During the site visit, both the technical team and representatives from Rapid Visa worked collaboratively to assess the site layout, identify potential obstructions, and discuss routing options for the fiber run. The goal was to establish a high-performance connection between the main data cabinet—located at the heart of Rapid Visa’s existing network—and the extension office, which will soon be home to additional workstations and critical IT systems.

The inspection began with a thorough review of the main building’s data cabinet. Positioned within a secure server room, this cabinet serves as the central hub of Rapid Visa’s network, housing critical networking equipment such as switches, routers, and patch panels. From this point, our team evaluated possible entry points and conduits that could facilitate a smooth fiber run without disrupting ongoing operations.

We then proceeded to the newly constructed extension office, where the final termination point for the fiber optic cable will be located. The team inspected the office’s structural design and electrical layout to ensure that the fiber route would not interfere with power lines, HVAC systems, or other utilities. Several entry points were considered, including possible overhead pathways, underground conduits, and wall-mounted raceways. Each option was evaluated based on practicality, distance, and long-term durability.

Throughout the inspection, our team emphasized the importance of maintaining optimal cable bending radius and minimizing signal interference. The client was actively involved in the route planning, expressing preferences for minimal visual impact while still ensuring accessibility for future maintenance. In response, we proposed a solution that balances aesthetic considerations with technical requirements: using wall-mounted conduits in less visible areas, combined with protective enclosures for exposed sections of the cable run.

The site inspection also included discussions on network scalability, as Rapid Visa anticipates further expansion in the near future. To accommodate this, we recommended the installation of additional conduit capacity or fiber pairs as part of a future-ready design. This proactive approach ensures that the network can scale without requiring another full reinstallation.

By the end of the inspection, both the client and our team agreed on a finalized route that offers efficiency, protection, and compliance with structured cabling standards. With the pathway and destination confirmed, the next phase will involve cable pulling, splicing, and termination, followed by a thorough round of testing and certification.
