FIBRE OPTICS CABLING
Fibre Optics is becoming ever more essential to ensure high performance levels within any communications network design. They can be installed to the Desktop retaining greater speed than copper cabling, but this is generally not applied at this stage due to the cost implications associated with such an installation and due to the durability of the fibre cable segments.
Fibre Optic segments are generally used as Backbone links that link Local Area Network distribution cabinets, or as direct links to essential network interfaces to maximize traffic delivery. This requirement is generally fulfilled using multimode fibre cable which, as the name suggests, is designed to support many modes or rays of light which makes it ideal for different network needs.
Multimode fibre cable is available in several core sizes, which are appropriate to different network designs. Fibre core size is measured in microns and multimode fibre is specified by its core size.
Principle among multimode fibre are 62.5/125 and 50/125. Businessland can install multimode Fibre Optic cable as part of an appropriate network design.
Fibre Optic cabling can be terminated and presented in many different ways (ST,SC, MTRJ etc) depending on customer preference and available budget.
Businessland tend to perform direct terminations yet splice terminations can be applied if required.
Another form of Fibre Optic cabling that can be applied and integrated into a network design by Businessland is single mode Fibre Optic cable, which is generally installed over long distance due to its small concentrated core size.
All Fibre Optic cabling installations that are undertaken and completed by Businessland are documented and archived by our engineering teams. Equipment used for analysing and documenting any fibre optic segment installed by Businessland is Optical Time Domain Relectometers or OTDRs as they are commonly known.
Businessland use Net test Laser Precision OTDR test equipment. These testers are maintained and calibrated regularly.
