Lightning-fast, reliable connectivity
OM1, OM3, OM4 & OS2
Fibre optic cables present notable advantages over traditional copper data cables in specific applications such as offices, data centres, telecom networks, and generally where high-speed and reliability are critical. They can be broadly categorised into singlemode (OS1 & OS2) for extended distances and multimode (OM1, OM2, OM3 & OM4) for more localised data distribution.
Available in various configurations, such as loose-tube or tight buffered construction, with or without armours, fibre optic cables offer a cost-effective, lightweight, high-speed, and compact alternative to copper. They are also impervious to electromagnetic radiation, enabling installation alongside power cables or in electrically noisy environments.
Beyond internal/external and armoured options, FS Cables are the only UK stockist of the Draka Firetuf Fire Resistant Fibre Optic cables. Engineered to continue functioning in the event of a fire, these cables are well-suited for critical data circuits in applications like CCTV, evacuation monitoring, and emergency data transfer situations. Enhanced fire safety features include limited smoke generation, halogen-free properties, and restricted fire spread, making them ideal for deployment in transportation systems, data centres, and hospitals.
