Spectrum just ran fiber to my house and they left the wire running inside exposed. It looks like the installer was a little lazy about it. I would think you would want to pop the conduit into the box and not have it exposed. Let me know what you think

Not much correct with that install. Wrong connectors mated, no protection for the incoming fiber cable or for the patch cable going into the house. A small bump on that patch and it’ll get smashed against that “tube” and break.

They are coming next week to bury the line and the incoming cable will be covered then… from what I’m told

You can always get one of these patch cables SC/APC in the length of your choice to replace that blue UPC cable.

The only silver lining here is that they left you enough Slack to pretty much put your network rack anywhere on the property 🤣
