Fiber Remediation — Executive Status

Campaign to clean and re-validate every fiber connection between compute units (SUs) and the network core — 18 units, 1,200 links each, cleaned at both ends. Validation is automated against the live network.

Only ports the collectors flagged as problems carry paired readings, so this is the hard population — healthy links aren't in this chart. Higher (less negative) rx dBm is better; "no light" = LOS / below −25 dBm.
