Single Mode vs Multi-Mode Fibre Optic Cabling

Choosing the Right Fibre Type for Your Setup

Each type of fibre optic cable serves a different purpose. Choosing the right one depends on the size of your building, the layout, and how much data you need to move.

  • Single-Mode Fibre:
    • Transmits one light signal through a narrow core
    • Best for long distances with minimal signal loss
    • Ideal for data centres, campuses, and backbone infrastructure
  • Multi-Mode Fibre:
    • Uses a wider core to carry multiple light signals
    • Better suited for short-range installations
    • Often used in office floors and local LAN setups

If you’re unsure which fits your site, our technicians will assess your space and help you make the right choice based on your performance and distance needs.

Fibre Optic Installation Tools

Specialised Equipment for Clean Connections and Reliable Testing

Fibre optic installs require precision tools for cutting, fusing, and verifying every connection. Our team uses the latest equipment to deliver top-tier installs with minimal signal loss.

Crimper:
Ensures secure connector attachment by applying pressure to the connector instead of the glass core during termination.
Cleaver:
Cuts stripped fibre at a precise angle to prepare for clean splicing or connectorisation.
Fusion Splicer:
Joins two ends of a fibre cable by welding them together, creating a seamless connection with minimal optical loss.
CertiFiber Pro Optical Loss Test Set:
A diagnostic tool from FLUKE Networks that tests and certifies installed fibre links for performance and signal loss.

These tools help us ensure that every fibre run meets strict performance standards from end to end.

Request-to-Exit Devices

Exiting usually doesn’t require authentication. Most systems include a motion sensor or push-button that unlocks the door when triggered. This keeps traffic flowing without compromising security.
