Hi guys, this internet cable from Proximus which connects the network with my house currently lies above ground. We’re expected to put it 60cm under the surface.
There’s a ‘wachtbuis’ which we can use, but it wasn’t accessible when they installed it first. Is it possible to open this connection and reconnect after the (fiber) cable is in the tube? Or is this a destructive connection? (Sorry for the bad focus, but I assume if you know how to answer the question, you will recognise the connection)
Thanks!

No, you shouldn’t be messing with those cables.
No.. don’t break that. You need a fibre splicer to fuse it together and make sure the cores don’t have an offset.

This “connector” is just to have a watertight connection on the orange tube which they extended. We use the same kind of connectors to connect small water or air tubes. The fiber thats running through the tube is uninterrupted.
Tldr: connector is for outer tube, not a fiber disconnect.
