FAQs

What is fibre optics?

Communications through modified light directed by a clear optical fibre are referred to as “fibre optics.” As a relatively new technology, the terminology used by users might vary greatly. In the United Kingdom, its fibre optics, occasionally fibreoptics or fibreoptics (as one word). Within the industry, we normally use the term “fibre” to refer to the optical fibre itself, however some people use it to refer to an optical fibre cable.

Why You Should Install Fibre Optics

More Bandwidth

The main benefit of a fibre optic connection is that it offers noticeably better performance in terms of bandwidth. Any other cable-based communication method cannot compare to the amount of data that may be sent.

Greater Distance

Lightweight & Thin

Superior Carrying Capacity

Less Interference

Types Of Fibre Optic

There are two main types of fibre optic cabling:

Multi-mode
single-mode

Single Mode Fibre Cables

Positive → Far greater distance than multi-mode up to 10Km
Negative → Media converters more expensive
OS1 → More for indoor use (less restriction on bend radius) – 10Gb up to 2Km
OS2 → Long hauls – 10Gb 80Km with suitable transceiver or several 1000 Km with light amplifiers

Our Multi Mode Fibre Optic Cabling Services

Multi mode fibre cables are used for Local Area Networks (LAN) where the network links can be up to 2,000 meters. They have a graded index profile to reduce the dispersion of the signal during the transmission.

Multi mode fibre cables

OM1 → Older specification – 1Gb up to 300 metres
OM2 → Not generally used for modern installations – 1Gb up to 600 metres
OM3 → 10Gb up to 300 metres – 40Gb to 100Gb up to 100 metres
OM4 → 10Gb up to 550 metres – 100Gb up to 150 metres
