Red optical light on NBN box
Fibre cable pulled from connector
Internet stopped suddenly
Fibre cable bent or snapped

Broken NBN fibre is more common than people think.
Typical causes include:
pets chewing fibre cables
vacuum cleaners pulling the cable
furniture crushing the fibre
fibre patch leads being bent too tightly
damaged connectors inside the NBN box
If the fibre damage is inside your premises, NBN will usually not repair it.
A registered cabler can replace the fibre connector or optical cable to restore service.

Why is the optical light red on my NBN box?
A red optical light usually indicates the NBN box is not receiving signal from the fibre network.
Can fibre cables be repaired?
Most damaged fibre optic cables are replaced rather than repaired.
Can I replace the fibre cable myself?
Work on telecommunications cabling must be done by a registered cabler with an Optical Fibre Endorsement under the Australian Communications and Media Authority cabling rules. Optical fibre cable and connectors are very delicate. They must be cleaned, inspected and installed correctly using specialist tools. This is beyond the ability of the Handyman.
How long does fibre repair take?
Most repairs can be completed within one service call.
