Fiber & Copper Cable Quality Control Technician

Position Overview

We are hiring a Fiber & Copper Cable QC Technician to oversee the quality control of cable labeling and organization within our data center environments. This role is critical to ensuring that all fiber (including MPO-8 breakouts) and Cat6 copper cabling is labeled, bundled, and staged according to strict standards. The ideal candidate must have a strong eye for detail, technical knowledge of fiber and copper infrastructure, and the ability to communicate clearly with technicians, leads, and project managers.

Responsibilities

• Inspect fiber and Cat6 cables to ensure correct labeling format, placement, and durability.
• Verify that MPO breakout labels match the documented patch schedules and polarity configurations.
• Confirm copper cabling (Cat6) terminations are labeled and installed per floor plans and port maps.
• Ensure that cables are bundled neatly, consistently, and in compliance with bend-radius and pathway guidelines.
• Check routing paths for proper separation of fiber and copper, use of Velcro (no over-tightening), and logical grouping by destination or rack.
• Complete QA/QC checklists, noting all discrepancies and corrective actions required.
• Take clear photos of non-compliant work and provide before/after records when issues are corrected.
• Maintain logs of inspected zones, bundle groups, and cable types for handoff to project stakeholders.
• Work directly with cabling technicians and leads to provide immediate feedback on issues.
• Escalate repeated errors, labeling inconsistencies, or deviations from project documentation.
• Participate in team huddles or walk-throughs to explain QC expectations and results.

Requirements:

• 1+ years experience in a structured cabling, low-voltage QA/QC, or data center infrastructure environment.
• Strong knowledge of fiber cabling (especially MPO breakout types) and Cat6 standards.
• Familiarity with ANSI/TIA-568 labeling practices and project-specific labeling conventions.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills – must be able to clearly document issues and collaborate with field teams.
• High attention to detail and a commitment to documentation accuracy.
• Able to read and interpret rack elevations, patch schedules, and cable matrices.

Preferred Qualifications:

• BICSI certification or formal low-voltage QA/QC training.
• Experience in hyperscale or enterprise-level data center deployments.
• Proficiency with mobile documentation tools (Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, PlanGrid, etc.).
• OSHA 10/30 certification a plus.

This position is essential for maintaining the high-quality standards our company is known for, ensuring customer satisfaction through exceptional product reliability.
