Federal Bureau of Prisons Fiber Optic Infrastructure Upgrades

Nationwide, Multi-State Project | Federal Government Contract

Project Overview

Benson Electric completed fiber optic infrastructure upgrades for multiple facilities operated by the Federal Bureau of Prisons across the United States. The project involved installing new single‑mode fiber optic cabling to support communications infrastructure within secure correctional facilities. Work included routing fiber optic cabling through underground conduit systems, pulling fiber through manholes and utility vaults, and installing fiber connections within facility buildings and telecommunications rooms. Performing infrastructure installations within active correctional facilities requires strict adherence to security protocols and close coordination with facility personnel. Our team successfully completed fiber installations while maintaining operational security and following all required safety procedures.

Scope of Work

Benson Electric performed the installation, termination, and testing of fiber optic infrastructure across multiple federal facilities including:
  • Pulling single‑mode fiber optic cabling through underground conduit systems
  • Routing fiber through manholes and underground utility infrastructure
  • Installing fiber optic cabling into secure facility buildings
  • Dressing fiber cables into server racks and telecommunications cabinets
  • Performing fusion splicing of fiber optic strands
  • Terminating fiber connections within communications equipment rooms
  • Testing and certifying fiber connections to Federal Bureau of Prisons specifications

Confined Space & Secure Facility Work

A significant portion of the fiber installation required work within underground manholes and utility vaults, requiring confined space procedures and specialized installation practices.

All work was performed within active federal correctional facilities, requiring strict coordination with facility staff and adherence to security protocols to ensure safe operations within the prison environment.

Fiber Splicing & Testing

Once fiber optic infrastructure was installed, Benson Electric performed fusion splicing and termination of fiber strands to create permanent low‑loss connections.

Each fiber connection was thoroughly tested using specialized fiber optic testing equipment to verify signal integrity and ensure the infrastructure met the performance requirements established by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
