Not unless you have a fusion splicer.
Calling dBmV Don't call me. I'm so backed up with my own customers right now I need to be 3 people. But seriously BB, there ain't no easy fix. If it was a large count cut it would be a 911 emergency (and expensive for the crew that caused the damage) but one customer you'll be lucky if somebody shows on friday.

I took a class on fiber repair one time. Found out mighty quick it wasn't for me. May be easier now but I never got the hang of it then.

How did it get cut? Hope nobody was digging without line locators marking everything first. That gets expensive, quick. Yep - someone is about to write a big check. Probably an underground NEMA enclosure, fiber splice, OTDR tests...etc. Contractor in tuscaloosa cut one of our 288 fiber lines. It was around 26k to get somebody to fix it.
Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the one with deep ruts,hills and mud.It may be bumpy but WHAT A RIDE!

Loose tube in about 8 hours if somebody brought me some lunch. But that price gets you some construction too.

That sucks but yep unfortunately fusion splicer, wonder what count strand fiber it was because that could end up being a hefty bill.

I am not sure where everything runs or "exactly" where it was cut. After everyone on here told me that I was SOL and there was nothing that I could do, I stopped worrying about it. haha Line runs towards neighbors house (new construction), they had a tractor over there grading their lot and the internet went out. Wife called Frontier and they couldn't connect to our house, and concluded that it was cut.

So just just swap the fiber to the curb jumper if there’s a spare laying in there.

A little scotch tape, should be good to go. You have to use NASCAR duct tape for high speed fiber optic.

Won't even charge the guy that cut it. BB make sure you are standing in the driveway 1 hour each side of the time the guy is supposed to be there. A lot of jobs get cancelled on Friday afternoon.
