Lumos remains steadfast in its mission to deliver uninterrupted, accessible, 100% Fiber Optic Internet that has the capacity for today’s Internet needs and that anticipates tomorrow’s. The expansion will blanket the region with nearly 1,200 miles of the latest fiber optic technology, with a capital investment of more than $100 million and the first investment from the company in the South Carolina region. High Point, NC (January 10, 2023) – Lumos is pleased to announce that they will be making a significant technology infrastructure investment in South Carolina’s Richland and Lexington Counties, bringing ultra-high-speed 100% Fiber Optic Internet service across the greater Columbia area. Q: Where are these cable assemblies made? Our cable assemblies are made in our factory, located at our headquarters in Orange, California.Lumos to Build Close to 1,200 Miles of Fiber Optic Technology for Local Residents and Businesses *Cables assemblies under 100′ in length will ship without a spool to reduce packaging. ![]() ![]() ![]() The cables are delivered via FedEx or UPS, or if you contact us we can ship via your shipping provider. Q: How will the cable be shipped? Our cables are shipped on a cable spool* with both ends secured for safe transport. The cable you order will likely be one of these brands: Corning, Prysmian, AFL, or Superior Essex. Q: What brand cable will I get? We stock of our fiber cables only from name brand manufactures, we may rotate stock from manufacturer to manufacture as lead times vary significantly when it comes time for us to replenish our own inventory. These numbers correlate with the TIA color coding standard, as underneath the protective tubing each fiber is color coded: Fiber Number These labels will have the fiber # printed on it. Q: How are the fibers identified? Each of the cable assembly ends will have a protective tubing added and the tubing will be color coded to the fiber type:Ī label is then affixed to each individual fiber strand. *Cable breakout lengths will vary slightly on the pulling sheath end as they may be staggered for higher strand count cables. Q: What is the breakout length? The breakout length is the following: The breakout lengths vary based on strand count and can be found in the cables specification section. This portion of the length will have the heavy jacketing on the cable. The cable length is the value selected when ordering and is charged by foot. ![]() Q: What will the over all length of my cable be? To calculate the over all cable length you will need to add: Cable Length + Side 1 Breakout Length + Side 2 Breakout length. See our Pulling Sheath info graphic for additional information. For cable assemblies with higher strand count cables the connectors will be staggered in length to allow for the smallest possible diameter. The cable end with the pulling sheaths is meant to be run through the conduit, your pulling string should be affixed to the loop at the end of the pulling sheath. Conduits with existing cables will have mixed results. A larger size conduit can typically handle longer runs, a conduit path with less bends will typically be an easier pull. Our recommendation is a general guideline as conduit pulls are very specific to the conduit path. We have listed the minimum size conduit size each cable will fit into. Q: What size conduit will this cable fit through? Each cable will have a different diameter and the pulling sheaths will have a minimum recommended conduit size. ![]()
