Optical transport link between Cedar Falls and Enseva in Hiawatha Tuesday 11th August 2020 08:44:23


We have identified that the path from Cedar Falls to Enseva in Hiawatha is down. Technicians are doing OTDR shots to see if we can identify the location of the break. Traffic is still passing using the redundant path at this time, so there is a loss of redundancy but services are operational.

The fiber provider has repaired this path and redundancy has been restored.

The fiber provider has informed us the source of this cut is a pole line the fiber is on near Hiawatha is down and they have to wait for poles to be re-set before they can proceed with fixing the break.
