A simple 1-core FTTH drop cable costs around $0. Fiber-optic cable materials typically cost $1 to $6 per linear foot, depending on fiber count and cable type. Commercial building installations with 100-200 network drops generally range from $15,000 to $30,000. For most commercial projects, expect to pay $50–$150 per fusion splice point - but that number can swing in either direction based on the factors below. Fibre optic cable price depends a lot on where the optical cable. The cost of splicing fiber optic cables can vary significantly based on several factors, including the type of splice, the equipment used, the location of the job, and the expertise required. Cost factors include material.
