Fibre optic cables (also called optical fibre cables) transmit information as light pulses through flexible fibres composed of glass. Fibre is now a common option for data networks and telecom applications due to the high speeds for data transmission that fibre technology offers, particularly across long distances.

We supply cut-to-length and pre-terminated cables in a wide range of options, allowing our customers to choose the fibre construction, mode, core count and other customisations they require. 

Find the Right Fibre Optic Cable

Our huge range of fibre optic cables cater for the needs of today’s modern communications networks, with an option for almost any environment across enterprise, defence, IoT, utilities, infrastructure, and other applications. 

Indoor/Outdoor Riser (IOR) Cable

These RoHS-compliant multi-fibre Riser cables are constructed from 900um PVC tight buffered fibres, stranded together with “Dry-Block” water-swellable aramid blocking yarns. These cables are over sheathed with UV resistant, LSZH material making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. Sheath printing includes length marking at 1-metre intervals. There are options for alternative colours and are available in any fibre type up to 48 fibres. 

Loose Tube Cable

A termite resistant Loose Tube cable featuring a non-metallic strength member, gel filled tubes and a dry block core, for use in both direct bury and conduit/duct applications. The Thixotropic gel filled tubes and water swellable yarns (dry core) prevent water ingress while the non-metallic glass fibre reinforced plastic central strength member maintains excellent tensile strength. Our standard loose tube construction features an inner UV resistant Polyethylene (PE) sheath and an outer termite/UV resistant Polyamide Nylon jacket. Reduced diameter loose tube cables are also available which are ideal for restricted spaces and minimise conduits requirements. 

Hybrid Loose Tube Cable

These cables have the same construction as the standard Loose Tube cables but contain two different types of fibre. Usually in a combination of Single-mode and multi-mode but can also consist of two different grades of Multi-mode. Different fibre types are contained in the different tubes. 

Armoured Loose Tube Cable

Our Armoured Fibre Optic Loose Tube cables provide excellent protection against rodents and termites. We can supply with a Corrugated Steel Tape armour or GRP (non-metallic) armour. Loose Tube cables have gel-filled tubes and a dry block core, for use in both direct bury and conduit/duct applications. The Thixotropic gel filled tubes and water swellable yarns (dry core) prevent water ingress while the glass fibre reinforced plastic central strength member maintains excellent tensile strength. The loose tube construction features an outer termite/UV resistant Polyamide Nylon jacket for added protection. 

Tactical Distribution Cable

Our Tactical Distribution Cables are Re-deployable and ideally suited to harsh environments such as outside broadcast, sporting events, industrial, mining and military. They have a Polyurethane outer sheath making them flexible, lightweight, and extremely durable. They are also flame retardant, UV resistant and water-blocked. 

Tactical Break Out Cable

Our Tactical Breakout Cables are Re-deployable and ideally suited to harsh environments such as military, mining, and industrial. They have a Polyurethane outer sheath making them flexible, lightweight, and extremely durable. They are also flame retardant, UV resistant and water blocked. 

Duplex Cable

Our Duplex cables are rugged and very reliable. They are available in a wide variety of fibre types and colours to suit a range of applications. Commonly used in patch cord construction or Fibre to the Desk (FTTD) applications. They have a LSZH outer sheath and are a two fibre Zip cord/Figure-8 construction making them easy to strip and connectorise. 

Fire-Rated Cable

Our fire-rated fibre cables are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. They are fire rated to IEC 60331–25 120 minutes at 750° Celsius max increase in attenuation 0.5dB. They are a Jelly-filled mono tube construction with a red LSZH outer sheath and protected with Mica tape and glass yarns.

FAQ Fiber Optic Cables

  1. How do fiber optic cables enhance connectivity compared to Ethernet cables?
  2. Speed and distance – these are two of the best things fiber optic cables bring to the table. Ethernet cables use copper wires, but in fiber optic cables, data is transmitted through light. This means zero interference, and the speeds are much higher over longer stretches. So, ideally, we recommend fiber optics for large networks like data centres. The benefit – it’s all about super-fast data and stable connections.

  3. What are the key benefits of using fiber optic cables with a media converter?
  4. The best thing about using a media converter – it lets you mix fiber and copper networks without a headache. Is your network based on Ethernet? In this case, a media converter can help you reach the speeds of fiber optic in certain spots. All you have to do is to plug in the converter. The benefit is real – you’ll experience seamless communication between fiber and RJ45 devices.

  5. Can fiber optic cables be combined with RJ45 connectors in hybrid setups?
  6. Not directly – you can analyse and RJ45 connectors like apples and oranges. However, it’s possible to link them if you use a fiber-to-Ethernet adapter. We also recommend using switches with fiber ports if you want to combine fiber optic cables with RJ45 connectors. In fact, that’s a great way to retain your current Ethernet configuration while upgrading critical links.

  7. How do I ensure proper installation of fiber optic cables to avoid data loss?
  8. Just remember – you must handle fiber optic cables with care to avoid loss of data. Although fiber is tough, it’s not indestructible. So, what we recommend is – avoid sharp bends while connecting. Also, keep the connectors clean as dust can interfere with signals. Also, are you using the right type of fiber? Single-mode fibres are suitable for long distances. Go for multi-mode ones if the distance is reasonably short. Most importantly – test everything once they are installed. This will help you detect weak links.

  9. What maintenance is required to keep fiber optic cables functioning efficiently?
  10. Coming to maintenance – there’s a lot of work to be done. Your connectors must be clean. Even a tiny bit of duct can weaken your signal. We recommend using fiber cleaning kits and checking connections regularly. Also, don’t unplug the connections unnecessarily. Remember, fiber connectors are delicate. Constant handling means they will wear out faster.
