Installing Fibre Optics

Fibre optic cabling is made up of highly durable optical fibers, which are strands of glass or plastic. Plastic fibres tend to be used for very short-range and consumer applications while glass fibres are used for medium-range and long-range telecommunications.

The fibres are individually coated with plastic layers and contained in a protective tube. The jacketing materials are meant to protect against damages and UV radiation. Most cables are jacketed with LSZH, polyvinyl chloride, polyethylene, and other polymers.

Fibre optic cables transmit data using pulses of infrared laser light that travel through the plastic or glass strands. Light moves faster than electrical pulses, which is why fibre optics are used in long distance telecommunication and high-speed data connections between different parts of a commercial building.

The Reliability of Fibre Optics

Optical fibers are very strong when they’re wrapped in protective plastic layers. Fibre optics has a higher bandwidth than other cabling options. These lines are fully resistant to fire, electromagnetic interference, lightning, or radio signals.

However, throughout the manufacturing process, cabling, and installation, these fibres can develop microscopic flaws that break down at the cable’s strength. Because fibre optics utilize infrared laser light to move data, you’ll find that the signal gets interrupted by refracting light.

Damaged Fibre Optic Cables

Fibre optic cables are particularly durable when they’re properly protected. Our data cabling engineers assess the cables before we install them to see if there are any signs of damage.

The thing to remember is that fibre optic cables work through transferring infrared laser light down the cable. The best way to check your fibre cables is to invest in a fibre tracer or visual fault locator. These inexpensive tools help to identify if a fibre is having issues. The tester will let you know if a fibre is capable of transmitting light.
Sometimes, it’s only one fiber that is having issues. Other times, there are connection issues. If you have trouble with your fibre optic cables, it’s a good idea to call in a network data cabling service to ensure the fibre optic cable can be fixed quickly.
