<div dir="ltr">No. At least in our case, there are so many things that can go wrong both with the installation (fiber you were certain was spliced actually isn't, machinery breaking down, etc.) that it's easier to just make it a 2-step process. There are times when we'll just go ahead and do all of it in one trip, but I prefer to do it in 2.
