internet setup and determine the requirements for upgrading to a more stable and efficient connection through fiber optic technology.
Assessment of Current Internet Setup.
During the inspection, the team identified that Sunburst is currently using a SIM-based prepaid internet connection. While this setup may be convenient for temporary or low-demand use, it presents significant limitations for business operations. The reliance on prepaid load results in frequent interruptions whenever the load runs out, affecting productivity and customer service. This type of connection is also less reliable in terms of speed and consistency, particularly in environments with high data demands.
Recognizing these challenges, the client expressed plans to transition to a more stable solution by subscribing to a PLDT connection. This upgrade will involve integrating fiber optic cabling from the existing terminal box to the store’s data cabinet, ensuring a more consistent and high-speed internet experience.
Technical Considerations and Challenges.
The inspection also revealed important technical considerations that need to be addressed before installation. One key finding was that the existing network setup inside the data cabinet does not support a direct fiber connection. To resolve this, the team recommended the use of a modem that will serve as the intermediary device, allowing proper distribution of the internet connection to the existing network infrastructure.
Additionally, the routing of fiber optic cables presents a potential challenge due to the building’s ceiling structure and the presence of existing pipes. These obstacles may require careful planning and strategic cable management to ensure a clean and efficient installation. Despite these challenges, the team confirmed that the installation remains feasible with the right approach and materials.
Recommended Solution and Next Steps.
Based on the assessment, InstallersPH IT Solutions recommended the use of approximately 50 meters of 2-core fiber optic (2FO) cable. This setup includes one line dedicated to primary internet use and another as a backup, providing redundancy and ensuring continuous connectivity in case of issues with the main line. This approach enhances reliability and minimizes potential downtime for the business.
The team also emphasized the importance of proper cable routing and integration with the modem to maximize the performance of the fiber connection. Detailed recommendations were prepared for implementation, ensuring that all technical requirements and site conditions are addressed effectively.
