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.
