Fiber-Optic Networks

What are Fiber-Optic Networks?

Fibre-optic cabling carries data as light through glass strands. It supports much longer distances than copper and is unaffected by electrical interference, which makes it the usual choice for backbones between floors, between buildings on a campus, and for links to distant cameras or outbuildings.

How ITPro helps

ITPro handles fibre backbone design, installation, termination, splicing and testing. The work includes choosing suitable single-mode or multimode cable for the distances involved, routing it safely, terminating it in patch panels, and testing each link before handover.

Typical use cases

• Backbone links between floors or wings of a building
• Connecting separate buildings on the same site
• Long runs to perimeter cameras, gatehouses or barriers
• Upgrading congested copper uplinks between comms rooms

How it fits with related services

Fibre forms the backbone of LAN/WAN designs and links racks and cabinets across a site. It often carries traffic for CCTV, perimeter protection and access control systems that cover large areas.
