I have a conceal fiber line to the house but unfortunate the 1 meter fiber line which is expose to outdoor become brittle but i have no choice but to save this line else I will need to pull a new line.
The picture show the fiber box, you can see the fiber core in blue already expose and a few fracture along the line.
I was thinking of using a water proof duct tape to wrap the line.
Can you suggest any other way?

Exposed fiber is ok, just changed to a good waterproof box to protect it.

the problem is the noise level is very high and causing my internet speed to degrade

Did you check the reading at this 2 joints for comparisons?

there are some noise after the 2 joint but the most noise was incur by the conceal wire and i suspect the expose fiber core contributed the most!

Can give all the 3 readings?

the reading from TM, 1st joint, is 20, and after the 2nd joint, 22, both of this is before the brittle fiber. Inside my house is 35+.

30 above is bad. If aesthetic is an issue see if any local installer carry this invisible fiber.

I was thinking of just using either electrical wire tape or just sellotape to wrap around the brittle cable to prevent further damage, do you think it will do the trick?
