Pre- terminated Fibre Optic Cable Assemblies

Pre-terminated fibre optic cable assemblies present an efficient and effective cable deployment option for any size of fibre optic network. High precision factory terminations, coupled with exceptional quality cable in a range of constructions and styles and fully factory tested terminations ensure peace of mind and rapid deployment.

                              Compact multifibre terminations available up to 144 fibres
                              Low losses due to quality factory terminations and premium connectors
                              Rapid deployment time with pre-connectorised assemblies - simply plug and play
                              Compact size breakout units improve space management in high density applications
                              A variety of cable constructions available including loose-tube, tight buffered riser, round mini & ribbon
                              Available termination options include a range of simplex, duplex and multifibre connectors
                              Optional integrated connector sheath limits potential damage during hauling and installation
                              Eliminates the need for splicing equipment
 
Applications

                              Data Centre, SAN & Enterprise networks
                              Campus & site networks
                              Remote locations including mine sites & drilling fields
                              Dangerous environments where splicing equipment is restricted
                              Installations requiring rapid turnaround
                              Plug and play networks
