Pre-Terminated Fibre
FAQs
Pre-terminated fibre trunks are factory assembled, connectorised fibre cables supplied in custom or standard lengths with connectors already fitted and tested. They eliminate the need for onsite fibre termination or splicing, making them a plug and play solution for data centers, enterprise networks, and FTTx installations.
The advantages are:
- Faster installation with up to 85% quicker than traditional field termination methods.
- Consistent quality with factory tested connectors to ensure low insertion loss and reliable performance.
- Reduced labour and equipment costs with no splicing machines or highly skilled termination labour required onsite.
- Scalability, with a modular design supporting easy future network expansion.
When choosing a trunk, consider:
- Fibre type, like singlemode OS2 for long-haul, or multimode OM3/OM4 for short to medium high speed runs.
- Connector type, like LC, SC, or MPO/MTP, depending on your patch panels and equipment.
- Cable length, measure exact distances between cabinets or racks to avoid excess slack.
- Configuration, straight-through or cross-over mapping based on system design.
Accessories include:
- Pre-terminated cassettes or modules to interface trunks with standard LC or SC ports.
- Fibre patch panels for housing and managing trunk terminations.
- Cable management bars and guides to ensure proper routing and bend radius protection.
- Labelling kits for clear identification and easier ongoing maintenance.
