Craig Cleveland, the owner of Connected Fiber, started splicing fiber 17 years ago while an employee of Commscope. When he rotated off he and other splicer’s from Corning (at the time Siecor) and Dy-Comm worked on a project in Tennessee.

In 1997 he started Fiber Core Inc. His crews consisted of fiber techs from Comm Scope, Siecor, Sumitomo, ATT, and Time Warner.

In 2005 Fiber Core changed its name to Connected Fiber after Scientific Atlanta acquired a co from the United Kingdom with the same name. Today Connected Fiber still employs most of the same crews in-house or in a sub contract position.
