FAQ

Cleaning fibre optic connectors is crucial to maintain optimal signal transmission and prevent network issues caused by contamination.

The three most widely recognised Standards ISO 11801, EN 50173 and TIA all have test limits for MPTL and MPTL+PoE for Class D, E and Ea. (Categories 5e, 6 and 6a).

Cable trunking is used to route and protect cables along walls or ceilings, providing a neat and organized appearance. It is often used in office and commercial settings.

Ensure that the chosen containment system complies with relevant standards and regulations, such as those set by EN 50174-2 or local building codes

Cable trays provide excellent support for large volumes of cables, allow for easy installation and modifications, and offer good ventilation to prevent overheating.

Conduit systems are ideal for protecting cables in environments where they may be exposed to physical damage or where a high level of protection is required.

In harsh environments, such as industrial or outdoor settings, robust and corrosion-resistant materials like galvanized steel or aluminum are preferred.

Consider factors such as the environment (indoor or outdoor), the volume of cables, ease of installation, accessibility for maintenance, and budget.

Materials include steel, aluminum, plastic, and fibreglass. The choice depends on factors like strength, durability, corrosion resistance, and cost.

Common types include cable trays, cable ladders, cable baskets, conduit systems, and trunking.

Cable containment refers to the systems and structures used to organize, support, and protect data cabling within a building or installation.

Proper cable containment ensures optimal performance, safety, and aesthetics of the cabling infrastructure. It helps prevent damage, reduces electromagnetic interference, and makes maintenance easier.

Internet Service Provider.

Challenges include high initial deployment costs, the need for extensive infrastructure upgrades, and potential disruptions during installation.

FTTx allows isps to offer higher-speed services, attract more customers, and stay competitive in the market.

FTTx availability varies by region and service provider. It is more common in urban areas and regions with high demand for high-speed internet.

The process involves laying fiber optic cables from the service provider's Point of Presence to the designated endpoint (home, building, curb, etc.), followed by connecting the fiber to the network equipment at the endpoint

Key equipment includes optical line terminals (olts) at the service provider's end, optical network terminals (onts) or optical network units (onus) at the customer's end, and fibre optic cables

FTTx provides higher bandwidth, faster internet speeds, improved reliability, and future-proofing for increasing data demands.

FTTh provides a direct fibreconnection to the home, offering higher speeds and better performance. FTTc uses fibre to the curb, with the last segment typically using existing copper infrastructure, which can limit speed and performance.
