“Doctors Hospital in Edinburg, Texas, successfully expanded their fiber network using TiniFiber’s 24 strand OS2 I/O fiber. Network Manager Gabriel Robledo praised TiniFiber for saving space, time, and labor, completing the project in one-third the scheduled time.”
“A healthcare network in Oregon and southwest Washington adopted TiniFiber for its small diameter, flexible installation, and ease of termination. The initial installation of TiniFiber’s single mode 4 fiber product successfully connected two administration LAN networks, overcoming space constraints.
“A condo project deployed TiniFiber within a limited budget and an older building. Running 750 feet of cable through a shared conduit with multiple 90-degree bends, the installation was completed ahead of schedule. The product’s efficiency and durability exceeded expectations.”

Doctors Hospital, located in Edinburg, Texas, is the largest physician owned hospital in the country. Encountering the need to extend the reach of their existing fiber network, the plan was to run a fiber ring around the DHR campus. Since the conduits were already partially full and the fact that the hospital had a total of 20 buildings to get fiber to, this could have been a difficult situation. Pulling conventional AIA fiber through those existing conduits was sure to be problematic. The answer to the impending obstacle was simple . . . utilize TiniFiber!
Gabriel Robledo, Network and Communications Manager with DHR, aptly compared pulling the TiniFiber 24 strand OS2 I/O fiber to that of pulling in a Cat-6 cable. Robledo stated, “We do all our own installations and TiniFiber not only saved us space in our conduit system, it also saved us time and labor.” Robledo continued, “I scheduled three weeks to pull in the new fiber and my team finished pulling all the fiber in one week.” Robledo and his team marveled at the size of the spools which is much smaller and easier to move around. This was especially appreciated while working in the hospital environment. Robledo went on to say, “From the moment the technicians placed the fiber inside the conduit, they were amazed at the small diameter and flexibility of the 24-strand fiber. This made things easy for them to pull over sensitive areas of the hospital. I would definitely recommend TiniFiber for any application; be it a health care facility, office/campus LAN, etc.”

This customer operates system of hospitals and clinics across Oregon and southwest Washington. They are an institution of higher learning, with schools of medicine, nursing, pharmacy, dentistry and public health – and with a network of campuses and partners throughout Oregon.
Tinifiber was first considered as their primary fiber backbone product specification initially because of its small OD, flexible installation characteristics and ease of termination for armored applications. After initially installed and reviewed, all the above benefits were confirmed, and the product was immediately added to the campus wide specification. This installation connected two administration LAN networks utilizing our single mode 4 fiber product. Because of congested and pathway space, TiniFiber was a superior solution that met all the installation challenges. Moving forward, we will be the preferred manufacture for several new and existing facility projects for 2024 and beyond.

We’re excited to share the success story of commissioning a group of condos where we deployed TiniFiber. Despite working within a limited budget and dealing with the challenges of an older residential condo in an established rental property, the project exceeded expectations.
Our strategy involved running the cable through a shared ¾ inch conduit from the Mechanical Penthouse on the 9th floor down to the underground P2 parking garage, covering approximately 750 feet. Despite encountering numerous 90-degree elbows along the way, we managed to complete the rough-in with remarkable efficiency, even for armored fiber. Extensive use of lubrication ensured smooth handling throughout.
Surpassing our initial timeline expectations, we finished the installation a week ahead of schedule, without encountering any issues such as stretching or kinking. Despite the weight of the 1500-foot reel, it was manageable and facilitated easy handling.
During the installation process, TiniFiber proved to be exceptionally user-friendly, effortlessly running off the spool with minimal effort. Its resistance to dirt accumulation and jacket abrasion, even during strenuous pulls like these, was notably impressive.
