Need some advice please guys

Hi all, first time poster here.

I'm wondering if I could pick any your brains please.

We have a link between 2 sites which went down, previously it ran a cat5 cable 146 meters, point to point (don't ask, I didn't do it). Last Monday something happened late at night and everything went down until we arrived back in work the next day.

We've had a fibre link installed by a local cabling company, now they have installed a SC fibre patch panel at each side. Obviously our switches are LC fibre, so we've purchased some SC to LC fibre cables, plugged everything in, and no dice.

I've pulled the switch over from the other building and plugged them both directly into each other, bypassing the fibre link, and we're golden.

We've swapped the fibre cables over on both sides of the patch panel, tried different ports, and it still don't work

I've just spoken to the cabling company and they've confirmed they tested it working, and they're bringing some kit over now to test it again and prove it works.

Does anyone have any ideas what else it could be?
