Hi Sparkies

I have hit a fibre network conduit in the garden but luckily the fibre isn’t damaged. There is an old, redundant copper landline cable in there that I damaged.

My question is, can I patch the PVC pipe and walk away leaving some residual moisture trapped Inside? Or will the whole section need replacing and sealed up?

I have opened a support ticket with the provider and awaiting the official report on repairs.

    The fiber very likely has its’ own waterproof sleeve and is likely to be fine, but I would fix it right, if I had the means, i.e. replace the conduit. Wait and hear what the provider says.
